I have had two reversing cameras that have stopped working on my caravan after a couple of months of use. I run them constantly when driving and am thinking they may be burning out. Does anyone else have this issue? Thanks Nage

Thought I would let everyone know that the Gin Gin Show Grounds (King St) west of Bundaburg QLD not only is a great place to stay with friendly caretakers etc but now has a Dump Point. It is located next to the mens toilets. It wasn't here when I stayed last year unless I missed it of course.

Hello all - I am having trouble with the drainage hose on my grey water tank. It is leaking where it joins onto the tank so I am thinking I will have to buy a new hose and perhaps a new tap. Could someone please advise me as to what I need to buy and also the best place to buy it from. Thank you in advance.

ABC Darwin 105.7 use this as an indicator of whether were in the "dry season" yet in the top end. It measures the amount of "Grey Nomads" that are camped up at the Robbie Robins reserve & is apparently far more accurate than the BOM's measurements. Went past today & it's...

The WA quarantine website states that home dried fruit and vegetables will be allowed in if inspectors are satisfied they are sufficiently dried and free of pests. Wondering what people's experience is? Claire

Big decision. Going to Thargomindah, Eromanga, Quilpie, Windorah Jundah, Longreach. Any suggestions/warnings..... and anyone else going that way? Leaving St George today. Not in a hurry - 2 weeks at least to do it.

We recently stayed one night Fitzroy River Lodge Caravan Park. A Beautiful park and surrounding but for the first time in 10 weeks on the road we had our bicycles stolen from under our annexe. We were not the only campers targetted as plastic containers were strewn all over the park roads from other...

As I write this I am sitting at home grounded for a few weeks, why because I have just had some significant and expensive eye surgery to solve a problem that I could have picked up before it was a problem. A few weeks ago I experienced occasional little slashes in my vision in one eye, often followed by litt...

Hi All. An article in the current issue of the local newspaper states that TEN portable fridges have been stolen from campers since the beginning of 2015. Apparently they check out the new arrivals and then during the night help themselves. The Manager of the 1770 camping area has installed motion ac...
