Just got a newsletter from Avida, the manufacturer of Australian Winnebago MHs. Seems that they have launched into the caravan market with an extensive range of offerings. Should be interesting to see their product. http://www.avidarv.com.au/caravans?eid=48620 The market is getting rath...

At 70, I'm still travelling, and wish to buy a postie bike to carry on the back of my Mazda T 3500. At present I am staying the tiny town of Coolah, which is about 140 K's north east of Dubbo, and about 80 K's south east of Coonabarrabran. Would like it to be in reasonably good condition, but not necessarily r...

G'day gas people. I bought a new gas regulator and hose but I need to get the old one off first. I've tried undoing the nuts with a pair of spanners but I can't shift them. Any suggestions or tips? I'm not sure about which way the threads go either. They appear to have been there a helluva long time.

We did a visit to this place today, no entry charge for just doing the walk around if buying something at the café, otherwise $4 each (does not include the mini golf) see; http://www.botanicgolf.com.au/ Nice sunny day, beautiful gardens and waterfalls/ponds etc, reminded me a bit of the botanical...

Travelling around this great land of ours is one step closer now with the house just put on the market and our decision on a rig almost made. Should be putting in our order within the next few weeks. All very exciting!!

Probably should have posted this here last night, instead of in the General Forum, but better late than never. Kogan is selling one right now, for $39.00, Freight Free. Only catch is, delivery starts Nov.14th. http://www.kogan.com/au/buy/hd-dash-cam-video-recorder/?utm_medium=email&...

Is this where Wombat's hiding???

To get a camp fire going quickly I use cotton wool balls with vaseline. Just rub petrolium jelly into cotton wool balls. Put them into a zip bag or storage container for future use. Really gets the fire started.

A very interesting 3 days it was. Yesterday a family came on for an overnight stay. They were in the biggest holiday bus I'd ever seen. It was an old Adelaide Transit bus. Twice as long with the concertina middle.I've got photos but can't upload them till I get home. Dad and a tribe of snotty nosed kids. Mu...

BREAKING NEWS!!! Kevin RUDD will NOT be running For election in 2013 due to the Brain tumor found during his recent Colonoscopy.

...and scares the crap out of everyone.

Here I am again. Now it's time to tell you a bit about my retirement plan. I'm 48 now and become 49 this year. The plan is, to hand in my leaving notification on my 58th birthday. So I have a few years to go to make up something. First idea was to buy a houseboat in 3-4 years, live in a marina, and save enough mone...

I have posted this pic before, but as we now have many new members I am doing it again to show where the old Tojo has been over the years. Much of the eastern half of the country has been done many times. Now we will do it again at a more casual rate. JC.

JC's Caravan Repairs, in Elder Street, Alice Springs - great service - our water pump in the MH died over a weekend - Monday morning rang this place, took it around, new updated pump fitted, and on our way within an hour!!! Can't ask for better than that.

I have arrived in Barmera this afternoon. What a wonderful drive up from Adelaide via Waikerie. The River Murray is certainly majestic and as I have never been up this way before I have been playing tourist a little. So much to see and do I think that one could spend some time around this area with heaps of...

Greetings all. Have sought advice from family, colleagues, financial advisers etc. Thought we would ask the question of people with experience. Want to head off in 6 months, working around this great country for a couple of years, if not longer - both in mid 50's and fit - both no longer happy in our jo...
