Big Al · Big Al

Hello all... I'm new to this forum stuff but not to the grey nomadding side of life.

We have always stayed in...

Here goes with another dumb question. When free camping, where do you get your water from to fill you tanks? I realise if you are staying in a caravan park, you can top up before you leave, but can't imagine servos will allow you to fill your tanks as you fill up with fuel??? Not far from where I live, ther...

We all seem to be heading off. Some going North, some South, some East and West. We leave on Thursday and head to Arkaroola to take over toilet cleaning from Gary and Kerry. After our 4 or so weeks there we will probably head to Alice and then up and across to Queensland. With so many of us out on the road,...

We are travelling to Adelaide and are wondering where is the best place to stay.We have pets and are looking for a caravan park that will cater for them. Is the Boliver caravan park a good park to stay at?

While the caravan is great we have had trouble with the Jackaroo and want to know if anyone out there can help or give us the name of a group that ca...

I know I'm being lazy, but word of mouth is way better than something written in a book. My question: Free camps between Lithgow - Broken Hill - Port Augusta - Woomera and then on to Darwin. Ones to avoid and ones to definitely stop at. Any suggestions greatfully received.
