It looks like to me, that I will have to upgrade the rear leaf springs as they are too soft to handle the constant load(fridges, batteries, genny etc) of apprx 350kgs. I fitted some Ironman Loadplus springs, and they did as...

Left Lagoons Beach early and made Bicheno the first stop, water was needed and groceries from IGA. Had a look at the blowhole but the sea was calm and had only small blows. Lovely area around the blowhole with rocks similar to the Bay of Fires with their red tones. All up a short trip of no more than 70kms. H...

It seems absolutely ages since I was able to log onto the forum. I have felt like I've been missing my 'family' of friends even though I had my blood family with me. We have done the Christmas trek - 9 hours north and 9 hours back again and then we were invaded by the family who all love being together 'at our h...

Gday... A few of the great places I have been lucky enough to visit during 2012. Hopefully 2013 will provide even more opportunities. Cheers - John

Hi all we are travelling to Tasmania in January 2013 and read that fuel containers need to be empty of fuel and filled with water. So this poses a couple of questions... Can you refill the containers unleaded and diesel with fuel again? and what to do about generators. Maybe easier to buy new containers...
