We are heading off to the york on Monday to catch up with friends travelling to WA, anybody going to be in the area?

We have found in some places we have stayed that fellow travellers like to camp rather close to us, well,....it may be they park close to others as well but i tend to think that we are such lovable people that it's a complete pleasure to bask in the glow of just being near us. This is especially true of europ...

Hi all, I am contemplating buying a waeco... (no real reason why a waeco).. fridge freezer in one... Any tips. Just a 60 lt will do me... Anaconda have them on special for $1199. which includes a free cover & vaccum sealer as well... Is that a good buy? I have looked at second hand ones as well. Or...

Most new vans have a pressure hatch presumably to keep out the dust while travelling.As our van is a pre pressure hatch,if I put the front vent of the 4 season hatch onto rain would this work the same? http://www.nomadsnotes.com/AP.aspx?ID=551&EID=10594211

Head of Bight has been recommended several times on this forum as a good place to view Whales. I keep notes of recommended places in my (big) book, but havent been able to find "Head of the Bight" in my atlas. Sorry to show my ignorance, but where is it?

STROKE: Remember the 1st Three Letters.... S. T. R. STROKE IDENTIFICATION: During a BBQ, Jane stumbled and took a little fall - she assured everyone that she was fine (they offered to call the ambulance), she said she had just tripped over a brick because of her new shoes. They helped her up and s...

I know we have a food forum but, like me, I think many people only occasionally have a glance at it so I thought it best to ask this question on the main forum. When camping away from power in the hotter climates our freezer isn't the most reliable & the waeco struggles a bit also as our battery has its mo...

I picked up Myrtle this afternoon, all done and a lot poorer. Have spent a bit of time with a bucket of hot soapy water giving a wipe out of cupboards, shelves and doors. Worked out where and what a few things were. Layed out the canopy and tarp and wiped a few cobwebs off. Had found a large black spider in the...

Started a new thread, as I don't have this, but thought it was a good idea, and I'll probably find other things I think may be helpful. Cheers, Sheba. http://www.ezyline.com.au/installation.html

Goodmorning everyone reading the difference in the cost of registrations in the states would be a good idea if rego was the same throughout Australia also the same goes for road rules would certainly make it much easier all round. Helena.

Well we have travelled over 7500km since leaving tassie on jan 27, the van would have been in tow for at least 5500km but not an exact number. The maintaince in the van has been to replace 6 rivets out of different window mechanisams (not bad for a 30 year old van), also had to replace a couple of wheel trim...

Talking to some friends who manage a station just out of Larrimah in NT - they are currently flooded in - had to have food helicoptered in the other day - there sure is a lot of water out there - we will all need to be careful where we go - it is still flowing all over the place, raining here in SE Qld today and yes...

Margaret and Bert.................. A retired couple, Margaret and Bert, moved to Tamworth. Bert always wanted a pair of R.M. WILLIAMS boots, so, seeing some on sale, he bought them and wore them home. Walking proudly, he sauntered into the kitchen and said to his wife, 'Notice anything diffe...

I was on the phone to my brother in Western Vic last night. We live in South East QLD. He said that there was a lot of talk amongst his caravanning friends of avoiding Queensland for up to the next two years because of the recent string of floods and cyclones. He said that a lot of them, probably including...
