For those people who haven't visited Paronella Park before, put it on your list of things to do in FNQ. Fantastic place to spend a day wandering around the grounds, not cheap at $30pp but you get a day and night tour and it even includes a powered site in the adjacent caravan park. It is advisable to book a...

.. Hi all .. Here's a question which, no doubt many have worked their way through. After I sell my house and car, how does one go about buying a motorhome when I no longer have a fixed address to provide.

Well, sort of! After two weeks on the road and still just reaching Sydney from Melbourne we have had our second - count 'em - 2nd day with sun in it.
