Gday... I am currently camped at Ariah Park van park. At 5.30pm tonight a huge thunderstorm hit here - heaps lightning and thunder. Thankfully there was no wind, but there was a heavy hailstorm for about 10mins. The hail was only about the size of a $1 coin, but they have peppered my awning with holes . I...

For those of us who have travelled the Oodnadatta Track and visited the Pink Roadhouse. we should all remember, just how much Adam Plate had added to the area.

G'day all, we have just returned from an 8 week trip up to FNQ and got as far as Culcairn on the return run, and had some problems with the awning on the Heritage. We went into Jayco at Albury on the off chance they might have the time to fix it. They did fix it, found a couple of other little things and fixed the...

But green groups warn allowing private investors into national parks could allow developers to destroy some of the state's most precious nat...

I tow my 19' Crusader van with my Hilux and couldn't be happier. I wanted a semi-offroad van so I had it built from the ground up.

Travelled the 221km between Normanton and Burketown today, much of it was on unsealed roads. Had a layer of red dust inside the van. It appears to have come in through the grill in the bottom of the door. The grill that is there to let any stray gasses escape. I am thinking of taping it up while we are travel...

Caravan Park, owners and managers take notice. I may well be talking to deaf ears but here is my 10 cents worth anyway. Too often now my wife and I, as travelling Grey Nomads, caravan in tow, are confronted by caravan parks that have changed since our last visit or have obvioulsy changed recently...I do...
