We leave Brisbane this weekend to travel along the Darling. We are thinking of having a few days in Lighting Ridge. Is it worth the stop. I am betting that it will be " Bloody Cold" out on the outback plains. 8 degrees this morning in Brisbane. That will like summer compared to Lighting Ridge...

Can't find the threads about rear view cams and porta potti cracks so I thought I'd combine the two. My auto sparky fitted the rear view cam yesterday - a wireless one.

As a newcomer to caravan life I have bought a Abbey Spectrum twin axle gmv 1740 and want some advice on the best caravan mover. Is it best to go with all wheel drive or just the two axles being driven. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
