Regression. That's the only word that seems to fit and, y'know, the more I think of it the better it fits. We have just come back after a week in what was once home. 'Civilisation'. 'The Big Smoke'. Melbun... Please don't get me wrong, you residual Victorians, I'm not knocking the place; in point of fact...

Can't recommend this caravan park highly enough, it is in the beautiful south west of WA surrounded by huge trees, next to the river, with lots of lovely bush walks. The facilities are clean, the kitchen is very basic, the town is just a stones throw away, with a new bakery opening up and lots of friendl...

I've spoken about the Gatton-Clifton Road before, but I thought I'd make it a topic. It's a much easier route if you want to come to the eastern side of the range, without using the Pacific Hwy etc. There's also the Esk-Hampton Road, but I haven't been that way for along time, and not with the van, so I ca...

A LIFESTYLE CHANGE - PART TWOThe advice from Police was for further progress by four-wheel-drive vehicles only... and here we were on public roads, a highway, nonetheless.

Found this lovely farm that produces home made food eg yummy scones, cheesecake, cheese and bacon tear parts and more. Grow olives and Muntries which are a native berry that is grown to SA. You can get your mobile home and caravans in there if you want to stop and have morning tea. Prices are really r...

Checking over my poptop just prior to commencing a trip down south a few months ago I was happy with the condition of the wheel bearings, springs, and tyres, well the inspection of the tyres involved taking each one off and checking the tread depth and the wall condition, on both sides, somewhat surpri...

A LIFESTYLE CHANGEWe were tired. An overnight trip on the Spirit of Tasmania II had provided only limited sleep. That was due to the people in the next cabin seemingly partying on until after 2:00am... and a partner who said No, leave it be, don't cause problems. Morning arrived, we were off the ship, h...

I would thoroughly recommend this CP. It is quiet, peaceful, well set out and clean. There is a lovely lawned area where all the vans etc are lined up around in a semi circle kind of configuration, beautiful creek walks, and the BBQ area is something very different. Saturday night a huge fire pit is set g...

We have just purchased a caravan shade annex from Campshades (Julie Dunkley), service is excellent, she is very precise regarding measurments and the finished product is A1.

Tavern on Turton - delicious Garfish and Squid meal for $22.

Bread cobs, buns, and cakes baked daily, open 7 days, has petrol and diesel. Great little CP beside the je...
