Free camping on our own......
(

(Preview)
I can't believe how many times we have parked up, both in SA and WA and have been the only ones there! From recommended rest stops to free camps, 90% of the time we have been on our own. This wasn't the case at all in NSW or QLD where we had at least one other (usually two or three) campers/caravans/motorhome...

During our travels, we have met quite a few people who have done that (and new 4X4 and caravan to show for it!) but what happens when they get sick of travelling (or just sick)? We have kept our house (renting it out...

Mailbaggers
(Preview)
Has the "Mailbaggers" section been neglected of late? Haven't seen a post for some time now. Has it gone to the nudist beach where Bohemian Gypsy has snuck off to. They have nothing to write on there. Perhaps the terrible trio have hijacked/hacked the mailbaggers 'pooter system. Kevin --...

School holidays broadband speeds
(Preview)
Is anyone else having trouble with broadband speeds now it is school holidays? I used to think it was a myth but am convinced today that it is true. Too many kids using broadband and everything slows down for everyone else.
