Flying to Perth WA and should be there by the end of Feb 2012. Plan to drive to Darwin via the coast road. Would love to hear from other nomadic followers of itineraries...

I'm currently in Bowen and heading to Cairns and Port Douglas within the next week or so, I was hoping to be there for a couple of months but at around $45 a night in most of the parks its just out of the question. There seems to be so many people that I've met on the way that are heading up there for 3-6 months...

I couldn,t sleep after waking up at 4am, and decided to go down to the local boat ramp to cast a few lures. First cast hooked a nice little 60cm barra, which jumped a few times, and will go well on a forthcoming barby on the beach. Also got a pansized grunter, and a small trevally, both released. -- Edited by...

Once aboard you would never know it was a double deck plane. We found it comfortable with adequate legroom and by far the quietest jet wev...

Called RACV out this morning as still couldn't start Myrtle. Nice man got her going for me and informed me the battery terminal was stuffed and needed replacing. He asked if I got my work done at his workshop. No but I did buy her from there. "Ah, I thought I had seen her before" So I told him all...
