Why you should use Camp Kitchens
Travelling is all about meeting people and sometimes other travellers are just as interesting as the locals. While on the Capricorn Coast we were entertained on many nights by Dave the bloke who gave us impromptu cooking classes on the … Continue reading Why you should use Camp Kitchens
As the saying goes…
“Stone the crows” they say and is it any wonder. The Australian Raven and Little Raven or crows to most folks are clever birds. We found this rubbish bin in a Maryborough (Qld) park which left me wondering if the crows have now figured out how to use it. Continue reading As the saying goes…
Willy Weather App
Beachcombing requires a sturdy pair of legs and an awareness of tides and that’s where the Willy Weather app comes in. With caravanning when you often find yourself in a different region every other day you need to keep a … Continue reading Willy Weather App
A bang in the night
My favourite time of the day in the caravan is late at night when everyone is asleep. I like to do a crossword or sudoku or a little macrame and just listen to the night noises, the call of an owl, the surf in the distance. Now, just for a minute imagine the sound of a plywood cupboard door slamming. Now imagine that multiplied and echoing around a lightly built caravan (of plywood and thin plastic held together with glue and staples) when a couple of not so happy campers arrive late after a too long drive and start banging … Continue reading A bang in the night
Travel – It should be classed as an addiction
Some of us are nesters and others are born to roam. We like to look over that next hill, just to see what is there. Sometimes it’s more of the same. Sometimes it’s red dirt and mulga to the horizon but other times …well there’s a vista to make your heart swell. Continue reading Travel – It should be classed as an addiction

It’s a Grey Issue
The handling of grey water is a contentious issue for caravanners in this country. Some campgrounds don’t like people to drop their grey water because sullage hoses that aren’t moved regularly can spoil the ground. On the other hand, we’ve seen desert caravan parks that ask visitors to drop their grey water and helpfully move the sullage hoses around their lush lawns and garden beds for us. That said, it was no surprise when I received this text from friends who for privacy’s sake I’ll call Crafty Colleen and Bob the Builder. “We drove into Charleville Bush Camp and a … Continue reading It’s a Grey Issue
Cicada – Redeye
I found this handsome fellow clinging to a signpost beside the Yarra River at Warburton, Vic. He was about the length of my index finger so it’s no wonder that the kookaburra that we’d spotted earlier was having trouble devouring one. Continue reading Cicada – Redeye
Warburton in spring
How long is it since we last visited this part of the Yarra Valley? Quite possibly Queens Birthday 2014 when we stayed with mates at Healesville prior to heading off on our first big trip. The Gulf trip, the one … Continue reading Warburton in spring
