Inner City stays.
(Preview)
Not sure how many people would be interested in this. I personally don't mind checking out inner cities, places like Darlinghurst in Sydney or The Valley up in Brisbane. People from other regions may well be interested in the area I live, which is in Melbournes Inner North, with all it's cheap real...

When I answered there was a pause and a foreign male claiming to be named Thomas informed me that I had been involved in an accident and he was working for a financial institution (unnamed) and was seeking damages from me. Of course, I did not fa...

Another option question - Toilets
(Preview)
I think they'll be a few more of these "option" questions before I'm done. Snowy River offer the option of a ceramic toilet over the standard plastic (I think) one. Although the ceramic will be heaver it will, I suspect, be easier to keep clean especially over the longer term. When used and cleaned dail...

Mt Isa CPs targeted by thieves
(Preview)
A heads-up for anyone planning to stay at a CP in Mt Isa. Thieves are targeting them and I was a victim over the weekend after I was away from the bus for 45 minutes. Surprisingly, and very thankfully, the only things taken were my el-cheapo pre-paid phone I had just as a backup and an old iPhone 4 with an app...

Due to the crowding by travellers at unsuitable (for campi...

Widest cargo or passenger van in Australia for conversion
(Preview)
I'm sure someone has already scoped this out before. Are there any vans (not caravan) which will fit a full size bed widthways rather than lengthways? On Redbook the Transit seem to be the widest but the measurement includes the mirrors. Internally, they weren't as wide as I was hoping.

Washing machine in van - Is it worthwhile?
(Preview)
My plans to go nomad are progressing quickly and before long I'll be placing an order for a new caravan, very possibly a Snowy River SR-19, I note from the options list for this van that they will replace the washing machine with shelves at no charge (I should think so) and I'm tempted by this. It's my inte...

Laundry Money

Got the Laundry money sorted. Amazing how quickly it adds up from loose change. 600ml Coke holds $860 in $2 coins and the fruit vessel hold $330 in $1 coins. Hope I have enough to keep me in clean undies for a while.
