Yesterday we drove in the Suzuki to Melbourne to visit an old friend. He is 97 years old & blind but he completely looks after his wife who is 90 & has full blown alzheimers. The only help he has is a cleaner comes in once a week & he has meals on wheels 3 days a week. He could probably get a lot mo...

We are leaving here tomorrow on our way north. Spent a week here at Avoka Farm Stay & it's been a great spot. Such friendly people. Even let me win when playing cards. Lots of animals to see & feed. If you're coming this way I can recommend it.

They spent last night at Chinchilla Weir and they said there were about 40 other vans there as well and that there were too many people there for their liking. T...

Can't afford it. Called into Bridgestone to ask the correct presssure for my tyres as had so much conflicting information. Turns out to be 36 by the way. Only to find out I need to replace my rear tyres.. He said best you don't go too far out of town without replacing them. So after renewing the rego this...

Many moons ago ....... back as far as the mid 50's we used to travel the Putty road north-west of Sydney, from Windsor to Singleton, when it was dirt. Over the years, it was tarred but still a rotten road to travel - heaven knows how much of it I walked with car sickness, my dad used to get out and we would walk...

Caravan parks here in Kalgoorlie have been very busy and quite often full. to avoid disapoitment why not ring ahead and get a feel of the situation. We hate turning away, especially the elderly, there is a limit. This suggestion can apply anywhere on the circuit but moreso in the regional areas. Enjoy...

I can't believe they've just done a big story on the news about magpie season! Quest newspapers are even running an online map of their nesting areas! I remember them swooping us on the way to our bus stop. We'd walk along with our ports on our heads. I can't believe people get so wound up about them!
