Hi Everyone We are trainee grey nomads and are yet to buy a caravan. However, we have bought the Toyota Landcruiser to tow it. We were thinking of doing a trip up to Kununurra in July to test out the vehicle on a long run and to see if we liked travelling. We know it will be busy along the way especially in B...

Anyone here have the hour glass doors, and do you still have the lower bumpers that slot into the strikers, there seems to be nothing that holds them in except their tightness in the slot. Have to come up with some way of holding them in.

We are going to travel from Broome to Ellendale Lake and Fitzroy Crossing. Has anyone stayed at either Willare Roadhouse or Derby. I realise its a short drive to either as a stoppover, but we have reason to do so. Any information on Willare Roadhouse or Derby as a stoppover would be appreciated.

At the risk of opening a tin of worms, I'm just wondering how does one compare the quality of mattresses from different suppliers?

Cannot get an interstate script filled in NT. Told we have to go to a local doctor to get a new script. Local doctor will only give you a script with a reference from the doctor who wrote out the original script. Sounds a bit too much red-tape. I thought we were one country, one medicare system. Not happy Ja...
