We are planning to be in SA for about 8 months this year leaving Melb about the early April. We spent some time in SA a couple of years ago around the Limestone coast area. We free camp mostly but use CP from time to time as needed. Now comes the ask, we realized that we know very little about this state, so if...

I've been getting a few emails telling me we will automatically be changed over to Outlook or we can do it ourselves before. Then got the LifeChoices newsletter with a story about it in there. Clicked on as they said they would explain it all and what you had to do. Well, I didn't have to do anything, after...

No, not mad, although some would say I am already mad. Me, myself and I, oh, and Jenni came with us, have gone from Greens Lake and now in South West Gippsland. We will be here for 3 weeks then heading North to bend some bananas for a while.

If you had the choice over again, would you choose a 3 way or 2 way built in fridge ?. I have the option of both. Is the performance of an absorption (3 way) adequate compared to an electric compressor based fridge ?

I've just bought an RV4 OZTENT to do some camping away form the van & also do some trips into remote northern NSW national parks. I have set up racks on my BT50 to take my kayak & OZTENT. Does anybody use an OZTENT? Any hints or tips would be appreciated. Cheers Pete
