I've seen a lot bit of Negativity about Tasmania of late, so I just wanted to say.. that I've never been treated Negatively in Tasmania and have felt most welcome each time I go down there... you have to be aware that there are some places that don't like Free Campers - Same goes here on the Main Land as well...

Gday... Who fancies a little game of Media Watch Press? Check out this Agfa camera ad from 1967. They probably could have worded it better... Cheers - John

We're overnighting at the Caltex truck stop north of Warwick and heading down to Inglewood to stay at the RV Centre for a few days. Anyone around that would like to catch up for a cuppa? Regards Dave

So I dismantled the L shaped cafe lounge... Wasn't working for me, took up way too much space, pain in the arse moving around the bed, sold the seat cushions and table leg on eBay. I'm slowly removing the pelmets and fawn coloured curtains. they were dull... In my opinion... Here is is a contrast p...

I never thought Id make it; I was not a grey nomad merely just a spectator. I perused the site reading rarely commenting as I lived vicariously through the travels and experiences of others. Gaining knowledge and suddenly realising sometimes I had something I just wanted to know or better still I had E...

Planning a trip there for a week or so in Autumn.

Hi Just got our first van and looking forward to training ourselves up for a few years before we become fully fledged nomads. The grey bit doesn't work though, not enough hair left to see the colour and my dear wife has not a grey hair on her head, despite being married to me for over 32 years. Looking forwa...

We just bought a new Supreme 'van and have had the usual Aussie made problems with it. Sadly, the quality is not matched to the price we paid for it, but talking to independent caravan repairers, all of the 'van makers are pretty much the same - charge heaps and average to poor quality. Be aware that the w...

Because I am type 1 Diabetic, I am first cab off the rank to have another arthroscopy and rotator cuff repair on my left shoulder tomorrow morning. Have to be there at 7.15, and if all goes well I come home Tuesday before lunch. Six weeks in a sling and not allowed to drive is going to be a bit tough as I am just...

The caravan's been sitting at home for three months now with its only trip from the dealer to home. We set off tomorrow on the maiden voyage, just a couple of days to park on the banks of the Blackwood River, most probably Alexandra Road Bridge. I'm really looking forward to it.

How, Silly question really but would someone please tell me IN SIMPLE TERMS for a simple person what this black box is actually called and does I spose it's not a silly question really cos if I knew I wouldn't be asking. I call it a modulator but more than likely it's not. There are no lights or gauges etc...

I did a search, maybe I stuffed it up but there was bugger all about slow cookers. SHE WHO MUST BE OBEYED and I sing the praises of our slow cooker where ever we travel. We head out for the day fishing, bushwalking or just haven a sticky. We arrive back to base and our friend has the main part of our evening mea...

According to this report, IS are using a captured Syrian air base and MIG aircraft to train IS pilots to use them. The trainers are former Saddam Hussein pilots (Sunni's the same as IS). They have at least 3 serviceable planes at the moment that are flying around the base area, see; http://www.abc....

I've torn out my alarm system & de-registered from the Neighbourhood Watch. I've got two Pakistani flags raised in my front garden, one at each corner and the black flag of ISIS in the centre. The local police, ASIO and other intelligence services are all watching my house 24/7. I've never fel...
