I want to start my travelling and was wondering if anyone would like to share their thoughts or experiences on earning an income whilst doing so. I am not eligible for the pension for 19 years yet, but am stuck in a job I hate. I don't own my home, it's a rental, so am happy to sell everything I own (except my v...

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

Facinating place to call into.It is not one of those made up museum places where all the stuff is brought in from all over the distric, this plac...

G'day Due to recent storms we suffered damage to our awning which needs replacing. Our current omnistor awning is 4.5 mt wide and is roof mounted on a Geist Van. I was considering replacing it with one that was more readily available in Australia. Any Help would be appreciated. We are currently at Ger...

Anybody travelling across the Nullarbor mid March. If so could meet up around the campfire with a few reds

Our van came with a 40lt bar fridge and we can squeeze in a Vitrifrigo C130L fridge only but where to put the compressor is the problem. If you own one, where did you put your compressor? Our alternative is a Waeco 1080. I am concerned that even though it is double the size of what we currently have, things...

This company specializes in importing these from overseas, I assume Japan by the small kms (for the year) on them. Most of them seem to be 1998 models, although they have plenty of extras. They sound like they would be ideal for use as a very small campervan if you take the seats out. Anyone have any know...

If you are a non smoker then pass that truck in front of you or pull over. Something I have guessed for years.... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-18415532

With a lot of migration heading to the top end for the winter , just thought i would let you know a top spot up that way that is not visited by a lot of people is Douglas Hot Springs NT. Dosn't have the big crouds like Mataranka Springs . It is all natural in it's setting. There is a camp ground there, but do not e...

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...
