Useful websites for nomads
Permalink  

As we have many new nomads that have joined our forum recently I thought it would be a good time to repost a list of what I consider to be very helpful websites. I'm sure you will find one or 2 that will be of help.

Cheers

Jon

 

http://www.racq.com.au/travel/Maps_and_Directions/trip_planner
Use this for planning distances & times to travel in a day

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
http://myparklist.com/default.asp?iPostID=&pageAction=BinnenI&iId=GJFIFJ
Very helpful site with the best & most comprehensive Australian caravan park reviews which members can add to if they wish   (membership is free with no strings attached).
Also, for a good list of caravan parks, try this:  
 http://www.goseeaustralia.com.au/caravanparkspage.asp

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
http://ozcamps.net/index.php?option=com_wrapper&view=wrapper&Itemid=29
 Handy site for bush camp sites (I use in conjunction with the Camps 5 book).


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
http://www.sanidumps.com/sanidumps_australia.php

http://www.toiletmap.gov.au/find.aspx?type=caravan
Two toilet dump point finder sites to choose from.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
http://www.toiletmap.gov.au/
In need of a toilet stop in a hurry? This site should help

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
http://weather.ninemsn.com.au/
Type in the town on the left of the page & get a full weather report & 7 day prediction.
For a more comprehensive report   http://www.bom.gov.au/   is the place to go

http://reg.bom.gov.au/climate/averages/wind/selection_map.shtml
towing a caravan etc you often need to know the wind speed & direction

http://www.bom.gov.au/weather/radar/index.shtml
Great map to see what rain is falling where & work out how long till the rain reaches you

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
http://tides.willyweather.com.au/
Tides for you fishermen & women

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
http://australia.gov.au/topics/australian-facts-and-figures/school-term-dates
Always handy to know the dates of the individual state school holidays to avoid those increased crowds & prices.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
http://www.mydr.com.au/
Good Aussie site for health issues

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
http://www.ebroadcast.com.au/tv/
Australian Television Guide.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
http://ozcamps.net/test/tvstations2.html
Good site to check if a place has a TV  antenna or Telstra aerial (for phone or internet) nearby & in which direction.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
http://www.tropinet.com/uhf-repeaters/search.html
Good site for UHF repeater aerials for your UHF radios

Must have done something wrong before as I went back to it and put my password in again and this time it worked.

Thanks Jon for your help
