Hi all I just joined today and it has been great reading all the posts and so encouraging - what a great community. I will probably be starting off next year maybe around March or so depending on a lot of factors out of my control. I will be solo travelling with 3 dogs, two of them quite elderly (a Belgian sh...

Gday... I am currently in Barcaldine, staying at the Homestead Van Park in Box Street. A pretty good place, $22.50/night - free damper and billy tea each night with country singer for entertainment each night from 4pm to 5pm.

How exciting! It's a wee little Viscount Nipper, 11ft, 590kg poptop! Perfect for Lucy to tow! Dan came with me to inspect it, and it passed. The owner is getting it inspected, and gas cert done, and all should be ready for me to collect her when I get back from Cooloola on Thursday. Of course, Dan can't hel...

Heading off on a short trip up to Carnarvon on wednesday,looking forward to a bit of warm weather and some good fishing for about 4 weeks.

Just watching this show on CH7 (in Qld anyway) - just showed some amazing footage of the Bungle Bungles - they are magnificent - if you get a chance go in and see them for yourself. Well worth the trip in.

I met with Jules and Travel Bug today for a cuppa at Ipswich. We hit it off right away and didn't pause for breath for about 2 hours!

I think there'll be a few more 'cuppas' in the future. What say you 'ladies'?!

Hi folks, I have tried the search area but unable to find a solution to the waeco problem. I have a 60l frig/freezer. It was going wonderfully until last week I tried to set it up again. I set it to -10celsius, it blinked a couple of times (as normal) and then reverted to 61farenheit yet it was showing 61 deg...

We had a breakdown at a little town called Lexton, which is on the Pyrenees Highway 20mins. North of Ballarat on the way to Avoca. Would recommend the local mechanic Don there, he was ever so helpful. Also the Pyrenee Hotel managers Brett & Margaret. We did recommend to Brett, that he encourages se...

I have a vague recollection of a picturesque drive along the coastline including a newish roadway & possibly bridge in the Sydney area. Possibly only constructed in the last 10yrs or so.

This Notice was in The Morning Bulletin this morning. Cheers, Sheba.

Can anyone tell me if we can tow with a new tug straight away, or do we need to wait - perhaps until we have some kilometers on it? I have heard that we need 3000 kms on the car before we set off. We ordered a new diesel ford territory in early July, and as delivery keeps getting delayed we can't make any definit...
