Was anyone else driving with their van today? We found it to be a terrible day for pulling the van. We were travelling in gusty winds, sometimes a tail wind , sometimes on the side, sometimes a head wind. The farmers knew there was rain coming (it has since been pouring since we set up) and were sowing the...

It's starting to get lonely down here in Victoria. Our days are filled with seeing people before they head off North or West.

We had some heavy wind at Streaky Bay a couple of nights ago, and as always when the winds come up, the first thing we did was roll in the awning and put everything away that might blow about. During the night the wind became much stronger, the caravan was being buffetted and the roar in the trees overhea...

Well this trip so far has added to our log of 'experiences'. After a week of waiting for new springs for the caravan, the problem didn't seem to be completely resolved.
