Just got my new camper trailer and intend to travel from Melbourne to Alice taking a couple of months and stopping off for a while to do a trip to Lake Eyre. Meeting a couple of friends in Alice and then doing the Larapinta trail. I travelled in the car last year for two months but this is my first time with a c...

Hi all! I'm now at my sisters, after spending a few extra days..unintentionally..with friends in Bundaberg. I came down sick, and just couldn't get out of bed. Luckily, I had a real bed in the house, not in Gypsy. Finally felt well enough to drive to my sisters today, and off home tomorrow. So my adventu...

We were happy as Larry to be off "on the road again". Got as far as ****lebiddy & OH we stopped suddenly. Probably a seal gone on the fuel pump. But the bad news - approx. $3000 just to take the motorhome back to Kalgoorlie. So here we are much poorer back in Kalgoorlie & goodness kn...

A man suffered a serious heart attack while shopping in a store. The store clerks called 000 when they saw him collapse to the floor. The paramedics rushed the man to the nearest hospital where he had emergency open heart bypass surgery. He awakened from the surgery to find himself in the care of nun...

A Jewish daughter says to her mother, "I'm divorcing Joe." All he wants is sex, sex and more sex.. My vagina is now the size of a 50 cent piece when it used to be the size of a nickel." Her mother says, "You're married to a multi-millionaire businessman, you live in an 8 bedroom man...

For those handy men out there , if you are wiring up your tug/van/camper etc with a accessory that draws a constant heavy load then dont use these fuse holders. They are rated up to 30 amps , but are no longer a good fuse holder in the above mentioned situation. I have just had three of these units , fitted to...

only ever flew on this bird once, but what an experience LHR to New York in just under 4 hours

Well I have read your posts and I am very envious of you all. I have an almost vintage van 12' including drawbar very comfortable but basic, an annex n awning if needed. Shower tent porta loo n bush shower, 3 way fridge n all towed by a 1997 Toyota. That is what I can afford n I want to head off. Any thoughts or s...

Was in Safeway this arvo, came across an oven/benchtop cooker for 29.99. Going back tomorrow to get one as will be great for in the campervan. Very lightweight as well. Aldi also have one but it looks heavy and has two top elements as well. 99.00 Don't see the need for the two top elements as I have the gas s...

Well done Garry. Great pic. Will hang on many walls I reckon. Margarets 2nd and my 3rd are in great company. Thanks to all who entered and to all who took the time to vote. Cheers, Peter

We all talk about it and this I think comes pretty close to the "it". We all want a reasonably priced site, power, spotless facilities, helpful operators, roomy with well kept grounds and no frills other than a little extra in the hospitality department. How about a Tuesday 'Pizza' ...

Some doctor on TV yesterday said the way to achieve inner peace is to finish all the things you have started. So I looked around my house to see things I'd started & hadn't finished, then I finished off a bottle of Vodka, a bodle of Baileys, a botle of wum, a pock of Prungles, 1/2 chesecke an a bocs a choc...

Well, I discovered the other week, that the info. I was given on the Cairns trip by a so-called mechanic in Babinda, was totally incorrect, and I ruined my tyres. He told me I should have 35 psi all round. The correct pressures for mine, [1998 model,] are 45 front, [motor is under seat, so heavier at the...

Another successful Rodeo has come and gone .. the attendance figures were down on the previous years but unless you were told that, you probably wouldn...

Is anyone out there interested, its very rural (in the bush) one dog and one cat to look after, no mains power all solar and may have to use the genny when the batteries run low, generally look after...

Towards the end of a round of golf, Dave hit his ball into the woods and found it in a patch of pretty yellow buttercups. Trying to get his ball back in play, he ended up thrashing just about every buttercup in the patch. All of a sudden, POOF! In a flash and puff of smoke, a little old woman appeared. She said...

We are Sue and Phil and we have just started the process of selling the farm in Wandin Victoria and hitting the road. We hope to leave by Easter 2012 or earlier if all goes well and have been planning the whole thing for a few months now. What a lot to go through to get started. Which caravan, what layout an...

How have things changed since you were a kid? I don't mean the obvious, but something that really sticks in your memory. For example, as a kid, everyone in our neighbourhood knew everyone, from our house down to the next corner about 8 houses away, and around to the other side of that block, and most ni...
