We had the misfortune to have our vehicle broken into at a popular tourist spot on the Sunshine Coast. Look out for our great new section... Travellers Tales! "KNOBBIES CARAVAN & CAMPING PARK"
We had the pleasure of calling into the township of Iron Knob SA on our journey to WA in September 2009 at which time we visited the "Iron Knob Information Centre & Museum" - the staff were very welcoming - the Information Centre is well worth a visit and mine tours are also available.. A 36-year-old female had an accident several weeks ago and totalled her car. A resident of Wollongong, NSW. She was travelling between Wollongong and Sydney Canowindra Caravan Park, Canowindra. Canowindra is 33km north of Cowra travelling toward Orange.

On our return home from S.A. recently, we had the pleasure of staying at the "Black Cockatoo Bush Camp", approx. 14 klms from the township of Naracoorte, owned and operated by Ken & Elizabeth Yelland. If you are passing through Yarrum the following Cafe is highly recommended Read the co-ordinator's report A special article from a pair of travelling members. "We would like to thank the organisors for wonderful organisation of the 10th birthday celebrations at Casino Village RV Resort NSW. Sixteen members and two guests arrived at the Marong Caravan Village during the Get-Together and stayed for varying amounts of time due to other commitments It was lovely to be greeted at the Southern Ocean Tourist park by members who had drifted form one caravan club gathering to another! It may be said that the Tumut Showground Get-together was a friendly and happy success With days to spare to travel through the outback from Broken Hill to the AGM at Tanunda, we stopped off at various spots to have a browse around the sites of old settlements along the Adelaide to Sydney railway. Many older Australians tour Australia by road. Hints and tips to stay healthy and fit while travelling. Two years ago sitting under the shelter at the Townsville Showgrounds a member asked the question "why doesn't the club do a trip to Cape York as a tag a long", I think you will be surprised how quick and easy this recipe is to make. Buy either a whole duck and cut it into pieces or you can buy the individual duck pieces. Award-winning touring and training company, Global Gypsies, has added an exciting and very practical - new feature to its website How to solve the problem of tainted water in plastic tanks Interesting sites to visit regarding tyre pressure A link has been added to our links on home page to open up this newsletter A news item from Bernie: Contrary to popular belief, you can't judge a tire by its cover.

The National Get together held in the Yarrawonga Holiday Park brought members from all over Australia together again for what was truly a great rally. The Swan Hill Get-Together was a great success with 35 member units turning up. Another North Queensland Tourist Season is in full swing as there are enormous numbers of caravans and motorhomes travelling around this delightfully scenic part of Australia. The National Get-Together and Annual General Meeting was held in Wagga Wagga N S W from 16 October to 23 October 2007. 31 RVs attended this extremely well organised Get-Together. There was so much to see... An excellent and enjoyable Get-Together was held in Bright. Read more in our news section We were told that it was the friendliest town in Queensland and from our first day there we found that this was correct due to the fact that you walked down the street and every one spoke to you. The Get-Together at Mylestrom was a great success. What a feeling of anticipation, what a wonderful experience, and what better way than to travel with other members of a great Club along the Oodnadatta Track. The Get-Together in Alice Springs was a great success. An extract of a report from Member Aus 025 is on our news page. |
