There's one thing that really gets up my nose, that is, when you get the miserable Pension and head off to the local Super Market, You buy what stores you can afford then hand over 90% of your Pension to a young Chick behind the counter, She takes all the money for the small bag of stores you have just slippe...

We've looked at Travellerspoint, but that isn't quite right. Anyone use this kind of thing, and have any recommenda...

In his wonderful book Forgotten English, Jeffrey Kacirk takes a closer look at the origins and histories of these language relics. Here are a few of our favorite w...

Hi there, really value feedback on what route/journey/distance you would choose to travel if you had a 3 month timeframe. We are planning leaving from NSW in April 2015 but don't want our trip to be rushed by trying to fit too much in. We do not have an off-road setup but caravan equipped for free campin...

Paddy says to Mick "I found this pen. Is it yours?" Mick replies "Don't know, give it here." He then tries it and says, "Yes it is" Paddy asks "How do you know?" Mick replies, "That's my handwriting"

Hi all, We're having a great time. The cruise across the Pacific was so relaxing. The helicopter ride we did on Kauai was fantastic. That should be put on everyone's bucket list. The scenery is out of this world. We have spent the last 2 weeks in Oregon with friends. Keith has been fishing twice &a...

When I was six months pregnant with my third child, my three year old came into the room when I was just getting ready to get into the shower. She said, 'Mummy, you are getting fat!' I replied, 'Yes, honey, remember Mummy has a baby growing in her tummy.' 'I know,' she replied, but what's growing in your bu...

Gday... I read an article recently about the Lightning Ridge and Grawin Opal fields. The author apparently had stayed at the free caravan camping area behind the Glengarry Hilton at Grawin. I spent a day at and around Grawin back in 2010 and never noticed a free camp. Has anyone stayed there? How much r...

Pretty good campsite on the Cooper Creek about 2kms out of town. Heaps of room, shade if you want it. No facilities. Quite a lot of water in the creek.

Having just viewed the Jayco" Powering your van" clip on YouTube, they say to have your battery switch turned ON even when you are connected to the mains. Is that correct as I was under the impression that you only had batteries on when not using mains power. I don't want to overcharge the bat...

Heading north for the winter and wondering how many red hatters are doing the same. Hope to visit chapters along the way, it's always such fun to share stories. MOTH is happy to amuse himself while I'm off in my red hat - in fact, I think he enjoys the peace and quiet..............

We think our back window has a small leak as the ledge above our bed has a small pool of water when it rains. To fix this I tried to run a bead of silicon as per normal, but the bead was to big and messy so I removed it all. To solve, we had a syringe that we used for vetenairy purposes. Much smaller hole for the sil...
