My sister & Brother-in-law have been anchored on the Clarence River here in Grafton since Xmas and have been now caught in the floods so I have had a busy day starting at 5am with a phone call from the SES to say they rescued them from their 40 foot catamaran or better known to them as 'their home'.and c...

Wondering if someone can tell me if the road is bitumen from Sandstone to Meekatharra? I know it is if you go via Mt Magnet but not sure if you take the direct route. I've been told all the rest from Kalgoorlie to Meekatharra is bitumen.

I'm guessing we've been pretty "lucky" up to this point, as it seems we've managed, (without r...

hi all we have just returned from a cruise this morning and had a great time I might add ,but we are so glad to be back in our van and on the road again. we were sitting at the breakfast table on the cruise ship and started chatting to the other guests at the table and all were nomads but one lady in particular to...

travling on dirt roads....? How does our van go ....And what do you do to prepare/ ?

So... Was reading the thread about high charges in some camp grounds and got me thinking... ( I know, it hurts... I try not to do it too often!)

Anyway, seems a lot are free camping ( ideally, that is what we wish to do) so that will save on camp site fees. I also realise the less you travel around...
