This may be good news to Crusing Granny if she's looking for road escort work, but a warning to others! Piece in The Australian today about the number of huge loads being trucked along roads in the north of WA becos of the mining boom. One example they gave was that there was probably going to be at least...

Does anyone know if there is anywhere to stay in Cooran, Qld.

Just been speaking to some Motor homers who have just returned from Tassie and they were not happy at paying $18 for a bit of dirt with no facilities at all.

This may have been discussed previously, but as I am a newbie, I've missed it. I have a van that came with a fire extinguisher and I am not sure how to tell if it is good or not. I wonder if I should just buy a new one to be sure. Still finding my way round the site so if I put things in the wrong place plea...

Hylda just got in touch with AAMI (who she has used for years) to get comprehensive insurance for her little 2000 Toyota Corolla & ended up paying a massive $1242 for the year. When I found out it sent me into shock. Even my Landcruiser is way below that figure. Since we got back to Grafton &, up un...

Drove through the morning towards Coral Bay with a view to staying at 9 mile beach at the Cardabia Homestead, this was listed in a camping book that Steven had previously bought. We were unable to find the hom...

The question came up as to what a solo traveller does when they reach the end of their travelling life and need to settle somewhere?

We got lucky! Our neighbors called, and they are Rocket and Strop! We had a great afternoon as always with fello...
