Hi all, can anyone help me, I'm to be visiting Cairns during August but have to fly back to Brisbane for the last week. Have been trying to book into a tourist park but they are either full, don't take bookings or way too expensive. Would anyone have room in their yard for my 7 meter Hino Rainbow and I will...

Weather was fog, heavy mist, rain, sunny spells amongst the thick cloud base. Traffic was almost non existant. Will probably have a light day tomorrow and only go as f...

Hey, how many of you use coin operated laundromats to do your washing? And when there aren't any around what do you do? I've found there are fewer and fewer laundromats to be found and have resorted to doing mine in a bucket with a plunger, but wringing the cloths out is really hard work. I'm thinking of...

THIS IS A JOKE Went into a local food shop the other day. After loading up the conveyor and the lady at the checkout scanning all the goodies I bought, she then said, in a rather dominating tone "STRIP FACING ME"!! Now I know there are a lot of securtiy issues these day's but I thought this is t...

What is the closest freecamp to Shepparton? The camps book doesnt show one in close proximity to the town. I thought there was one somewhere near that lake with the info centre.

Could anyone advise us about using the camp oven on a gas burner. Does food burn easily or stick to the bottom. So many places where fires aren't allowed now, but we really love the camp oven. Cheers to all Steve & Suzette

A man had two of the best tickets for the opening State of Origin match. As he sits down, another man comes along and asks if anyone is sitting in the seat next to him.. "No," he says, "the seat is empty." "This is incredible..!" said the man, "Who in their right m...

Quite some time ago these were being made (under licence from the US I think) or assembled and sold by Kimberley Campers at Ballina, NSW. There are a number of these earlier models around in Oz. I have noticed a few late models for sale recently (see this ad) and I was wondering if they had a new supplier/...

The locals up this way are never in a hurry...a good way to be I guess but when you have paying costumers to cross the Jardine River on the ferry at $145 for about a 3 minute trip and 15 vehicles lined up to be loaded on when the time says 8am until 5pm one would think that times does matter, the 'local' arrived...

We have had the dealer replace the leaking water tank on our new Coromal 450 transforma after only 500 kms on sealed roads. Now we find that the cap on the water tank will not stay locked. A call to the dealer and was told that this is a fault of that particular brand of tank. Was told that as there is no defini...

We, Mel and I, set off from St Lawrence early and arrived at Carmila Beach by mid morning only around 75kms trip. The warning in the Camps6 #88 about loose sand was accurate, we pulled into the first sign that nominated rubbish bins and found good spots with sun and level. We went for a walk on the beach and...

Hi ... A friend was preparing his vehicle in readiness for hooking up a new caravan. Much to his horror he found cracks on both chassis rails of his Navara King Cab Ute. I haven't had a look at it yet so am just going on his verbal descriptions of the issue. I see lots of newish Utes pulling vans and wonder h...
