Thats what a friend has told me he spent the night at Banka Banka we gave it a miss this time but our friends who just arrived here in Darwin said you have to pay to wash the car or van and the price has gone up, it was a place we all stopped at to fill out tanks, wash the car and the van because the water was good. Bu...

Vic suggested that I make a list of some of the highlights of the trip but at the time had just completed the circumnavigation and didnt feel like preparing any posts for a few days. Now after settling down I can see the merit in the suggestion and have given thought to it. First I have prepared a list chr...

Some little time ago we saw on TV where truckies were installing cameras that shows 'idiot' drivers that cause alsorts of problems for other folk on the roads - well, yesterday on our way up the north coast of NSW, we had one such P-plate driver that overtook us with another vehicle coming in the opposit...

Stopped in at Pussy Cat Flats at the Pine Creek Turf Club NT for a few days last week & really enjoyed ourselves, $8.50 pp-pn powered site. It was well kept & clean with level turf sites. There is only one meeting annually but I think they only accommodate vans in the dry season. The manager, Renn...

Met the owners of this Coaster in Rocky today. They're on their way to your neck of the woods Bill. Weren't sure how a Coaster would go on the Island, so I suggested they get in touch with you on the Forum . Hope you don't mind. In case they just arrive without contacting you, here are a few Pics of the Coast...

Am I misssing something here. I can't seem to get my Jayco Sterling to run on 240v. Is there an overload switch somewhere that I can't find? .....it's not the earth leakage switch, I've checked that. Where do I look?

1960 Hits RenamedSome of the artists of the 60's are revising their hits with new lyrics to accommodate aging baby boomers who can remember doing the "Limbo" as if it were yesterday. They include: Bobby Darin --- Splish, Splash, I Was Havin' A Flash Herman's Hermits --...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BETH...Have a great day!!! May all of your wishes come true.

I am just wondering how hard is it to raise the roof on a Jayco Penguin (I think that is the one with no ends sticking out?). Also does the winder mechanism ever give trouble and if it does can you still raise the roof by another method??? Thanks

Hi I have installed a Tekonsha P3 brake controller, and I notice that it appears to be ' on ' all the time. Is this normal? I considered putting a switch in the negative line, but wanted to check first. There is no van connected at this time, just getting ready. I replaced the Haynam Reece controller wit...

I have a friend who needs to eat Gluten Free food. During experiments with various recipes we came across Buckwheat flour. Even if you are not into gluten free food try making pancakes with Buckwheat Flour. Use your favourite recipe and enjoy a nice change.

Hi everyone, I have been able to make another trip to one of my favourite destinations. Singapore at present is hotter than usual (36c) but what a magical country it is. I have been coming here off and on for the past 40+ years and the development of the island state has been quite remarkable. For a nation...

After calling in to Keith and Maggies (a fantastic stop over) I now find that because of Keith letting me have first look at his delivered caravan magazine, I need a Happy Wanderer TV Tuning gizzmo. As I am sure that a few members afre well aware, the tuning of the TV often results in an argument. You know...

My 'little' brother is turning 50 on Monday. It feels a bit weird to me particularly because he was born on my 8th birthday. Our grandfather came up from Victoria to visit, which is the only time I ever remember seeing him. Mum had made my birthday cake, but hadn't yet iced it when she had to go to hospital....

In Darwin at Free Spirit Resort. I cannot praise the NT National Park Service highly enough, their Parks are incredible, their employees very helpful, their campsites affordable - Well Done! Sorry to hear that the gov't is considering cutting the tourism budget, I hope it doesn't apply to the Par...

All suggestions appreciated. While on here would like to recommend Behungra dam (about 20klms north of Jun...
