Hi All, pretty new to this, have been on here a while but just about to put it to good use (or try) in a couple of weeks, heading on our longest venture ever and was looking for a bit of advice. Has anyone travelled along the road from Bourke to Broken Hill via Waanaring & White Cliffs & Wilcanni...

I guess this is a bit like the "are you a scruncher or a folder" debate, but today I actually read the instructions for the porta loo, and it said 1. With the slide closed, press the bellows and add water to the bowl 2. After using the toilet, open the slide and depress the bellows to flush and cl...

Howdy all, Gee time flys, I have been here in down town Townsville now for over a month, yep, true. During the couple of weeks since the last update I took the tug for a run over to Charters Towers, just down the road really, approximately 130km, so 260 km return trip without turning engine off to te...

It's been a while, but I thought I'd better check in. Work has been quiet due to many factors, and then the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator brought the whole industry to a screaming halt in February, and it's still not running smoothly. So you may notice the absence of oversize loads out there on the h...

Our Priscilla has a CB radio onboard. We're not sure how to use it or whether we really need it. What do other GNs do?

Are there many people out there with with personal plates on your van? To start the ball rolling ours is SORRY We bought a van many years ago with this plate and often say to the kids "sorry we are off again" Dhutime -- Edited by Dhutime on Saturday 10th of M...

It's one thing to see the result of the fires on TV, and another to go to the farms , etc and meet the people. Now the job is finished there, we are going to N/W Qld; to help people eff...

I think it is very wrong that NSW council pounds can ignore that your pet's ownership details may be recorded on a different register other than the NSW companion animal database. They may take the micro...

Yesterday we saw a caravan being towed on the highway with one side of its pop-top unsecured and lifting. They had "CH18/...

She's a 1992 MAN 10180 cylinder diesel mini-coach. She recently (just finished today) got her windows removed to be reclad and have motorhome windows fitted. We think she looks great! The work was done by CP Motorhomes in Ulverstone Tasmania; they were fantastic with us, would recommend them to...

These couple of shots were taken from Cliff Head Camp site yesterday, being right on the Coast, this camp site would not be a very nice place to be when the coming Storm hit.... Sorry the pictures haven't turned out to clear, it's because the light was fading very quickly. K.J.
