February 2008

Inside you will find my review on this outstanding park, one stop over I believe will surely set the standard for all RV Parks across Australia. The park offers an atmosphere and ambience that is understanding to the touring lifestyle - friendly camaraderie resulting from a common interest and purpose. This month we also have some interesting articles to keep you up to date. Such as Jayco’s latest Sterling Range of caravans and campers, the latest RV Audio systems from Jensen Marine, as well as a complete list of the 2008 RV Shows throughout Australia. Jim Foster kicks off the year with his article on Electric Bicycles and Chuff Lloyd shows us the Gateways to Barrington Tops.

April 2008

This month there are some great travel stories to enjoy, we take you through some of the best walking tracks in Tasmania, from World Heritage wilderness, to dramatic coastlines, remote mountain ranges and sparkling alpine lakes. Chuff Lloyd explores The Might Macleay with over 80 percent of the Macleay's coastline protected by national parks and reserves this region features rocky headlands and clear, aquamarine tinted waters. Expansive sandy beaches stretch to the horizon, tempting the determined walker and avid angler. Jim Foster continues his travels along the Limestone Coast with Port Macdonnell in his sights. Port MacDonnell itself is only a small fishing village but its long, sheltering breakwater is home to the largest cray fishing fleet in Australia.

Meryl Brown Tobin heads outback to Cawnpore and Lark Quarry in central Queensland, the Cawnpore Lookout is one of the best places in Australia to view mesas which are found only in Australia and South America.

May 2008

Whether entering those golden years of retirement and joining the Grey Nomad Brigade, holidaying with a young family or simply enjoying short weekend getaways. There is no argument that the cost of fuel now plays an integral part of the trip planning process. Let’s face it, fuelling up the Motorhome, 4x4 or family Ford is getting to be a real worry for some Australians. Last month we saw a price increase of around 15 cents per litre overnight with Sydney boasting a whopping $1.50 per litre. There is not much that we as consumers can do, we must simply grin and bear it. However we can do a few small things that will certainly ensure our RV ortow vehicle obtains maximum fuel efficiency.
