Question for Dunco
(Preview)
Hi Dunco Just replied to a post in " Whats the correct speed for towing" thread on the next page. Started me wondring if I'm breaking the law. I tow a 1700 kilo van with a Commodore. The Commodore manual says the speed limit whilst towing anything over 1600 kilos is 80kmh. I often exceed this, s...

Cairns Climate
(Preview)
We're currently on our way to Darwin, where we intend to spend most of the winter (dry season). We'll then mosey over to Cairns and make our way down the east coast. I'm sure you guys can tell us when the weather starts to turn in Cairns so that we should plan to flee south.

Great GPS Site
(Preview)
I don't know if this has been posted before but it looks like it would be a great tool for checking out free camps. Jon is to blame for finding it. I wanted to see the campsite he is at in Qld, Fountain Springs. It lets you have an up close and personal look at these places. http://www.gps-data-team.info/...
