One week, no power, no water (a little bit maybe), overcast, raining, blowing and stormy. Grey water system worked well and as expected. The 40 litre trundle tank is a little heavy to lift on the ute though and needs a handle at the wheels end. We went through too much water, and will need to conserve mo...

What do you do with the TV set when traveling. Do any of you leave it secured to the wall bracket, adequately cushioned and secured against movement.

Just after opinions on what others do..... We will be heading to the North Coast NSW and Qld coast in July and August. We only use caravan parks and usually stay about 3-4 days each place. Should we book ahead and if so how far in advance???? Just wondering what others do.

A question for all of you who have Wikicamps on your devices......... I know you pay a small amount for the App but can you then load it onto multiple devices or do you pay a fee for each device ? I was thinking I would put it on my laptop to browse at home and also on my phone for quick access when travelling. Wo...

We are caravaning to Darwin in a couple of weekstime leaving from Port Augusta. Could anyone please give us an indication of any reasonable priced places [caravan parks etc] to use as a base to look around Darwin. We are on the pension and don't want to pay the earth and cut our stay short.

Back in 1960, at the tender age of 17, I got myself up to Alice Springs. There I saw, and fell in love with my first roadtrain. Within days, I got myself round to see the transport mob, filled out some paperwork, did a "test drive" around the block, in a 1957 FC Holden 'ute, and was handed my "C" class license...

Hi. I noticed that holidays to Fiji were very cheap at the moment, probably due to the cyclone they had. Has anybody been there recently? I am interested in your views. Thanks, Bill
