With winter not far away – we’re noticing many more people are worried about how they’ll cope when they’re stuck at home with a fridge full of food and Uber deliveries only a phone call away.
Kaye managed to momentarily put Caitlyn our resident APD… that’s short for Accredited Practising Dietition, Caitlyn Henderson from Healthy Lifestyles Australia in Toowomba Qld - on the spot recently with this question….

With plenty of families AND grey & blonde 'nomads' hitting the road these days there's been a marked increase in the number of caravans, campervans & motorhomes being stolen. Chains, tow-ball locks and wheels clamps might deter a few low-lifes but what about a GPS?... If your much loved (& very expensive) investment goes missing you'll know about it right away plus you;ll be able to notify the police exactly where it is in real time...

There's caravan parks... and then there's the Secura Lifestyle Magnetic Gateway Townsville QLD in the suburb of Cluden! - We spent a couple of nights here on our way north and really enjoyed the 'community spirit' of the park especially @ 5pm 'drinkies'. We also managed to chat with the new managers of the park and had a lot of fun chatting with some of the 'residents'.

After a recent discussion on ABC Radio Pilbara about the huge number of caravans on the road and truckies being concerned about the safety of travellers as well as themselves, breakfast radio host Kelly Gudgeon interviewed Ken Wilson from the Truck Friendly program to find out more about what the program is doing about road safety generally and what it's aims and objectives are.

As a kid did you ever want to just 'run away' and join the circus? - Well that's pretty much what Gai Weaber-Buchal did. But this was no ordinary circus. This was the famous 'Ashton's Circus' !

We met Gai in Hervey Bay QLD on one of her stopovers while she's travelling Australia by herself in a mobile home, Gai is not only funny, she has a unique way of telling her story we know you'll enjoy.

You’ve probably gathered by now we love people telling us their stories and while we were staying in Cairns FNQ, KB just happened to bump into a mum and her two kids soaking up the atmosphere beside the turtle sanctuary at the Cool Waters caravan park where we were staying at the time…Michelle is a natural story-teller -- but be prepared to learn there’s a scary side to in the paradise which is Cairns – don’t say you haven’t been warned!
