Some people say that they're really only useful in towns and that most National Parks don't show up in detail on them. Does anyone have any...

Am I to understand the term "grey nomad" has now been extended to those among us that merely take longer holidays than others, or is it if one takes any sort of break and travels at all for any length of time automatically makes one a "grey nomad". have I already become one and real...

She hasn't seen too many 4WD versions of these types of vehicles and would love to get some feedback from others regarding the pros and cons of 4WD rigs. Can you have a good trip and really see Aust...

Has anyone kept examples of caravan rear end name signs, names and funny ones. If i was game enough mine would be Graham and Panadol. Work wanted, good idea or not. One couple i met had to put a sliding sign because they were inundated with work offers while travelling espcially in WA.

I read in my toilet instruction book that you shouldn't travel with the flush tank full. I thought this was a bit strange, can anyone please help out on this?

My husband of 35 odd years and myself have sold the old campa trainer and purchased a little pop top van. We have travelled mostly over Western Qld and N.T. but lately have been living in Cairns and love the National Parks Camping areas. Love to camp in the free roadside areas with other travellers. M...

Do you think it advisable to join the various park's memberships? Does the 10% discount really mount up to much? We will also throw in quite a bit of free camp sites to keep costs down. Also which are the best caravanning travel guides to purchase?

Hi All, Hubby, kids and I are looking at taking work on a Cattle Station at Theodore QLD. Wondering if you have travelled there and may have any suggestions of what we can look at in our spare time. Our two kids are 9 and 7 and love the idea of being on a farm. Thanks Nenie!!!!!

Due to my undexpected retrenchment - which has turned out to be a blessing in disguise - we are planning to leave Melbourne as soon as November.
