Hello I was told today that there is a flood watch for the Kimberlies. I was wondering if anyone knows if you can still do day trips from Kununurra to either Five Fingers Lookout and/or El Questro? We had our first off-road experience travelling out to Mary Kathleen. I took wrong turn and winded up in a...

We were in Mackay Sat, ended up going to Kings to look at a smaller car fridge because the fridge we have will fit but its a little too big for the Haval. We ended up buying a 20l car fridge with cover plus a Lithium Battery (153.6Wh/13Ah@12V/48000Ah@3.2V) for $268.00. The battery is charged via a USB to U...

Greetings fellow travellers, my current battery in the van is still working ok but I think it wont hold up to us doing any free camping for multiple days, as it is rapidly dropping voltage over a period of around 7 hours with out charge. So its time I looked around for a replacement. There are a whole range...

Chasing a old Winegard Sensar Antenaa boom and Panels for spare parts.

I was just checking our Campervan for a trip and found some gungy black mould! It was between the bed mattress and the fridge, so maybe caused by the warmth of the fridge (it stays on while parked up). Thankfully easy to clean up and no damage. Would it be worth leaving a de-humidifier going in the van whe...

Can anybody update on access to Inskip Ppint - specifically SAWARAK camps for a 21 ft van and regular 4WD. Or would DORRIGO be a better choice? This is the trouble with having to book in advance - without being able to see the place it's pretty difficult to decide wether we want to even stay! Appreciat...

Hi Everybody. Although I am new to the site, I have been camping for over 25 years. I started off with a Jet Tent, then an OZ Tent. after I got tired of this I bought a Cub Brumby. It was easy to tow, but was dreadful to sleep in when it was windy. Did the Simpson in this. Sold this and bought a T-Van. Another exce...

Hi, Im new to this site so I'd like to say hello . Me and my husband have just moved from our house into a caravan on a very lovely site. We have been here for 3 nights now and tbh I'm really struggling adjusting to our new life. I feel anxious and down and I'm wondering if we have mad a mistake. We have moved ho...

Hi there Newbie here. Wondering who has driven from Lakes Entrance to Mounty Beauty via Omeo-Hotham-Harrietville and what your experience was. We are travelling from WA to SA, Vic and NSW from 11 September returning home to Mandurah WA on 10 December. We have an 18'8" Essentials Cruiser van towe...

Hello everyone. I've been caravanning for years, both when married and now divorced, and just discovered this forum. Retired copper and did 32 years, 19 of those in HWP. I love to travel on my own, both with the caravan and when traveling overseas. I'm packing my van this week as I've never crossed the N...

My computer has been waiting days for an update. I have been ignoring it. Why? I was feeling like "I will not comply" Any how the computer got aggressive and stopped my utube thingo I was watching. Just seemed like I had an internet outage. So I went to turn it off and restart. When I did that there was no...

I recently asked this riddle of Co-Pilot and Chat gpt, and after several minutes of trying to get the answer, they gave up so I thought I would post it here to see if any of our members have more luck than they had. Lateral thinking is required. If I give you the answer to a question, can you tell me what the qu...
