Does anyone know if there is phone & internet access at Boynedale campground? Also where is the new access road into the campground on the Calliope River near Gladstone? I think you can't go across the old bridge since we were there last. Any advice appreciated.

Can anyone tell me how this tollway thing works? I apparently passed through a tollway in Melbourne on 03/10/11, and again through the same tollway on 07/10/11. I didn't have an etag at the time. I have the photos so I know it's me, but the odd thing is I never received a bill. In fact I heard nothing unti...

So... how much would one expect to negotiate off a new or used caravan?? Can one be TOO cheeky??? Made an offer on a van today...about $3,500 off the asking price....he did the usual "going to go call the boss" thing and wandered off for 5 mins.

Hi, Hi, a friend of mine is looking for the address or website of a jackaroo/jillarro school. He knows about Leconfield and the school in Bingara. Does anyone know about other possibilities to do a 4 weeks course. Not like the 5-days backpacker things.
