I have my Fathers Mobility Scooter for sale, I am thinking of putting it on E-bay, but thought i would offer it on the forum first. as it is virtually brand new as i bought it for him in late November, and the following week he was admitted to hospital, then to the nursing home, and unfortunately passed awa...

We've had a lovely time at Bribie Island, much of it thanks to Pejay. We enjoyed their company, also Peters excellent cooking, then we formed the formidable "Grey Nomads" team at a Trivia Quiz at the pub near our caravan park . We surprised ourselves by doing very well, and another great e...

The truckies are using them. Taxis are using them. Looks like a good idea. Some of the vision recorded shows narrow misses, and hits, but it establishes who was at fault fairly quickly. Would you install one?

Is it true that caravans and motorhomes are required to enter a weighbridge if it is opened? I was wondering if there are facilities available for people to actually weigh their rigs before setting of in order to comply to all standards. I was not aware that was something that had to be done until readin...

What every PC owner should know.... We all know those cute little computer symbols called 'emoticons,' where: :) means a smile and :( is a frown. Sometimes these are represented by Well, how about some 'BUTT ICONS?' Here goes: (_!_) a regular ass (__!__) a fat ass (!) a tight ass (_*_) a sore as...

After 4 years of use the original foam mattress in our camper trailer is not very comfortable. We aleady have a thick mattress protector and the egg foam layer on it. We are wondering about the low line innerspring mattresses. Anyone have any thoughts??

Have finished my last working day! Now I can really get stuck into getting ready to move on with my travels. Feels strange knowing I don't have to go towork ever again! Just waiting on house to finalise and then it's TIME

Hi, This is my first post, though I have been reading bits for a while. I have been getting my vehicle ready for the great road trip, but will do a few small ones first to get used to it. Bit nervous I guess, it's a big but beautiful country and it's just me and the van. I am inspired by the frien...

Lost my old tackle box on the weekend, and so needed to buy another. While the mind is on fishing gear, I wondered what others carry on the road. I only ever want to "wet a line" occasionally, and want a basic set up only. What do others carry?

Tomorrow the first day of my new adventure .....will be sad to leave my girls all 5 of them and my little man too ....but it time for me now ..see your out there ...

Yep, four nights & two & a half days of country music, Had a ball & enjoyed every minute. Weather was perfect up to the last hour on Sunday arvo, had a bit of a storm, just setteled the dust & then cleared. A record crowed again with every type of camping system here from the swag, the HT Kin...

Just been outside & saw the most spectactular moon rise ever,a full moon rising below a light area of soft cloud. There were rays of moonlight reflecting off the cloud accross the sky. JC.

Today we arrived at Wallace's Landing (near Inkerman, nth Qld). A group of young kids (10-12 age group) were fishing. One caught a barramundi & to our delight gave it to us as they had caught too many over the last few days. We were very thankful. Kids were nice, polite type. Good to see. Well, ...

Is there anyone out there that has one of these caravans or have any knowledge of them, it would be much appreciated, thanks everyone.

This spot is just east of Inkerman, nth Qld. Some gravel road but in good condition. only facility is a toilet but if you like fishing it's a good spot. Good level area to park on

That is, Palm Beach, north of Woodgate, Qld. The company was great, weather was great, but to be honest, I don't think I'll go again next year. Tenting and all that goes with it is just not for me any more. On a positive note, I enjoyed the time with family, and both my grandchildren together for once! My da...

To the person who claims this caravan park, and showgrounds is not a very nice place. I do not agree with you. Yes, there were tents in the grounds when there was no where else for some flood victims to go. I do feel this is a very nice and friendly. Highly recommended with price and friendly. Cheers

Hi everyone, just got back from a week at Wallaga Lake on the south coast, great weather, the lake was just perfect for the kayaks...our only problem was coffee. We have a fabulous coffee maker at home (flat white for him, cappucino for her) but we need something for the van...haven't got room for the f...
