This is a link to a site that provides maps of the world, in many cases right down to street level.
A great website.

This is good web site devoted to the wonderful Keeshond and we loved the picture.

If you are travelling in remote areas a small EPIRB such as the GME MT310 which is about the same size as your mobile phone is cheap insurance.

This web site RVs is for all Caravan, Campervan and Motorhomers, particularly those who wish to be independent  of formal camping areas, for a while at least.      Maybe you want to keep the costs down or maybe, like us,Sherry, our beautiful German Shepherd. it is also because you travel with your dog.

In fact, the sole reason for start
ing this web site was the problem of where we could go with our dog and sharing this information with others.

This web site is maintained and upgraded as frequently as time permits and has no commercial links with any person or organization.   Neither do I receive any kick backs in any form from any manufacturers or suppliers that may be mentioned on the web site (unfortunately:)  This is an information only web site, we are not trying to $ell you anything.

The aim is to make these pages as interesting and informative as possible and your input will be welcomed.

I hope this site may contribute to encouraging you getting out and exploring this vast wonderful country (with your dog of course).   You can travel for years and you will still only see a small fraction. 

This site c
overs places to go, both destinations and stop over locations,  where you can take your four legged family member.
Only dog friendly sites will be described here.

You are invited to contribute your favourite spots and they will be added to the list.

Sunset camp on the banks of the River Murray at Cobrawonga.

It will also cover how to make your caravan, campervan, motorhome or trailer-camper into a self-sufficient unit so that you can have that independence.
  
We hope you find something useful or interesting here,
best wishes from Ray & Chris.

NSW State Forests



Their facilities and more importantly their attitude to recreational use of the forest areas under their administration should be a model to the other states.

If you have even the slightest interest in the environment and the inevitable adverse  consequences of our collective actions then I urge you to listen to the real experts in this field and not to the majority politicians who can't see past the next poll nor to commercial vested interests.

It is no exaggeration so say that we are on verge of experiencing a world most of us can't even imagine.

Dr David Suzuki is one of the most passionate and knowledgeable advocates of change and highly critical of the policies of many world leaders including our own former PM.

We are warned that we are almost at the point of no return and dismiss the predictions of academics like Suzuki at our peril.

Biodiesel

Biodiesel, what a boon this could be for the environment and for our independence from foreign oil supplies.   If only B100 was readily available to retail customers.

Fuel Adulteration

While on the subject, you must be constantly vigilant when purchasing fuel.

It seems there are still many scumbags out there that sell adulterated diesel and petrol that has been diluted with engine wrecking diesel/petrol substitutes.
Kerosene and heating oil are popular diesel substitutes because there is little or no excise levied on them as with toluene and thinners used in petrol adulteration.
These contaminants are next to impossible to detect other than a laboratory test, the first you will know is when your vehicle splutters to a very expensive halt.

This criminal practice will continue until we get serious and adopt measures like the USA where fuel composition is strictly defined and goal awaits those convicted of this practice instead of the paltry fines occasionally imposed by our half-hearted authorities.

Personally, I only purchase diesel from places that commercial vehicles frequent and avoid the smaller service stations, sorry but I can't afford to risk a $5000+ repair bill especially if I am a couple of thousand Km from home.

So be very, very careful and you will need some luck because if you get caught with a crook brew or a tank full of water, likely as not you will be on your own.   
Nov 06. It was recently reported on a TV current affairs show where a rather astute lady filled up at her local servo and spluttered to a halt just down the road.    She had her car towed to her local dealer and they determined the problem was water, lots of it, in the petrol which caused injector and other related damage.   Despite an avadavat form her dealer/repairer, a report from an oil sampling laboratory and mobile phone records showing a phone call to the tow truck only minutes from the time on her fuel purchase receipt, the oil company denied responsibility.   Nice one, I might stick with BP, Shell or Mobil in the hope that they may be more responsible or am I being too naive ?

Home Brew

For a really great beer, something you can taste as opposed to a bland watery "beer", visit your local home brew shop and get yourself a home brew kit such as a Morgan's or Coopers.

You'll find it very hard to go back to commercially brewed beer.
