Hi Just wondering if anyone has been to the Lake Eyre region recently. We're thinking of going over from Perth to check it out while there's so much water about. Any advice re camping grounds/sight seeing flights/what else to see/current weather conditions would be greatly appreciated.

Would like to ask other nomads if anyone out there is travelling with a Rav 4 V6 motor and towing a Jayco eagle or Hawk on road model. If so we would love to know the fuel ecomony as we are thinking about changing our van. Only new to the travelling so we would also like to hear any pro's and Cons travelling wit...

We arrived home from the G/Coast last night & picked up thr B.I.L. from the local hospital today & all is going well , he is staying with us for a while.

Four friends spend weeks planning the perfect backwoods camping and fishing trip. Two days before the group is to leave, David's wife puts her foot down and tells him he isn't going. Davids's friends are very upset that hecan't go, but what can they do. Two days later the three get to the camping site...

Hiya All, I've been reading the posts on her for quite a few weeks and have found a wealth of useful information. It was always a dream of my husbands and mine to travel around oz, unfortunately my darling husband passed before we realize our dream together, so I have decided to live our dream for the both...

HI all can you tell me which is the best make of radio, Uniden or CME? We are counting down the days to receiving our van and are now both retired!!!!!

Last night we stopped at the Han**** Lookout between Willmington and Port Augusta in SA. It's a few kilometers of dirt road, but the effort is well rewarded at the other end. From the top you look down over the Spencer Gulf with Port Pirie on the left and Port Augusta on the right. Absolutely amazing and a...

Can any of you recommened a good mail forwarding service that is not too expensive (we dont have a lot of mail) but is 100% reliable. Thankyou in advance.

I am so p--------------ed off!!! Too many Yank words creeping in to every-day language. The last one to get me this angry, was CUP-CAKES, instead of PATTY-CAKES. A minute ago, DOMINOES' PIZZAS advertised Pizzas with AUSSIE GROUND BEEF!!! What is wrong with MINCED BEEF, or just plain old MINCE !...

I would appreciate info re free camps, parks, prices etc from Cairns anticlockwise around the block. We plan to leave here beginning of May next year and take 6/8 months to get home. North Qld is chokkas during winter and wonder if NT & WA will be the same. We will bypass Darwin and will be kee...

Thanks to those who gave details of the dirt road to Port Smith WA. I'm thinking I might give it a miss. One more... how about Eighty Mile Beach, a little further south? Will I be able to go from the highway to the van park with all cups, saucers and false teeth still in one piece? Of course, any informatio...

How do you stop all your plates and cups rockin' and rollin' and havin' a crackin' time?
