I'm not sure about anyone else here, does anyone have an interested in visiting Ghost Towns, those from bygone years or that which have been de-gazetted and don't appear on current maps due to this. Most would know about Whittenoon the old asbestos town (which even though has no services and the signs...

After a recent discussion with a friend about reversing techniques, I thought I'd bring my nomad friends into it. One friend was taught (in NZ, if that makes any difference) to turn with your left arm over the seat and looking to the rear. Although she can also park with mirrors. Another friend is absol...

After spending about 10 days in the Northern Flinders Rangers we are back on line again . We always thought that it was going to be a great travel but we have been blown away by this area. Similar to many parts of the other areas but very different in its own way. We are at Leigh Creek at the moment before head...

I just got back from cruis'n around Batemans Bay, busy busy busy it is. Now what has this got to do with the heading above I hear you ask? Well, 95% of rego plates are from the ACT so I reckon if you want to visit Canberra, this weekend is the time. With all the ships, old and new and the NRL Grand Final in Sydne...

Have been told to use bicarbonate soda. Does anyone know how much & should the tsnks be full?

Here in Batemans Bay. I have full strength wireless broadband cover but there are so many people here it has slowed down heaps since yesterday. More than likely it will stay that way until Tuesday when most people have left the area. I will just have to keep calm I reckon.

We're heading south from Perth (once the rain stops) closely following the coast then crossing the Nulllarbor. Any ideas from you experienced GNs as to best free or low cost caravan sites, and places to see?

Took Myrtle in for a service today after coming back to Biggy for some final chores. He tells me he suspects one of the valves is burnt out. Should be ok for the trip back to Vic so I can get the original people to look into it. What more can I say.

Hi hello hino owners.' I need to purchase some parts for my Hino 145A 1988 vintage but Hino Australia will not even talk to me as I have an imported vehicle.

I had a gander at Jayco's new 28' 5th wheeler today at the Leisurefest at Sandown. Great looking and well set up by both Jayco and IVECO with the dual cab tow vehicle. My concern is the driving licence requirement for this set up. I have heard that the A.C.T. insist on a Heavy Rigid Combination licence for...
