Thanks to Grey Nomad's brains trust, I now have our road trip route sorted to Lightning Ridge. We'd now like to plan a route back to the coast before heading back to Sydney. We had a brief stay in Armidale last year and would like to go back and follow the Waterfall Way to the Coast. I'm also thinking that Co...

A question I would really appreciate some feed back on. Is, or has, anyone towed a van with Subaru Outback? I realise only 2000k , or 2400k with new xt, but am curious if we need to go to larger vehicle. We are not planning to be on the road full time and will only be towing 16ft poptop.

Stopped at Coonalpyn recently. All paid by card. Brilliant. Only $15 for power - goes off at 11 am the next day. $5 for the washing machine, and dryer - both card swipe payments. I had trouble with the dryer - paid 3 cycles and the clothes still damp so emailed the Shire. They have refunded the money for me....

He is also a really nice bloke to boot. Fitted our new aircond. to the van last year and the new one (warranty) this week. Unit ar...
