Hi All, Planning a trip from Perth to Adelaide and then on to the Great Ocean Road. It would be over and back on the same route because that's all time permits but it is also a shakedown for a bigger trip in 2024. I have been told that Vans aren't allowed on the Great Ocean Road but I cant find that info, can any...

Hi, currently with Optus Mobile but looks like a much better deal with ALDImobile. We live in WA and often end up in remote(ish) areas. I know that ALDI uses Telstra's network, but wonder about speed as some areas appear to only have 3G when Optus has 4G. We hotspot our laptop when away from home. Any ALDI...

Almost three years past I sold my house in Melbourne bought a posh carav...

Because I usually travel more slowly than most motorists, in the car and van by choice, and in the Roadtrain simply because it's hard to maintain 100km/hr with 130 ton on board, I regularly am overtaken by other vehicles. In days gone by we were taught to hold the steering wheel with both hands, in the "1...

Just a warning for 2018 Jeep GC owners I just had to have my 9" screen replaced as it was delaminating and doing weird things.

Central Victoria: Yesterday? 40C Today? 18C No bloody wonder it's impossible to acclimatize. My poor old body is doing it's best but a combination of these massive temperature variations and age do make these very hot spells a trial nowadays. In future I think it's a case of ensure all is organised be...
