A sad day because 3 years ago I lost my wife. A happy day because I picked up my van an 18 ft coromal element. Stopped overnight at Benaraby rest area then returned home this morning. Every thing went well and I will post photos when I work out how. Allan

A Doctor recently had a patient "drop" in on him for an unscheduled appointment. "What can I do for you today?" the Doctor asked. The aged Gentleman replied: "Doctor, you must help me. Every time I make love to my wife, my eyes get all bleary, my legs go weak, I can hardly catc...

A friend and I, both towing small caravans, are planning to travel to Burke and Wills dig tree and Innamincka this year. Looking at traveling on tar for the best part of the trip, (because we are a bit scared of dirt) we plan to pass through Moree to Carnarvon Hwy, cross the border at Mungindi to St Geor...

Since leaving Green's Lake, made the huge trip to Echuca (spent three days there camped next to Di & Kev, no foreknowledge on either side, but great to continue the friendship forged at Green's). While checking out the port before a paddle steamer ride, Sandra met an old workmate &family fr...

After leaving Greens stopped at Violet town for smoko, then ton to Pioneer Bridges Rest Stop for the night. On arriving I had no sooner levelled the van when a lovely lady by the name of Sandy asked if I new anything about Generators as hers was new and unused for 6 months. There was also a younger bloke cal...

I am camped up at Dartmoor again for the weekend, having to go back into Mount Gambier tomorrow to sign some papers, and then I have no idea in which direction to head. This really is the first time since I hit the road 3 months ago that I have no direction to go, nowhere that I really have to be, and the decisi...

Doing a quick dash to Melbourne down the HUme for a family emergency and need to overnight maybe Jugiong. Anyone been through lately? We usually o/n at Gunning but if you are not in early its full, and we will be later in the afternoon, so wondering about Jugiong. Wouldn't usually think it would be full b...

Hi, new to forums, so please be patient. We have a dometic fridge RM 2350 that works fine on Gas and 240v, BUT, when travelling looses the cold. We start off with it well chilled, plugged in overnight, put in stuff from the fridge, but it does not stay cold when travelling. Purchased a thermometer that h...

Hi All Myself(Robin) and the boss (Cerita) are about to start on the trip of a lifetime. We sold our house a few months ago and have been parked on the daughters driveway while I finish off a few "bits"" on the bus. We have a 1985 volvo B10M 40foot country school bus which over the last 4 ye...

I'm having a hard time deciding what tent to buy and realised one of my preferred options may be too difficult to erect by myself. I've been looking at the OZtrail 10x8 Canvas Cabin (47kg) The instructions say to have a friend help raise each side of the tent. I was wondering if anyone has assembled one so...

Brilliant in its simplicity ... A. Back off and let those men who want to marry men, marry men. B. Allow those women who want to marry women, marry women. C. In three generations, there will be no Greens. - I love it when a plan comes together so simply.
