Touring is thirsty work!.
Our local Woolworths is not the first place I think of when it comes to camping gear. So I was rather surprised to see camp chairs, fly veils and heavy duty tents pegs amongst the offerings in one aisle. The tent pegs will make a great addition to our swag kit and fly veils will …
We were rather excited to see the Darche Dusk to Dawn 1400 in stock at Snowys at Brendale. We had only been down there from Central Queensland a couple of weeks ago. After visiting 3 camping stores including Snowys, 2 TJM stores and ringing another 7 other TJM stores, it seems no one had the …
The Timber and Steel Cafe is the in-house cafe of The Carriers Arms Hotel Motel. It’s a convenient place to relax after you check in to your room. The pizzas they do are fantastic and the service is pretty good. Beers are cold, so what more could you want. Overall 5/5 Location 5/5 …
The Lake Dunn Sculpture Trail features 40 sculptures created by local artist Milynda Rogers. Each sculpture depicts an animal or aspect of Outback life, ranging from a koala in a gum tree, an emu and her chicks and jackaroos on horseback. There are also many natural attractions along the route, so make sure you check …
This motel has 2 sections a newer part and the older part that was probably part of the pub complex. We booked via Booking.com so we were in the older part of the motel. It is ok for the money and the pub is maybe 50 metres away so that’s always a bonus. Overall score …

Why a swag? The choice was easy as swags have advantages over traditional tents including an inbuilt mattress (thickness is generally between 50mm to 70mm), they are quick to set up and you can fold back the canvas for a view of the night sky. I read several reviews on line from the following sites: …
We’ve done a bit of touring around Queensland and New South Wales over the past 28 years. Over the last 10 we have started stopping at the local pubs in country towns for a ‘coldie’. So when I seen a book called Australian Bush Pubs, I just had to buy it. Upon opening It we …
The Rocks in Sydney is one of our favourite destinations in Australia. From Circular Quay, the Harbour Bridge, the Opera House and so many places to have a cold beverage makes it a great place to spend a few days unwinding. When we go to The Rocks we stay at The Rendezvous. They have rooms as …
Small Rooms This motel is clean and very tidy, the downside is it has no lift and the rooms are tiny. Being in The Rocks it is an ideal location to plenty of restaurants and pubs. That said though I’d have to think hard about staying again the room we had was a shoe box. …
