Ladies and Gents, does anyone have any top tips for keeping a GPS fixed to the windscreen??? We have a Garmin Nuvi (great GPS) and a Mercedes Sprinter MH. Can I keep the GPS fixed to the windscreen?

Given that the 9Kg bottle re-fills are a ripoff can you mount a 45 Kg bottle on a van? I just paid $100 for a re-fill on the bottle here @ home - much more economical.

The solos section was started for solos, as Cindy says in her introduction to the solos section Are you a solo traveler or just thinking about setting off on the adventure of a lifetime on your own?

G'day fellow GN's. We are about to start our next leg of the Big Lap from Tamworth across the West to Broken Hill and was wondering if any of you had any top tips for free camps along the way? We are driving a Sprinter Jabiru and are self contained but SWMBO (She who must be obeyed) still likes to have a toilet...

so much for all the knockers of Tassie and the free camping disappearing, this is a must read. On top of this new location you have free camping on the river bank with toilets about 2 km away. Then head to the iconic Stanley and you will find free camping along the beach front (about 1km from a c/p) and free c...
