Heading to mays bend tomorrow has anyone been there and what are the road conditions like

What an amazing place! It's an old gold mining town. Fascinating place with a reasonable free camp that comes complete with lots of parrots, crimson rosellas and lots of other (less spectacular) birds. Some great walks to do to - though they are very hilly. It's deep in a valley so phones and inter...

Well, as mentioned before it was great, but ventured on to Twin Riverts, later Canargo (should have blinked) across the flooded rice pastures (Evaporation rate must be extreme), Jerilderie and back down to Berrigan for a few nights. Did meet up again with Scotty & Rufus, great for a tease. Berr...

Currently staying at Nimbin Showgrounds $15 per night with power. Not in the camps book as yet. I think that visiting Nimbin should be on every bodies must do list. It is different from anywhere else. If here must see the candle factory. Regards Rastas

We have been stopped over at the Berry showgrounds, just North of Nowra in NSW for 5 days. Pretty little town and the showgrounds are just great. Green grass everywhere, it's been awhile since we stepped out of the van onto something other than stones, etc. Basic amenities but it's all you need. We were...

Well actually at Killarney Beach Camping Reserve CAW 6 #583, just a little north of Port Fairy. This is a pretty good camp for $20 per night... power, showers, toilets, free washing machine. The Amenities aren't as clean as they could be, but as long as you take the usual precautions...thongs in the s...

I am now officially out of the work force and on the Governments books, and My wife finishes up next wednesday also, so to celebrate we are off to Pottsville NSW for the week in the van. Fishing and reading are the only things on the agenda, oh and relaxing by the water.

Left Biggy this morning for a slow relaxing drive 200 ks south to Kumbia. Stopped at Wondai at the park there for lunch. Not sure if it was Apex or Lions. They have a food van there. Had a huge salad sandwich and iced coffee. Once again a nice spot here, had Happy Hour with 3 couples, everyone is so friendly o...

G'day all I have fitted a 3rd tank to my Avan for drinking I was wondering how to remove the plastic taste from my new water tank. We have flushed it out 5 times , put vanilla flavouring in it but still the horrid plastic taste remains. Any suggestions ?? The other 2 tanks are for creek-dam water for wash...

Watching on 4cnrs about how we are becoming resistance to them with the use of antibiotics......sad for people who need antibiotics a lot.

We have been travelling for 18 months now and our two Malshis are enjoying the lifestyle as much as us!! Every time we arrive in a new place they have lots of exciting aromas to investigate and new friendships to forge, however, they have enjoyed making firm friends with GNs with whom we have repeated cr...

My kids are great with it but my friend is of the mindset that you don't sell your asset! What say you all? My partner has bowel cancer and having chemo and w...
