What are some thoughts about taking your dog out to the Uluru area? Has anyone done it? If so any advice on places to stay that are pet friendly that are close to the Rock?

it may not be a stupid question for safety reasons and the law, would you need a fire proof bunker for it & generator in MH

Hi all we have a 12 volt ONLY (no gas) 2 door Vitrifigo DP150 fridge in the van, 7 years old, has always runs in relatively short bursts, ie cycles on for say 3-5 mins and stops.

Down to Cloncurry and across to Tennant Creek for a trip down the middle.From Pt Augusta down the York Peninsular a...

A disgrace to Queensland. Very rough and considering the number of trucks using it I would expect it to be better looked after

Came for just 2 or 3 days but stayed for 7. Caravan Park is one of the most friendly and at the same time professionally run parks we have stayed at ..... amenities are spotless, stacks of room, generators OK provided you consider other campers, home to a bowerbird and his bower and several pademelons w...

True or false?? It has me beat ! A hot aluminium radiator retains a static voltage when hot. Even with ignition off. Test for yourself. Mine did on a Toyota REV 4. I replaced the radiator,the core just fell out into pieces like " brittle" it's about eight years old. The right Toyota long life c...

Travelled the Kidman way from Goolgowi to Bourke. A great road, good surface. My only gripe is the lack of rest areas along the way.
