When we got home the other evening, there on the doorstep was a card from a carrying company saying they had a 26 kg parcel for us. We contacted them on line and they said it would be delivered the next day. We had no clue what the hell it was so management detailed me off to stay home all day and wait. We cou...

It's a wet, windy Sunday, and a great day to settle in with a move and a cuddle. I have the movie, but ........... It's blowing a gale at the centre of a low pressure system, similar to a category 1 cyclone. I've battened down the awning, leaving the rest to the elements. My first winter since '96 has starte...

Due to weight concerns etc, I am having a gas (canned type) stove or spirity stove fitted to a campervan. With the gas one (fly spray can size cannisters) this can either be used inside the campervan or outside. The spirit one would be fixed. For anyone who has used both these inside, do you get much...

This morning I saw a rig doing more than 100kph on the freeway, and it made me wonder, what speed do others do? Does it depend on your rig? My b-i-l says 90kph in 4th gear is the best for economy for his Nissan Patrol towing a caravan. My friend says 80kph. He has an auto Mazda BT50 and tows a caravan also. Is t...

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.

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/...
