Ollie · Ollie

Hi everyone, In the market for our first caravan and would love if anyone could take the time to point out the things to watch out for, what is a good brand etc. Thought I should start with the ones with all the experience - the grey nomads! :) Our budget is around $15,000 and there is just me and my wife (firs...

One night around a campfire in the Warrumbungles, we met a couple who were on their first caravan trip. They had travelled overseas extensively and discovered that some people on the other side of the world had visited here and knew more about their own country than they did. So they decided to fix that...

We are hoping to spend a couple of months on the south coast. Would love any recommendations- we like having a campfire(conditions permitting), don't need toilet or showers, and sometimes like electricity. Not just looking for free camping but hate the caravan park cement slab & side by side...

G'day All, I am shortly going to need a new set of tyres for the Pajero and would like some advice.

I have been quoted $320 for Goodrich and $310 for Coo...

I tend to agree with the sentiments of the editor re the proposed RV village in Maryborough Qld. It does appear to be a grab at the upper end of the RV market. What is actually needed is a place where the whole range of facilities are centralised in one spot.Ranging from repairs,installations,accessor...

We camped for 10 days, early December at Wuruma Dam inland from Bundaberg QLD. The purpose of the trip was to bag a fresh water Barra. Well I beat the water to foam with Bomber A's and soft plastics to no avail. A fairly local bloke, who knew the dam well arrived and as we chatted he said "if I get a Ba...
