I've been to Exmouth only once, which was back in 1991.I've circumnavigated Australia (by road) and I've visited 13 countries (lived and worked in a few) and, to this day, I still think the beach at Exmouth is the best I've ever seen.While taking a dip in the crystal clear water, my ex wife and I spotted a...

Yesterday during a heat wave the power went out (temporarily) at home and I was most uncomfortable, that's putting it mildly! Anyway, as we live by the Murray River we could potentially lose power, sewer & water for 3 months (we are going away for a few weeks which will help). I was thinking about bu...

Would it be a good idea to ventilate our campervan when parked up. Only problem is if it rains as the windows dont have rain shields

This is possibly a "Cindy" issue but after hacking experiences with Facebook, is it necessary to change our password here from time to time? Do other members change theirs? I know other forums are similar where we use the same password year in, year out.

They live in a wide variety of locations throughout the Northern Hemisphere which is north of the equator and partly in the Southern Hemisphere which is south of the equator. Bears are found in parts of...

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...

In case you haven't heard of these little gems and therefore are oblivious as to their uses, here's a bit about them. They are small plastic domes about the size of a 50c piece that has a battery inside and it traceable from your smart phone on a map. And the $2.20 battery still going after over 12 months....

It seems to me small generators are designed for people who rarely use them Over the years I've owned a number of 1kW or so gens all had issues sooner or later, ironically the best was probably the 750W, $99 two-stroke from Bunnings. 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. Aparrently from what I read on the Jeep owners forum there was a batch of faulty screens that came through on the 2018 model. When it starts to happen you will see it usually begin a...

My daughter has just purchased her first caravan (second hand 17' Avan Rhys) and it has two long single mattresses 210 x 70 x 20 cm. I've just spent two hours Googling and clicking links to no avail looking for fitted sheets. There seems to be nothing made for the narrow width of caravan mattresses. Norm...
