On Sat. night we visited friends who live 8 kms out of Kuranda for dinner. Had a great time but then we started home. I was driving as Keith had enjoyed a couple glasses of wine. FOG I wasn't prepared for it & it certainly made driving a bit scary. The lights on our poor little Suzuki didn't cope v...

Great history, beautiful scenery but hellishly expensive place to visit. Not a single caravan park in town that is pet friendly or for that matter, sensibly priced and no public dump point provided.

Hi all In the UK we laugh at the Americans who think they can "do" Britain in 3 days on their 3 week tour of Europe. Now I feel I may be doing the same in NSW. Wife and I are spending 19 days in a campervan this coming October. We will be visiting friends in Berkeley for 2 days so have 17 days to "d...

I have little experience with diesels as the motorhome is my first diesel. I wish to know how to easily make the vehicle undriveable so that if the motorhome was left overnight in a remote location and we took off in the towed vehicle we would sleep better knowing it could not be driven away. In a petrol ca...
