I think it could be but only if we are honest. Ther were people in the park last night who refused to fill out one as they had filled it out last week before they left home. If one person did that fine, if 1000 did it??? if 100000 did it it becomes significant because that means that the decision makers are una...

Hi everyone, I have just returned from 7 fantastic days in Cairns and not having seen the city for nearly 30 years I cannot speak highly enough of the brilliant input of the local council and tourism bodies behind the development structure that now exists in the city and region. It is so user friendly, t...

We are slowly moving towards heading off on our lifestyle change, due to pick up our Kimberley Kamper in just over 1 week (can't happen soon enough for me!) We've been told that we need to get insurance which will cover us for offroad use/river crossings etc. Is there a company that specialises in th...

Looking over the Census it appears to me that us that are on the road full time are of Non-Status. I could not see the relevance of it to me, & if this is in fact the case, what benefit will there be for me, & those like me, in the future, based on my answers. How will the Govt. plan for my lifestyle, my t...

Our bear, who will be 18 years old this Christmas, developed a failure in his chest fabric. Basically it has just given up the ghost, too many years and too much su...

We get our rig set up to suit our needs. Everything goes fine for a couple of years, and then something goes wrong.
