The petrol pajero is going to be to heavy on fuel, so new bus might be on the cards, can afford but didn't want too . Anyway have a 09 Colorado to look at in sydney next week when we get there. No I will not be telling u what I'm getting but it's not good by a long shot, worse than I thought it would be towing a 2500...

Was reading the Nomad news about Warrnambool vic and that got me thinking about caravan parks at Emerald qld, last time we were up that way the only camping seemed to be near the bridge so we moved on to Saffire. (not that that was a bad move) As we intend to be heading that way shortly, would anyone have a...

What a sad day, knowing the great, the one and only Richie Benaud has passed away today. Summer just won't be the same without Richie's thoughtful commentary. May he rest in peace.

Just a general question. Are there plenty of either caravan parks or free stays with lots of travelers staying overnight in this stretch and would you need to carry extra fuel or are the servos close enough not to have to worry about it. We don't like to travel for too long in a day.

We have just spent a week come Monday camped at Corryong on the Rec Reserve/Golf Course, and I have to say this is one of the best run festivals we have ever attended, it got virtually washed out last year but the weather has been superb this time. Corryong is a town of about 1500 people but during the festi...
