We started with a camper trailer and got away a lot. I was keen to get the time between " Ignition off - cold drink in hand" as short as possible. To that end we bought a 16 ft. Viscount Pop top. An oldie but has been very well cared for. By sheer luck we sold the camper trailer 2 days before we picked...

About 5am this morning our carport security light came on, the sensor faces into the carport so people walking past do not set it off. Looked out a window facing into the carport in time to see someone running out from inside the carport. Rang the council security patrols (they always attend faster)...

Time to move on from Isisford I arrived last Friday and am setting off today Thursday. The heat has driven all but a couple of campers we have had over 40 degrees since Monday and likely to continue until Saturday. When we left the place was deserted and not only there but at Blackall the free camp was dese...

On our last trip coming over from WA we took the long route to get here ,we decided to head to Echuca Vic and planned to stay around there for a few weeks,but after one night jammed into a certain caravan park there I was ready to keep moving on to greener pastures.

Was looking for a way I could carry Jessie around markets etc without having to carry her or drag her around on a lead in the heat and under everyone's feet. Brain snap: I got my granny shopping trolley out. You know the ones old ladies pull along behind them. I cut the top bit off with the pull string, leavi...

My apologies if this has already been raised. I have just read this on facebook. see article here: https://www.facebook.com/Freechoicecamping?hc_location=timeline Amazes me how the caravan parks think they "own" the caravan/camper users and can force all of us into their overpr...

This will be my third night at Slaty Creek just out of Creswick Victoria (Camps 5 - 524). Only intended to stay one night, but such a pretty spot decided to stay a bit longer. Camped next to a lovely shallow stream and there are walking tracks for people who are feeling energetic. 3km of dirt road, but w...

Saw a m/h in the car park in our local town the other day. As I was interested in the m/h I went and had a talk to the owners - which turned out to be only one - a lady. I had a good chat to her - she has been on the road for 16 years around Aust. 3 times and always free camped. First m/h was a hiace but she has upgrad...

I thought that maybe some of you may have copied your old vidios to a CD and was wondering the best way to go about it. I see you can buy a combo machine from LG but thought there may be a cheaper alternative. Thanks, Phil

Well no matter what Dougwe says, this is all boy stuff to me but I am learning. Yesterday I had to actually plug Miss Daisy into the power as I am now almost in an empty house. So all good get out the extension cord, ready to plug into mains power of my house, oops this has a 15amp plug on it and will not fit int...

We have a '11 Jayco 13' StarCraft, do the wheels stud pattern match a Holden, Ford or Toyota? Or anything?

n our way to Canberra to visit floriard and heaps of other venues over the next two weeks but unfortunately one of the things we were most interested in has finished the Turner exhibition but with the 100th anniversary and heaps of other great things to see should be a great couple of weeks. We will be sta...

Has anyone else noticed the sad way the old country towns are Blogged about, so much negativity...I'm not reading anymore. If museums aren't open maybe you could volunteer, maybe their retired people are off Grey Nomading like you. We all know they probably never recovered after the 2 World Wars. T...

What with all the ups and downs thought I would have a check up at the doctors. So trotted off , and armed with forms for blood tests etc, (fasting one) went to the lab next day , Back to the doctors the following week, was a bit intrepid with the forthcoming results. Called into the room , and mind t...

Decided to go to the Artesian Springs in Mitchell after a sign at the free camp Neil Turner Weir Camps6 #659 said that it was free. No such luck it was only $8 for the day but I decided not to participate. Instead of returning to the camp I decided to move on and headed for Roma where I did get phone recept...

Very pleasant, a veritable oasis in a parched surrounding. Much better than I had anticipated. Although next to an Indigenous Cultural Centre that was having a Cultural Day, it was a very pleasant stay, the only downside was heavy traffic on the hiway, Grounds looked great, amenities spotless and j...
