Hi Campers, we have a new van and have been out in it twice. So the toilet cassette has only been emptied twice... Both times on replacing the cassette, the toilet 'flush' will not work... First time it was looked at by the factory guys, they said two wires has come adrift... But it has happened aga...

I have posted a longer text about this place on the free camps topic, but be warned - its a dump and worth a max of $10 a night, not $25. The caretakers will also try to rip you off by charging you for the 7th night - when in fact it is free. Very limited power - what few are around the place require a standard 24...

when booking into some CTP's they ask the length of van, it's a 19"6 or 6 metres, yes but how long is it..... Am I missing something or do they go by tow bar to spare wheel. Which is 25" or 8 metres . it is registered as a 19"6 so that's what I tell them cheers OMD

Hi Everyone , I am putting car sunvisors on some of the windows and need suction caps. I have been to bunnings and they have none. I have looked on ebay and can only be bought when you buy an item to go with them. Do you know where I can get them? thanks.

The outback can be a strange place especially when prospecting, make sure you always have permission to be on someone's patch [tenement] there are some unforgiving people out there.

Pulled in here this morning for 1 night. $25.00 for a powered site for 2 people. Park is well laid out, showers and toilets first class so is the laundry. I had lots of laundry to catch up on. Dump point also, although I didn't ask the charge if you are not staying at the CP. Highly recommended.
