Hi folks, We're new members looking at doing a nine month trip round Oz. We've heard that house insurance becomes invalid if you are away for more than three months at a time. Does anyone have any information on this as we prefer not to take it up with our insurance company until we know which way the la...

Have just read a facebook post from 'The Great Aussie Roadtrip'. Many will find this interesting. 'Did you know that in many places you can not just snap a photo and sell, or put it into the public domain (i.e: website/blog) without PAYING first! Any photos taken in National Parks MUST have the appro...

We have had our Jacyo Conquest motor home about a year now and are getting ready for a trip up north of WA next year. In doing a full mechanical check we get out the wheel jack to see how we change a flat tyer and find the jack provided is useless. Went off and purchased a bigger jack and again that one does no...

I tend to agree with the sentiments of the editor re the proposed RV village in Maryborough Qld. It does appear to be a grab at the upper end of the RV market. What is actually needed is a place where the whole range of facilities are centralised in one spot.Ranging from repairs,installations,accessor...

We camped for 10 days, early December at Wuruma Dam inland from Bundaberg QLD. The purpose of the trip was to bag a fresh water Barra. Well I beat the water to foam with Bomber A's and soft plastics to no avail. A fairly local bloke, who knew the dam well arrived and as we chatted he said "if I get a Ba...

We were travelling north from our daughters, near Coffs, towards the Gold Coast and fortunately decided to take the Teven road to bypass Ballina as the traffic was very heavy. We stopped at Tintenbar for a pie and whilst eating it noticed a massive pall of smoke, obviously from an explosion. Attach...

We ended up flying to Bris for Christmas, after my partner had a health hiccup, and while it was lovely to be with family, we are just SO glad to be home in warm dry sunny Canberra! My heart goes out to all those in Qld enduring such constant rain and flooding. Hope everybody is safe and well.
