Here we are on the Sunshine Coast. We had organised to house sit for Feb/March but that has been cancelled (we cancelled as we didn't agree with some details of house sit which we were not given before). But now we need to find a preferably free camping spot to fill in those 2 months without having to g...

They are a good $10 cheaper than the caravan shop ones and as we need two I could save over $20. We do have a water filter in the van and I also thought I would probably carry spring water for the ket...

Poppy's friend had his caravan stolen yesterday from his driveway. The caravan was going to be traded in on a new van like our own. The friend usually puts a lock on the hitch to stop it being towed away, but as it was being traded the next day he thought he wouldn't do it... The van was found a short time late...
