What a sad day, knowing the great, the one and only Richie Benaud has passed away today. Summer just won't be the same without Richie's thoughtful commentary. May he rest in peace.

I saw Cat Stevens at the local Caravan Park yesterday, he was looking a little sad. "Awning has broken" he said, rather dejectedly. -- Edited by petengail on Monday 13th of April 2015 01:16:50 PM

PM Abbott must immediately reverse the previous Governments unconsultative and very questionable April 2013 deletion of the ADR42/04(clause 10.3.1) requirement to extend engine exhaust outlets to the rear area of Motorhomes. This decision ignores a long-standing very commonly recognised R...

Hi I travelled in 2006 free camping for 8 months, and about to semi retire with off road rig, I have read the complaints in regards to CP costs. Maybe an alternative could be a web site where pensioners, single mums or just anyone that can use an extra $10 - $15 a day, advertise parking space at there hom...

Can anybody enlighten us on the proper equipment required to enjoy free camping.We have had plenty of different interpretations from people I would have expected to Know the finer points.That including Rangers who were quiet content on issuing fines and breach notices for supposed non complianc...

An Irish bank robber pulls out his gun, points it at the teller, and says "give me all your money or you're geography!" The puzzled teller replies "do you mean to say 'or you're history'? The Irishman yells back "Don't change the subject!!"

Last week I was down at the Bilyana Rest Area putting a new battery in a customers car. There was a guy mowing the area and he came over for a chat. He asked us to come over to the spot where two camper vans had just pulled out from 10 mins earlier. I've never seen anything like it They had left toilet paper, ly...

Went out last night and got really wasted, I woke up this morning next to a large old bird who was snoring and farting....so, at least I managed to get home OK!... The wife's back on the warpath again. She was u...

Just a general question. Are there plenty of either caravan parks or free stays with lots of travelers staying overnight in this stretch and would you need to carry extra fuel or are the servos close enough not to have to worry about it. We don't like to travel for too long in a day.

In the lastest Caravan and Motorhome magazine (which should have been available on-line at least a year ago for use travellers to access as they are published!!), on pg 16 in the Letters to the Editor, is a pic of a professionally made "breather that runs between the toilet cassette and the outsi...

Glue!!!! There are so many brands and types on the market today (allegedly each for a specific use which is why you need to pay for so many different ones). How many uses do you get out of the tube, bottle or syringe before the nozzle is blocked and you end up with your fingers stuck together, your clothes a...
