This Easter weekend we went to the West Beach Caravan Park Adelaide to visit family. We were a bit concerned from what we heard & read about the $5.00 visitors fee. I can say for sure we were not approached for the fee even though they had a security guard at the gate. I think he was there to stop people f...

We've had a lot of correspondence recently from aspiring travellers who are in a quandry over whether to sell their properties before they go or not. Has anyone out there been in a similar situation? If so, any feedback about how you've felt about it since then or what factors made you sel...

Just saw a headline in a WA newspaper describing a 66 year old driver as "elderly". Wot? I'm 68 and I certainly don't think of myself as elderly.
