Mick is home from Bundaberg and on his way, between gympie and Brisbane he counted 124 caravans, campers and motorhomes heading north. It just made us stop to think how many of us like minded people there are out there. And I must admit, a tinge of jelousy that we are not able to join them yet! But our turn...

Arrived in Karumba yesterday and have never seen so many vans in the one place. I don't think there are any victorians left at home, they are all here. We are staying at the Sunset CP, the dearest in town at $29 pn but is the closest to the point. Caught 5 nice bream yesterday and hopefully will get some more...

Just read this little snippet in the Daily Telegraph. Lets hope the people of NSW wake up some time soon and get rid of the current government. It's mostly people of our generation that these "little" taxes slug the hardest: "The greatest slug will be on motorists seeking to transf...

I own one of the all-time gas/petrol guzzlers of all time; a 4litre Landcruiser station wagon with an automatic gearbox. City consumption in the 25lt/100km bracket. But, hey, who cares at 39.5 cents a litre (with supermarket docket). Filling the 140lt petrol tank instantly doubles the market val...

Thanks everyone for your kind thoughts. I have to wait for a couple of weeks for the results. The test seemed to go fine, the hospital staff were wonderful, the food was typical. So it's back to Cairns tomorrow after enjoying the hospitality of the "Cupies". Cheers Chris

Hi everyone, We're new here. Not sure of the protocol, but it seems most people like to know what your rig is so we drive a Landcruiser 100 and tow a trailer with all our gear. We're both grey but still working so we tend to get away twice a year for a good trip, and set up and stay. Living in Melbourne now but l...
