Not proud of it, but I am prone to an opinion or two when provoked. but I've sat back and asked myself "Sal, what do u want next in life". I want to hit the road, that's what. My last short trip away was 'the...

The CP is clean and friendly. $25pn, and the owners are more than happy to assist with anything one may need, stay for 7 and pay for 6 deal also. They have been generous enough to open the rec room for me so I...

I'm having a hard time deciding what tent to buy and realised one of my preferred options may be too difficult to erect by myself. I've been looking at the OZtrail 10x8 Canvas Cabin (47kg) The instructions say to have a friend help raise each side of the tent. I was wondering if anyone has assembled one so...
