| need advice | | happydays future travellers
| By happydays on30/05/2009 8:29 a.m. | |
| | Hi, my hubby & I are thinking about selling up & hitting the road. We are not old enough to retire but want to get out & do what we want to while we still have our health & all is good. We would have to pick up work while we are on the road. Never owned a caravan or motorhome so we are totally naive in that department. Has anyone got any suggestions or advice. We would love to hear from anyone who has or is working around Aus. Any advice at all would be greatly appreciated. Thanks heaps. Maria | | | Comments (22) |

| Just got back from a great holiday along the Great Ocean Road, leaving Sydney NSW for a nice long week off work.
We had a ball Gordon (My partner) and I on our driving trip, staying at different places along the way, first Wagga then Melbourne City then on to Port Campbell and then finally onto a grrrreat B&B that is worth a mention here called Wypinga B&B in Warrnambool, I'm telling you, this place is a nice little unit on the back of a garage on a nice property owned by two people who you would swear were your aunty and uncle in a past life, its fully self contained and the Owners even place tins of food, breakfast and milk and bread in your fridge (not to mention the 2ltr of soft drink) hehe.. I would reccomend this place to anyone and everyone, they even invited us to dinner every night, and because we were in Warrnambool for the Racing carnival, they drove us to the race track and picked us up each day we were there. I went for a great ride along the coastline visiting the Warr ... | | | Comments (0) | More... |

| The Sydney Caravan Show was a great success, increased numbers this year with a total of 78,192 in attendance. Considering the economic climate exhibitors experienced good results. Winners of the Supershow passport competition were announced on the final day of the show, with the major prize of the Golf Bushman Tourer Caravan, plus $2,000 worth of Family Parks stays across Australia, plus CIL insurance being won by Min Bonwick and her partner Frank Johnson of Newport NSW. Matt Hollywood successfully made a caravan dissappear not once, not twice but three times across the show. The next NSW Caravan, Camping, 4WD and Holiday Supershow will be held from 17th to 25th April 2010. | | |

| By Shazzy May on26/02/2009 | |
| | Well I have been very slack indeed in keeping everyone posted with our various adventures we have been busy travelling all around our State and then did a couple of weeks to Tasmania (very beautiful) and we only got to see a small section just loved Port Arthur, we will be going back there one day in the not too distant future to further explore. We recently went to Murray Bridge and stayed (had a swap meet to attend) and as usual we mixed business with pleasure, its quite a nice town and I being a Riverland girl just love the Murray River. Anyway we still have our old Jurgen van but have just also bought ourselves a larger one (12'6") stop laughing it is bigger than our Jurgen and it is a Jayco Freedom Pop Top, we are planning on travelling from January next year (working / holiday) not sure for how long and where we will start, but somewhere cooler for our hot summers, we will work that out in the near future, al lot to plan for the big trip and we still want to do small trips as well. Our next one is ... | | | Comments (1) | More... |
