A short history lesson
(Preview)
Taking tours out of Melbourne in the 70's, when travelling north, I would always drive into the tiny SA town of Terowie. I would stop at the end of the main street, ask the passengers to leave the coach and walk the full length of the towns main street. Then I promised to buy a drink for the first passenger t...

Finished the first trip
(Preview)
I didnt manage to catch up with John - seemed to be following him everywhere - but I too have stopped for a bit. Did 10,000 km over 64 days from Perth to MacKay to stay with family for a while. Enjoyed it so much that I am going to keep going late August. I agree about taking more time and staying a while. Will a...

Pit Stop Awning
(Preview)
Hi All, I have just bought a "pitstop car awning". I have a Starwagon and while looking through the junk mail came across this. It looks like a small tent that goes on the back of 4wd with suction hooks. I will try it on my side door. Not sure that it will last a long time but if it fits and works as w...

Please do not spoil nearly every topic that comes up
(Preview)
Why is it that every time anyone tries to have any kind of normal chat about any topic on any forum someone come alongs with a flippant comment and then all the other comments that follow are likewise and then that is the end of another discussion. Why can't anyone have a conversation in peace?.Sad...

Where is Dawa?
(Preview)
Has anyone heard from Dawa. She hasn't been on here since 26th June and she hasn't posted in her blog since 25th June. That is very unlike her. I know she was camping alone in NSW in a fairly unknown area. I hope she is ok. If anyone has any news please post.

I blame it all on Mr Mcdowell. He was our history teacher when I was just a 10 yr. old, in fourth class. The detail he went into about Australia, and it's many explorers fasinated me. John McDowell Stuart, Capt. James Cook, Blaxland Wentworth and Lawson, John Sturt, Burke and Wills, etc, etc, etc. Even...

Tyre checks
(Preview)
No doubt, a lot of GN's have vehicles with duel wheels on the rear. If you are going to get a flat at the back, you can bet it's an inside one. I have seen a number of cases where folks who were just getting started on the road, puzzled about how to know if the "insider" had sufficient air in it. Othe...

If you are in the far north, and planning to travel down the west coast, there is a lot to see in the south west. However, the point I am making is, that many travellers get the impression that the Nullabour plain is a long and boring drive. No way. The tourist office in Norseman stock a wonderful book calle...

Had a week in Menindee lakes out of Broken Hill; lovely place. Must say Tim and his partner at the Menidee caravan park (5 kms out of town towards broken Hill) looked after me very well. Always had a smile and gave me some BIG yabbies when I left. Recalled to Adelaide. About to leave again, this time no towi...

Ideal vehicle for travelling the lap
(

)
(Preview)
Having read John's (yeoeleven) travels with a Hiace, I wonder what the ideal vehicle for a single to travel extensively is? Taking into account fuel consumption and having access to out of the way places, not heavy off road. Also the ease of fitting into camp spots. Would love to hear what others thin...
