Hi .. We have been caravanning for around 12yrs & only free camped once. Free camping seems to have grown amazingly in popularity over the years, so it must have something going for it.

Every time we stop at this Rest Area we are treated to a beautiful sunset & sunrise..... -- Edited by Blondie on Thursday 24th of November 2011 10:15:39 AM

It was nice to meet those who were able to get to Fast Eddy's today. There was so much chatter going on that I couldn't stop listening long enough to take centre stage. (Which is probably a good thing) Everyone had something to say, and said it. I think the concensus was that we should do this more often, in...

Wow, what a great doggie friendly area at Ulladulla especially the Dolphin Point Caravan Park. Not flash park but clean and friendly and right on the most beautiful beach with the attached lake Burrill. Really clean toilets and showers (40c for a hot shower) $33 a powered site. Went for gr...

Spoke today (Monday) to WA licensing authorities and found that you can renew van registration up to three months in advance. This could be handy for those who want to go away and will therefore not be home to get the renewal notice in the mail. Depends, of course, on when the rego expires. My own runs o...

In reading all the replies to Cupie's post on free camping there appears to be a lot of people that have the need to return to a caravan park every couple of days for a hot shower. Like us we do not have the luxury of a ensuite like many modern vans/motor homes etc. For the cost of 3/4 nights in a park you could s...

In a crowded city at a busy bus stop, a woman who was waiting for a bus was wearing a tight leather skirt. As the bus stopped and it was her turn to get on, she became aware that her skirt was too tight to allow her leg to come up to the height of the first step of the bus. Slightly embarrassed and with a quick smil...

We did, gave the price we were going to be happy with etc etc. He...
