Gday... We will be in Dubbo on Monday. Looking for a 'good' van park - one that suits 'grey nomads' insomuch that no bells and whistles, just clean and quiet. Any other suggestions? Cheers Julie & John

G'day everyone, been awhile but finally found sometime to make a quick post of our tassie trip. What a revelation Tasmania has been despite the poor weather. The scenery is stunning, from coast to coast and inland, excellent roads and signage and of course camps 5! We have found no shortage of free cam...

We are planning to travel around Oz next year. Having to spend significant $$ on a rig, we are interested in paying for our living expenses by doing casual work as we travel, so we don't eat into out savings un-neccessarily. What scams. pitfalls etc. should we look out for. Any help would be appreciated...

We never know what's around the corner, hubby and I bought a van a couple of months ago, with plans of doing big trip at the end of financial year 2011. We would be looking for work along the way as we have no big super to rely on and are not yet near pension age, both were still working to get finances in order f...

Can anyone tell me why some of my Toolbars sometimes are Blacked out ? It's happened again today. Cheers, Sheba.

Hi all- not looking for myself but my sister in law a newbie goat farmer and all alone is looking for a VERY cheap small van to use as accomodation on her small farm at Gloucester NSW. If anyone can help or send us in a direction in regard to this we would be most greatful. Even though we say cheap as she is doin...

If any one is a fan of Allan Jackson he is appearing in Brisbane 10th & 11th March ,2011, hoping to be there.

A soon to be nomad friend of ours has just bought a Springvale Seaview Caravan and has also purchased a 2008 Ford Territory Ghia. I am assuming it's automatic transmission. I have a feeling that the towing capacity of the Territory won't be up to the weight of the van. I think from memory they said the van...

As you will all know we have had a lot of rain here in South East QLD. Well the garage got a little water in it and there was a pile of stuff from out last trip not put away yet and there on the bottom or the lot and the only thing subject to water damage was our camps 4. Lit the fire and got it dry but its awfully cr...

What a whinger! but honestly. I've just returned from a 15000kms trip around WA in my Hiace. I'm pretty disgusted with the cost of both powered and non-powered sites in caravan parks - especially in WA. In 99% of cases I was charged exactly the same as 2 people in a large caravan being towed by a large vehi...

Costume Party A couple was invited to a swanky costume party. The Mrs. got a terrible headache and told her husband to go to the party alone. He being a devoted husband protested, but she argued and said she was going to take some aspirin and go to bed and there was no need for his good time being spoile...

Hi folks .. Come December/January, my intention is to travel back to WA across the Nullabor. This time, I hope to to spend the best part of 8-10 weeks between Adelaide and Albany .. then to move north up the West Coast from about March .. to enjoy the (Southern) winter months in the warmth of the North .....

Ok here's a dumb question! What does IMHO stand for?

Management and I are just back from Stanage in Qld. To get there go 75 k's north of Rockhampton then turn right and go 100 k's of dirt road. The place is just stunning, and the camping is free (Esplanade park) and a few other places. It is midgie country, but where north of N.S.W isnt? You must take in y...
