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 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...

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?

My first call was Murray Falls but just had a look round the info about that is under that heading on the blog.
