I'm wondering what solo travellers do with electronic car keys when swimming. I'm fine with leaving my keys with my towel at the pool, but I did not go swimming at Ellery Creek (outside of Alice) which was a shame. I've not been solo on a coastal trip yet but when I do I will definitely want to go swimming....

I am having a "three quarter life" crisis I think. I have just reached the ripe old age of 75, my wife has decided someone else will offer her a better life & I still have the Wanderlust that I contracted many years ago. With no family to hold me back, I am seriously thinking about getting back "on the W...

I bought a 2x2mt awning for my car after my first solo trip to give, but I find it to awkward to put up and take down on my own. So I've only used it on the odd occasion I have company. The hardest part is trying to roll it back up it's just to heavy. Any suggestions Cheers Lucy

Recently we purchased a Thirsty Nomad water purifier for our motorhome. We are absolutely delighted with it. We have had motorhomes for 20 years now and never found a water filter that worked so well as this one now. We highly recommend to other travellers to do yourselves a favour if you are seeking, l...

I am looking at buying a Sunliner Trex for myself as I do not need anything too big. I thought a full size motorhome would be too stressful as I am on my own. Does anyone own one and if so what are your thoughts or do you have any changes that you would have made in hindsight?

Hi everyone, as soon as I can find someone to stay at and look after my place down here on the S/W corner, I intend travelling north towards the warmth. I choose to travel fairly light in a 4WD, with a few toys and creature comforts and solar powered everything. When passing towns along the way, I sometime...
