Loving white towels, I naturally took them away with us to the RED centre. Big mistake, no matter how well we washed they appeared grubby and particularly after using some caravan park machines. I will now be buying rust coloured towels for future trips, but one good thing has come out of our trip, is...

We are heading home to Brisbane soon to meet our new grandson and looks like we will need to store our van for a couple of weeks. Does anyone have anywhere they would recommend in the Brisbane area (preferably in the northern suburbs but not detrimental). Cheers MadenAus

If, like me, your RV has duel rear wheels fitted, it is adviseable to fit these sensors on the valves. This idea is so that you won't run a flat on a drive wheel, and possibly not notice it, 'til it is too late. They come in packs of four, or six, and have a small readout panel that sits on the 'dash, keeping you...

Don't buy fruit and veg in Mildura and think that because it is sealed (and that it says it is ok) you can take it in SA, because you can't and if you buy any fruit and veg in SA keep your receipts.

Just spent the long weekend in Metung, Bairnsdale and surrounds. The floods (although not as bad as up North) have caused some drama.
