i believe the rain up your way is terential, how are you all going?

In April, we hit the road to see the country. Headed to Queensland for the winter as the in-laws head to Caloundra every year. They left to go home, and we moved north to Tin Can Bay (Kingfisher Caravan Park). For a month. 3.5 months later, still here and not planning to move in the foreseeable future....

We are new at this caravaning thing and as with anything new there's always lots of people wanting to offer advice, tell you what you need, tell you what you don't need etc. Problem is... some of them don't have the experience to be telling you anything. We'll sort it out as we go, but the one thing that is c...

Would this trip be ok in a Merc Sprinter especially when I get into the high country. Would appreciate any advice on roads or anything to do with this trip. Going i...

Has anyone done the drive over the snow tops from Albury to Jindabyne Just wondering what the road would be like in Autumn and how steep in sections. We would like to give it a go rather than going all the way round.

Enquired about park passes for Innes Nat park in SA. Informed that if I am camping for I night or more I only need to pay for ONE pass. Was told by TAS parks that when I camp in Mt William Nat Tasmania I need a park pass for every day that I camp. Plus camping fees at both parks of course. As we know them as NATIO...

Hello all - from things I have heard of late the landcare people have taken over the running of the Long Paddock therefore it seems fairly obvious that they don't want the stock on the road. Apparently the prices might be going up so that will be another cost that farmers will have to face. This will b...

Hi all, we are Steve and Regina from WA and currently on the look out for our very first 21' second hand caravan. Neither of us have ever done this kind of thing before (I'm a 5 star hotel kinda girl) and we believe it's best we just jump in head first. We are planning on taking off in 3-4 months when it's a litt...
