Hi, we are currently farmsitting near Delungra on the Gwydir Highway, Northern NSW. Kettle is always on the hob if you want to call in for a cuppa. PM me.....

A young couple just arrived at the supermarket when their car conked out the man told his wife to still go and do the shopping and hopefully he can fix it by the time she gets back. The wife returned with the shopping to find a small group of spectators watching the work on the car, on closer inspection she n...

Anyone have any suggestions about places to stop and see on our journey to Coober Pedy, going via Mildura. We have a 20.6ft Supreme van and a Toyota 200 series. Any suggestions on free camp sites or low cost. -- Edited by John Kay on Saturday 18th of April 2015 11:34:34 AM

Hello all - are any nomads going to the festival?

We have finally been able to come to Greens Lake - good to meet just 3 GNs here - Big Gorilla, Glenelg and halfpint. I think we'll all be staying warm inside tonight. Certainly a change in temperature.

Hi all I fitted a webasco diesel heater to my Pheonix caravan some 3 years ago and it has worked really well in this time. I checked the manual recently to see if any servicing or basic maintenance was required on the unit but found nothing under either heading. So I am wondering does anyone have any knowl...

Our Journey so farAs promised I would write to you all and cover why I was MIA for the past year. So I've decided to begin from mid last year actually around May things began with the dramatic life. In May my Pop had a heart attack and a fall broke his ankle and being a frail older man he had a pacer put in (as...

A manager walks by his blonde secretary's desk when he notices she is crying her eyes out. Concerned for her well being, he asked her gently: "What's the matter?" To which the blonde replies, Early this morning I got a phone call saying that my aunt had passed away. The boss, feeling very s...

Stayed at the Lake Talbot Tourist Park on Thursday 16th April for 1 night (which was enough). I should have asked for a refund and moved to another caravan park. This park is managed by the Southern Cross Parks Group. The van sites where not level causing problems for most caravaners, even with wheel le...

Recently stayed at the Windmill Caravan Park at Ballarat. This caravan park is part of the Big4 group, I wonder how it retains being in this group, very old amenities block, the water pressure when connected to the van was a very low trickle and the grey water pipe in the ground appeared blocked. I would...

Hi Campers, we have a new van and have been out in it twice. So the toilet cassette has only been emptied twice... Both times on replacing the cassette, the toilet 'flush' will not work... First time it was looked at by the factory guys, they said two wires has come adrift... But it has happened aga...

I have posted a longer text about this place on the free camps topic, but be warned - its a dump and worth a max of $10 a night, not $25. The caretakers will also try to rip you off by charging you for the 7th night - when in fact it is free. Very limited power - what few are around the place require a standard 24...

Hi, I need new tyres for the Ranger 265/65/17. So far looked at everything from Coopers to Micky Thompson to Kumho's. Been told that Coopers tend to seperate in really hot conditions. and BFG's and MT's are up close to $400 each. Any ideas would be gratefully accepted, especially regarding Kumhos ...

One of the Clarence Holiday parks located on the Northern Rivers of NSW. We were looking to park up for 4/5 days in NSW School Holidays and found this small park some 36klm off the Pacific Hwy and probably 50/60 klms from Grafton. Located between Wooli River and Wooli Beach with level sites that have art...

My avan hot water tank has had the gong and the system needs replacing. It is used only for hat water at the sink. Has anyone installed one and do they heat up to a satisfactory temp. for the dishes? If I put it in, I thought the fridge could come out and a hole could be cut in that wall to remove the leaking tan...

I know this topic has been discussed previously but the search function isn't bringing a lot of threads up. We have a BT 50 and have been advised that the tyres will need replacing before the next service (40 000). These are the original tyres (Dunlop AT 22 Grandtrek - 265/65r17) and the caravan we're to...
