Probably been done to death, but I have found this site with a heap of lovely lists. Though American, it would make a great prompt for beginner travelers. I certainly find it useful. Cheers Gemmybob

My husband and I have decided to sell up and travel around Australia over the next 12 months (or as long as it takes). Whilst we are embracing the idea of minimisation (having lived in a large home for many years) we are considering what sort of wheels to buy to embark on this epic journey. The 5th wheele...

Have noticed lots of caravans going past today and was thinking they may all be on their way out to the Hartwood festival near Tambar Springs. Any GN's among them I wonder. we hope to be going next year. frank

We urgently need to sell our 2014 Concept Ascot SX 22' van. We have tried several caravan selling sites but to no avail. Some dealers have told us it will be hard to sell because of the high price bracket ($75K). Would be grateful for any suggestions.

Hi all, I'm Steve and my wife is Sherri. We've just bought a 1992 Mazda T3500 to convert to our mobile home away from home. I've never driven anything as big as this before, but I jumped into the deep end right off the bat as we live on the Sunshine Coast in QLD and the bus was in Perth!!! Sherri had to work so I d...

North of Goomalling on the Botherling East Rd (approx 7km) right in the middle of the wheat fields. Top little spot and a bit uneven but it has toilets, BBQ and a picnic table. It can be a bit small but if you need/want more room across the road is a flat area you could park 150 RVs in.

Now, we have all heard of My Kitchen Rules. Well I am stranded on the NSW south coast due to the weather gods unleashing all their fury around here so I am being spoilt. I have been house sitting for Copper 1&2 and he decided to cook chicken in his pyjamas tonight for dinner, ooops, that should be chick...

Google Newcastle Herald and check out the many photos of the damage done in Stroud, Dungog and Newcastle surrounds, unbelievable!!! Makes you think just how safe are you when free camping along a river bank particularly in remote hilly areas without mobile coverage. I live not far from Stroud and of...

I am wondering what would be the best 12volt freezer to buy for Miss Daisy. I have gone a little overboard while house sitting, making soups, so have a freezer full. About to hit the road again and heading to the more outback regions so would like to buy meat and bread etc before I leave the main centres so t...
