We're about to travel from Melbourne VIC up to near Yeppoon QLD much like a large number of retirees avoiding the southern winter.

Road from Walgett to Warren
(Preview)
Hi, I was wondering what Cumberdoon Way was like from Walgett to Warren as I have an Avan Ovation Motorhome 2 wheel drive 8 metres long. Are there lots of trucks and is it a safe route. It looks like a very picturesque route via Currinda ?

Permanent travellers: What do you *like* most about living on the road?
(Preview)
Permanent travellers: What do you *like* most about living on the road? These questions are directed at people who do not have a home to which they may return. I suspect they have a different mindset to those who may spend lengthy periods on the road but know they always have a home waiting for them.

So what's with the price of petrol in Perth? Why is there a regular cycle of cheapest on a monday then a spike that gradually decreases to the next monday? Google it. The spike is 20 cents a litre. And this is legal?

How do you stop yourselves from being lazy?
(

(Preview)
Ive been reading the blogs and am amazed at how much you all do and see. Do you have to force yourselves to get get up and go and walk miles through the scrub to a waterfall or does it just come easily? Do you research the must-sees before you arrive at a town/region or wing it when you get there? To those with...
