Gday... In 2010 I travelled from Cunnamulla through Eulo, Yowah, Toompine to Quilpie. Although the road was only about single lane it was sealed all the way despite the maps showing a fair bit of unsealed road from south of Toompine to the Yowah/Eulo Road turoff. This year I am going out to Thargominda...

The Red Centre is certainly a fantastic place! The gorges, cliffs, waterholes with only vast stretches of desert in between! The Western MacDonnells are stunning, Uluru so unique it must be seen to be believed, Kjata Tjuta Kings Canyon, Rainbow Valley - it just keeps unfolding. A week in Alice S...

We're wondering what people do for meals while free camping across this big land of ours.

Hello Misde. I was just reading your subject on fitting a solar panel on you motorhome. I was interested to know how you are getting on and managing the power usage. I too tossed up about fixed or portable panels and decided on a fixed roof mounted one. No storage problems, no deciding will I leave it...

Hi Folks, Sorry about what may be a dumb question. My wife and I plan to go from Canberra down to Bega via Cooma using the Manoaro Highway during mid to late July. Could someone please tell me if there is any requirement for snow or tyre chains (I think that's what they call them) on that road during that t...

I have heard that the baths at Burren Junction are in disrepair. Does anyone know anything about this or is it just a nasty rumour?

On todays news was the edifying article that "Bogan" has now made it into the dictionary. Great, if its in the dictionary, I can use it as a scrabble word! What do you think?

Apparently an earthquake shook most of victoria a few minutes ago. Friends on facebook are going crazy talking about it. We didn't feel a thing here. Did anyone here feel anything?

I hope it is just a nasty rumor, but some one must know................haven't found anything elsewhere on the ne...

We'll get like this if we're lucky enough to get that far.

My husband and I are new to this scene. I want to fly into Darwin and hire a camper vehicle and travel around Kakadu National Park. Is it necessary to pre-book sites and can anyone see any problems when we haven't done this before. My husband wants to hire a 4 WD and book into resorts but I don't want to ex...
