Pre Trip Checks
Only one example … Check your wheel nuts before you go. Not to tighten them more, but that you can undo them.
Sometimes after a service the wheel nuts may be done up too tight using air tools such that you can’t undo them.
You Lucky B……. (in a caring sharing way)
I posted this on another blog site a while ago, but as a good mate and equally good mate-ette (think I just made up a word) are planning their great escape, I thought I’d drag it out again. I referred to them as our caravan term of endearment and got a strange look … heads up this contains a swear word (to some).
Was it ‘Living The Dream’, ‘Jealous’, ‘Good Onya’ or ‘Courage’? Nah I reckon … (read more)
Caravanning With Kids
We’d like to introduce Adele, Wayne, Ashlee & Kate … here’s their story.
We’re also happy about them joining us, as we get Australia On Track!
Camping with food & travelling with meat
From my experience as a butcher and as a camper, it depends on how long you are traveling for. First of all, make sure you have a fridge that works well, especially in hot weather conditions.
Social Media and Camping
Is social media for you, maybe not, personally I’m up for it, but I’m not addicted (I just check regularly) and remember with everything ‘mobile’, there are times and places for everything.
Five million stars or five stars?
So many stars that you could almost touch (they seemed that close), so bright, different shapes and sizes, shooting stars, satellites and an occasional plane in the distance (was it a plane).
Caravan Renovation
If you are planning a reno or rebuild, please make sure that everything you add doesn’t take your van over it’s legal limit.
If any electrical, gas or plumbing work is required, get it done or signed off by a licensed professional.

We liked the motorhome, it was surprisingly easy to drive and park and the fuel consumption was pretty good. One of the downfalls was that we tended to stay indoors more than we would in our van, maybe because we didn’t want to setup a lot so we could get away easier every day.
Lake Boga – Drive By – Think Again
Normally I would have driven past, but this time we noticed the signs and made that turn in, if we didn’t we wouldn’t have found an amazing feature of this tiny township.
Caravan park or a free camp site?
Councils vary in attitude, some welcome campers and some don’t. Those that do, must consider it a great tourism and economic boost for their communities.
Lakeside in SA – Top Spot
As I write this I’m listening to the sound of a plane in the distance, or a boat on the river (about a kilometre away), but that’s about it, the sound of the abundant birdlife and even better the sound of silence is amazing.
Camping in Winter
The air is crisp and clean, you can have a camp fire (my favourite part), cook in a camp oven, enjoy some great South Aussie warming beverages of the red variety and as usual, solve the problems of the world.
