Are you boiling hot, freezing cold, or soaking wet? Is the wind howling or is there a gentle sea breeze cooling you as you sip a pina colada on the beach? Feel free to use this section to let other nomads know how the weather is where you are in this wonderful country, and how you are planning to make the most...

For me two places stand out ( more will come to mind, but I'm a senior so I am having a moment) 1 Mataranka, a stunning spot I thought, the springs are usually full of grey nomads immersed in the warm water, the meals at the resaurant were fantastic and the Van Park though a bit on the dusty side was very clean...

We have 2 x 120w solarking panels on our poptop, seems like one is now faulty, and of course I that exact size one is not available now. so it looks like I will need to replace both panels, we only use about 25 amps overnight from our 100 amp lithium, so anything from 240 to 300 watts is ample for us (were inWA,...

Please don't turn this political ! Just wondering how fellow travellers plan to manage fuel supply issues, and cost for that matter as we have already seen jumps of 30 to 40 cents per litre. We are in the Fraser coast area and have already see several local servo's run out of fuel with people panic buying...

A few months back, I donated my 16.5 ft Jayco poptop caravan to an organisation which is using it as temporary accommodation following recent bushfires. An elderly person is apparently using it now and I don't know where it is currently parked. Being in a burnt out area, it is likely that there is no po...
