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...

Travelling from East to West where is the best place to leave your caravan and then to go and travel the Great Ocean Road for the day or maybe overnight in a hotel/motel if necessary? Returning then to the caravan and then continue westwards. Any suggestions would be appreciated. CJ

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...

Hi gang just another quick update from Tassie, we have just under a week to go for our southern adventure before heading off back to the mainland. 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.

Just updated the the tug to a 2010 Pajero Platinum, so now have to save like mad before we can get away in it!!! Not too worried as we are both firm believers in the saying, "You can't take it with you". So, we might just make it to Greens Lake not being far from Melbourne, in the near future! I am to...

Has anyone stayed at the Harvey Caravan Park recently and if so could you let us know if it was an OK park as we are thinking of a couple of weeks there in April. Geoff and Bev

A policeman was rushed to the hospital with an inflamed appendix. The doctors operated and advised him that all was well; however, the policeman kept feeling something pulling at his pubic hairs . He was worried that it might be something the doctors hadn't told him about it. He finally had enough e...

A man and his wife moved back home to Saskatchewan, from Vancouver. The wife had a wooden leg and to insure it in BC (British Columbia) was $2000.00 a year! When they arrived in Saskatchewan, they went to an Insurance agency to see how much it would cost to insure the wooden leg. The agent looked it up on t...

Hi all. Just about to get serious so starting to get info on stuff we want to have. Have heard a couple of different thing s about front load washing machines so thought I would throw it out there for a general discussion. Any thoughts , comments, Pros and cons, would be appreciated.

I am converting part of the rear of my Hyundai van for camping, and needed some bolts to fittings in the back. I wanted to get some bolts to match the holes left in the back of the van when I sold the seats, the person who bought the seats wanted the bolts and I had to hand them over there and then and had no idea...
