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...

Left the PCYC grounds early and set off to see the two remaining National Parks, we left them till last because they are on the way we are going today. The first was Hawks Head and the first pictures show it is quite spectacular whilst the second Ross Graham was not as impressive but you can get right down t...

We have friends staying with us who have just had 6 weeks in Tasmania. I asked them if they found the CB radio handy. They liked it but found it very frustrating when on at least 4 occasions they wanted to alert a fellow caravan driver that something was wrong with their van, but they found the other perso...

Try bush camping at Lake Keep it $12.00 per night Toilets dump point and rubbish collection no power or water. But you can camp anywhere and the views are superb. Fires are allowed. Good gravel road to get into camp site

Was wondering has anyone had trouble with dvt while travelling. My sister has recently had pulmonary emolism in the lungs caused by deep vein thrombosis, caused by travelling. We are very new and intending to travel but this is a bit frightening. Judy

I was going to put this under techies corner, but decided it was better in general. Had my caravan in for a service and the guy rings me to advise that there were serious cracks in the axles. Instead of telling him to go ahead with repairs, I decided to go have a look. The axles have eight support points th...
