We've just moved into a unit in Ballarat and were wondering if anyone knew of any storage areas nearby for our van. We don't mind if it's out of town a bit. We did ring Storage King but they want $100 per month and another mob want $25 per week or part thereof. This seems a bit steep, but wondered if this is th...

Hi All Can anyone tell us what the road is like towing a van between Bright and Omeo please? We have a Avan Cruise Liner. Any advice would be appreciated as we haven't travelled this area before.

I've been baking bread successfully and happily for more years than I care to recall. But recently I decided to get into this sourdough lark. Did all the research, bought the gear, including starters (which worked very well indeed), but I find the actual breadmaking a pain in the proverbial. Does the...

Hi, Miss Rose here, glad I found this forum, have had a glance and really enjoyed the posts and information so far

I love traveling, have been around Australia as a solo female, with my dog in 2005/06. Met so many wonderful people along the way. I traveled in a car and camper trailer to Queensland, the...

I posted last year re doing this and have followed the advice given . i.e heavy duty trans cooler. heavy duty coil springs and gas strut shockers. It raised the car a few inches but when I hitched my van to it today it is way too low. Been to weighbridge weight was just over and I can get rid of some paylo...

We have just pulled back into Latrobe after spending a lovely week at Quamby Corner, Golden Valley via Deloraine not much in the way of service so thus the lat...

Having just purchased a van, I find that the 240v light does not work. I checked the light out with a couple of light bulbs that are OK and it would not come on. I suspect the switch. This is where the problem is. The switch is a push button switch similar to what you get on some older bed/desk lamps. It is a dou...

Why do we reckon air travel is expensive. https://www.youtube.com/embed/c1Q1qzfL9rE It is only a 3 minute clip, very eye opening.

I've been undecided about posting this link to a video I made of finally getting PJ together. I made it mainly for my mate Stan as a keepsake and something to show his grandkids. The camper was parked at the side of the garage for many months waiting for a suitable flat tray ute, and ended up being hemmed in...

We wanted to carry too much gear to meet the BT-50 GVM limit so rather than risk the wrath of the scalies in various states we've upgraded to an Isuzu 200 tray back. Plenty of room & capacity for us now. Darrell & Sandra

Hello all - what is your thought on the brumby cull in Mt. Kosciusko National Park? Personally I think the brumbies in the Snowies are a part of our history and if the cull goes anything like the one in the Guy Fawkes Nationals Park, someone should be answerable - it was an absolute disgrace.
