We are currently staying in a caravan park in Airlie Beach. Nice enough caravan park, I guess... But bloody hell...packed in like sardines in a can! We have been travelling a while now and LOVE free camping! Can't understand why anyone would want to stay in a caravan park! we stay in them when working...

I a trying to find a post that I made some time ago. I have gone to my profile and selected member posts. I can have the last page or the first page BUT the ones in between have eluded me... What am I missing here? Aussie Paul.

Gday... There was a post earlier complaining about increased data usage without knowing why. One suggestion was that Facebook were now 'auto-downloading' and 'auto-playing' videos when you load FB - or scroll past a video. I just came across this and have made the setting change. I hope it works and...

A few minutes before the church service started, the congregation was sitting in their pews and talking. Suddenly, Satan appeared at the front of the church. Everyone started screaming and running for the front entrance, trampling each other in a frantic effort to get away from evil incarnate....

Hi all Have been learning lots from all the questions posted on here - we are first timers so still lots to learn. Was wondering if you can catch your grey water and recycle it to fill the water tank to flush the toilet?

We have a Lotus Trooper with 4 water tanks - 2x60 & 2x90 litres. Can anyone give us some advice as to the ability to convert one of the water tanks to a grey water tank?

I am interested in buying an aqua roll. Does anyone know if/where to buy in Australia. Van water storage is a big additional weight to drag around when free or low cost camping. Many vans can carry up to half a tonne of water which is weight I would prefer not to carry other than need the water. I usually car...

We are at the Temple Bar Caravan Park. Anyone up for a cuppa or a few reds? Fred & Michelle

In a convent in Ireland , the 98-year-old Mother Superior lay dying. The nuns gathered around her bed trying to make her last journey comfortable. They tried giving her warm milk to drink but she refused it. One of the nuns took the glass back to the kitchen. Then, remembering a bottle of Irish Whiskey t...

Dear Simon, I hope you can help me here. The other day, I set off for work leaving my husband in the house watching the TV as usual. I hadn't driven more than a mile down the road when the engine conked out and the car shuddered to a halt. I walked back home to get my husband's help. When I got home I couldn't bel...

Paddy was driving down the street in a sweat because he had an important meeting and couldn't find a parking place. Looking up to heaven he said, "Lord take pity on me. If you find me a parking place I will go to Mass every Sunday for the rest of me life and give up me Irish Whiskey!" Miraculously...

Gday... 1836 - The first formal European settlement in South Australia is established on Kangaroo Island. Kangaroo Island is a protected and unspoilt island off the coast of South Australia. Australia's third-largest island after Tasmania and Melville Islands, it is 112 km southw...

Being on my first big trip I would be interested to hear how most people 'afford' their long stays on the road when it comes to sites. Most free sites are only for 24-48hrs and then you have to move on which is inconvenient. The other option is caravan Parks at $28 ish and up. These appear the only two option...

We have a dead rat or rats in our ceiling space. I think there are two as one rotten smell started to wane and the smell came back stronger. We live in an old area where there is a lot of pulling down old houses/sheds etc to build new ones. Each year I stick my head up in the manhole and throw some rat baits ar...

I went to our quack the other day, my complaint was that I was loosing the feeling in my legs, they were as cold as charity from the knee down, the result of a heap of tests is that I have lost 2/3's of the blood circulation to both legs. this was blamed directly to my smoking over the last 50 years. I now have to...

We have been in the van now for over three years, and decided (finally) that we should not put off lubricating our aerial. We got no instructions with the van on how to do this, but found this on uTube. Instructions made easy, and know we know what to do next time - and wont put it off for another three year...
