We wash & detail our caravan when we get home, when we're away we don't touch it. The only thing we clean is the car windscreen. Here are three observations from a recent trip through the NSW/QLD Outback. 1. People washing their cars & caravans at a CP despite prominent signage asking them not t...

I am just about to go on my first red claw trip of the season - none left in the freezer! Terrible weather has cost us most of the season ... rain & wind & dam closures.

Has anyone travelled with 2 cats? We travel with our small dog but as yet not with the cats. It is becoming increasingly harder to get cat sitters. We want to do a 4 week trip and thinking of taking cats with us. We have boarded them once and they both came home sick so wont do that again. Thanks

So, my plans of becoming a grey nomad took a bit of a step backwards last week as my caravan was taken away on the back of a truck to be auctioned as an insurance write-off! Long story, but after waiting a year for repairs to be done, and being told we'd have to wait at least another seven-eight months, and th...

Google have a nasty habit of not allowing Android to be backwards compatible for long. For example: I have been running Wiki Camps quite happily on my expensive and high end Asus tablet for about three or four years. This tablet runs Android 4. Recently I performed a "factory reset" on the tablet and su...

I am disappointed in what I have seen, by the mess and the destruction of the graveled areas at rest stops by those campers who have to make a fire, but don't use the supplied fire pit, or have their own above ground grate. Went to Lake Hart rest area, where we are a guest of the Aboriginal people, and the cam...
