I was very disappointed at one van that had pulled up next to a public picnic table and put there awning out over the top of it so no one else can use it t...

A big step forward this week - I'll be taking the Hino down to Brisbane for its conversion to a motorhome. Should take 4-6 weeks, but I'll still have to wait a while until I reach the magic age in September before walking through the playground's gate. Will have to keep looking through the fence palings u...

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...

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...
