I am curious to see how many members are True Blue Born and Bred Australians, or, like myself wafted in from another country but have decided to hit the road and explore this huge fantastic country that we now call home? The reason I ask is that certainly in the UK, the possibility and even thoughts of hi...

At last today we were officially told how much we would get for our wrecked car. A bit more than we feared we would get but less what it has cost us to replace it. So we have come home with another Suzuki. We still have to get the brackets & braking system put on it so we can tow it with our hitch-n-go. S...

I read with discust that the NSW NPWS are considering the adopting the Qld system of pre-booking on line & paying for campsites before your arrival. So more of buying a pig in a bag, why would you want to book some thing unseen. I see this as being another way of detering people from visiting these are...

Funny thing to think about, but . . . driving from Albany to Perth last week, I suddenly realised that I have not seen a hitchhiker for years. They used to be quite common. Are they still out there? Just idle curiosity. Must admit I would not pick anyone up these days. Cheers, Tony

I wasn't sure where to post this, because it's not my photo, I just wanted to share it because it's so stunning. It's the work of Nicole Bond, and it was shared on Facebook by ABC Western Qld. Put's my photo of the Thomson River to shame!

Any advice appreciated on an up-to-date source for caravan park reports. I have been using Badgers, but it seems the reports are all at least 2 to 3 years out of date. Cheers, Tony
