At first when I read this news item I was horrified... shooting in National Parks? Never! But then think of the feral animals that are not being eradicated, everywhere you go you see evidence of rabbits, wild pigs, and feral cats and dogs in NP's. Shooters might be able to make a difference there. But th...

Just looking for some ideas. I have aJayce MH with 2x150watt solar panels, 2x100A/Hr deep cycle batteries. I have a 3000w inverter laying around and was thinking of installing it in the MH question is would it run the A/C and a guess at how long it would take to flatten the batteries?

Thanks for all the advice on looking after ourselves in King's Canyon. We stopped 3 nights and did the rim walk. Only 1 silly idiot (oriental) who kept going near the edge but otherwise it was superb. The entertainment at the Kings Canyon resort was brilliant and not to be missed. Also don't miss a t...

Number 239 in Camps 6. The Lynd Junction. I wouldn't recommend this one folks. The friends I was travelling with had rung to book in, and was told 'no need to book, there's plenty of room'. When we got there, there were only two powered sights left. It was a small-ish fenced area at the back of the roadhous...

Hi All, During my about 2 B travels, sometimes I will be staying in caravan parks. Have emailed two-of requesting information, now that was five days ago and nothing? Should I not have mentioned Grey Nomad or height and width of me-self; what did do wrong? Is this normal? NO, not the height and width.. ...

Hi Everyone. We (Tony and me - Sue) are about to hit the road out of town (in this case, the Gold Coast) for parts north, then maybe west, but sometime or another south...you get the drift. Thing is, we still haven't got the van. Heaps of looking - maybe too much. But we do want off road capabilities because...

I am a retired Australian and for years dreamed of having a canal barge in France. I got my dream but because it is over 20 metres long I must have at least 2 people on board. I have tried everywhere to get people to travel with me without success. Hopefully I won't have put it on the market. Want a cheap and l...

I'd planned to go to the show today, but as time got away from me, I drove instead of taking the train. Big mistake! Firstly, I've lived here all my life, and know how to get to the RNA showgrounds, or at least I thought I knew. Somewhere after turning into Turbot Street, I got lost! Me? Getting lost going t...

For some time I have wanted to visit Cameron Corner but do not have a suitable vehicle. As a pensioner with those four free NSW Rail passes, I have decided to do one of those Countrylink Round the Corner to Back of oBourke tours. As I am currently staying in Coffs Harbour -it will be a lot of train travel...

I was recently chatting with a park manager and she dropped into the conversation that the three (3) caravan parks in Roma Qld are all owned by the same people! Just 3 different managers. So they all charge the same price and when they are all full - the showground gets the overflow and the fees there are a...

Hi all. I'm grey and a nomad but am nowhere near pension age yet so to fund my travels I will have to work as I go. I've been in QLD about 6 weeks now, having jumped the ditch from NZ and done only one week of work so far, picking capsicums in Bowen at $1 a bucket. I made about $60 an 8 hour day, which was more than m...
