What is your ideal climate? I've lived (not holiday-ed - a different ballgame) in places from northern Europe to the tropics to Melbourne and my favourite climate, as a nomad, is Victoria - the south of France, similar to Vic, entices me also. Today (1/1/22) I'm in Tallangatta on the Vic/NSW border an...

I have joined this site with a specific goal in mind - to warn all to stay away from Outbax camping - unless you want to buy a cheap import with a PWM controller that does not have a proper heat sink and might easily cause a fire (instead of the MPPT controller they are advertised as having.) They are also su...

Hello everyone & Happy New Year too. Since we've had our van (4 years) we have clocked up over 50,000 kms & I don't know its past history (was second hand). We did find red sand in a couple of places so it might have been out in the Birdsville area. It has both shock absorbers & the tension sprin...

Hi, We are fairly new to caravanning, however, planning trip from WA to Qld Feb - April 2022, can anyone please advise if there are any online maps which show either roads suitable or unsuitable for towing a caravan? Any help much appreciated. Pep

This caution is probably obvious but.... This morning I investigated a couple of camps in NE Victoria which had been posted to Wiki Camps. Both were 10km or so into the bush so, as is my rule, I left the caravan behind and used the 4WD only. One site (Avondale Gardens) had a few reviews which were more or le...

It consists of a plastic ice mould with rubbery sides which pulls open (left photo) and closed (right photo). First you close the device, open the white plug in...
