After joining Dougwe Inc. and spending much time and effort in looking for a van to replace my Avan Cruiseliner I ordered a Chief Arrow 21.6 van yesterday. Not having twins I decided to go with a Queen size bed to impress any backpackers or attractive GN's. Will be parking it in the exclusive waterfront...

Hi Everyone, We are 'in talks' with some friends of ours about 'doing' the longest shortcut, but only from Winton Qld to Laverton WA in about 18 months time.

Goldetectornomad's gold nugget arrived yesterday when I was in Port Macquarie for the CT scan of my jaw. Goldie says it's lucky because he found it next to the skin of a big brown snake... only he didn't realize it was only the skin at first, and when he saw it after digging for the nugget, he skyrocketed a...

Unreal caravan park hidden in the bush south of Manjamup. Nice little town with a great tavern supplying sensibly priced meals. Powered site, town water, great amenities $25/night. Will spend at least a couple of nights here as a base while we check out Pemberton, Windy Harbour, etc. Resident m...

This is pretty old and I don't know how true it is but its good for a laugh:

Hi there to all the travellers Out there. We had the misfortune to have our caravan rear ended in Halls creek. We are returning to the Gold Coast and wish to gave the van repaired. Does anyone have any recommendations for a good repairer on the gold coast. Thanks

has any one had any experience with the new VAST TY combo ? The idea sounds all right but it is still unproven, it apparently has one controller , is 12 volt . I have a vast set top box now but a person could almost strangle himself on the wires . All in one would make things so much easy.

Bring on Dec, JC.

Our gas cooktop has 1 large burner and 2 smaller ones. The larger one frequently burns with a yellow oxidising flame. This annoys the chief cook as soot accumulates on the bottom of the utensil being used. Either I didn't take enough notice in science class or I am too old to remember (probably both), bu...
