Anybody on forum use Google/latitude? It seems to be a good way to keep a track of friends who are travelling, however there does not appear to be any real instructions. If anybody uses it I would appreciate any help in setting it up on my mobile and laptop. Pedro

The Pick This Place thread is going gangbusters, I hadn't been in to the forum for a while and wanted to have a look at the ones I hadn't seen, but can't figure out how to go backwards from the last page. Normally at the bottom of a page you can go backwards or forwards, but nothing appears in this spot on Pick...

Left Burnie and set off to florinhill forum member Bob and wife Rhondas farm at Yolla where we were made most welcome especially the warm fire after the cold weather and in the van. Spent the afternoon talking about the lifestyle on the road and other farm matters we were then invited to dinner and acce...

We registered on "Do Not Call" but it might take 30 days to percolate to the sources of such calls apparently. We have been bombarded with up to 20 calls a day, all from "overseas" and mostly we just answer then cancel the call without speaking to them. But today I waited till a...

Brandt had the bright idea of joining all the batteries together, which meant that we had both caravan batteries and. Oth car batteries connected. Also it was a lovely sunny day, so the solar panels did their bit to help keep the batteries in enough power to get us here. Interesting driving through the...

All of the above were answered today when driving to Strahan several large hills were encountered and after 45kms the van stopped instantly. Strahan is a pi...

Hi guys and gals, just a quick heads up, the lions club is still trying to organise a free camp in Barmera S.A. The local caravan park owner, I have been told, is trying to sway the local business' away from the idea saying lots of negative things. I believe it can only be good for the town as most will spend a...

An older lady was somewhat lonely and decided she needed a pet to keep her company. So, off to the pet shop she went. She searched and searched. None of the pets seemed to catch her interest, except this ugly frog. As she walked by the jar he was in, she looked and he winked at her. He whispered, 'I'M SO LONE...

When I set out in a few months will be our first trip ( my little foxy Lucy) when you go to a caravan park and set up camp when I need to have a shower etc I am really hoping Lucy wont yap while I am not there? I know she will be ok after a while until she gets use to the fact that I will come back to her?

Had a bit of a chuckle at this, "Something just went horribly, horribly, wrong" guess they picked the wrong group to mess with. The bikies certainly had a sense of humour. javascript:mctmp(0);
