Hi again, (hope I have put this in the right place). It is now only 11 months until we leave for our 'big trip". We have to sell the house and everything in it. I am starting to stress out because I really don't know where or when to start preparing. We have decided to sell up and just leave our perso...

Hi all, We've had an email from a journalist who is doing a story about the NSW Camp Hosting program. They are hoping to talk to people who either have done camp hosting or who are interested in getting involved in the program. PM me if you'd be happy to have a chat with her.

While camped at Archer pt, near Cooktown, I gave some butter and a plastic plate to some locals who were camped there, and they gave me a 1.5kg painted cray which they had speared.

Hi all, have been travelling and working around Oz for 10 years now, mostly in Caravan Parks, but am thinking of going to NZ for a month or so, and hiring a campervan. Anyone already done this, or know about freecamping in NZ? Thanks in advance for any useful tips

During a recent stint on a cattle property one hour south of Winton, Mr D started to make one of those gas bottle bbqs that a lot of fellow GNs appear to be using on the road, utilising whatever he could find in the station's shed. We left the property early than anticipated, moving back to Winton for a coup...
