Gidday, We are back on the road on Friday, yahoo, leaving my wife Karens parents place near Taree NSW and hoping to be in Canberra next week. Doing the Great Ocean Rd in a couple of weeks. If you see a dark grey 200 cruiser with a Jayco Sterling on the back, with stickers, give us a wave. We started our round A...

We had our heart set on an "off-road" caravan till we learned how heavy most of them were. Mr D loves his Prado and wasnt willing to swap it for a tug with greater towing capacity, so we chose a lighter (and less off-road capable) caravan. At a roadside rest stop yesterday, we met a couple of pe...

A bakery owner hires a young female clerk who likes to wear very short skirts and thong panties. One day a young man enters the store, glances at the clerk and glances at the loaves of bread behind the counter. Noticing the length of her skirt (or lack thereof) and the location of the raisin bread, he has a...

Hi everyone, Last year hubby and I took three months off work to travel Brisbane to Broome and back in our Mazda B50 Duel cab and Jayco Dove Campervan....and what a trip it was. We had a ball, so much so that we can't wait to get back on the road. So around late October this year we'll be taking early retire...

anybody having probs getting into hotmail.com?

Have decided to head home in the morning. After a very sleepless night, one in which the dog killed in a mouse in my grandaughters bedroom and I flushed it down the loo, I came to the realisation I have to get Myrtle right before I do anymore tripping. Do all the things that should have been done, new in hous...

Personally, I wouldn't drive anything else. Seems that the trend is towards automatic rather than manual cars though. Our tug is a Rodeo 4x4 Diesel Auto, and very happy with the choice. I spent a few years living in the U.S.A, and was a member of a fishing club. Everyone had a 4x4 and not one of them wa...

Hi guys - my shake down trip to Canberra has had a few "highlights" already. Ended up leaving a day later than planned and a few hours later in the morning, but hey lets go with the flow. The first night I stayed at Holbrook, nice quite little park. In the morning when I packed up ready to g...

As some of you may know we have an older van. 20 years old as a matter of fact but we wouldnt hesitate, if we could to go around Aust in it. Well as things happen we had a water leak and some mould inside and some rot. We found Ron Williams, from Brisbane Mobile Caravan Servicing, and he came out spent a wh...
