Read the daily update on the website. I was at Emma Gorge on 1st September and had been at Kununurra for a week or so. There were many fires around the town, but none seemed to be threatening so I got to be very blase about them assuming all were under control. Can't imagine the horror of getting trappe...

My park neighbours are itinerants. Full time nomads, with a V8 Chevvy and a 5th wheeler. The rig is registered in Qld. It's their home. It's due for reregistration, so to comply with the specifications they arranged to have it inspected to comply with the roadworthy certificate. They sent the money a...

We're in the Baramba Bush Camp east of Murgon and heading towards Gayndah, does anyone have any info on Gayndah parks, are they full of fruit pickers at this time of the year and would it be better to free camp at Binjour Range park or Wharton weir ?

Dear All, I have been considering purchasing a Kimberley Karavan, I know they are expensive new. Has anyone any experience with one? I had a track trailer TVan in the past and the Kimberley Kamper appears to have many more creature comforts. Any points of view will be helpful. Regards Tully
