Wolvi Grove farm stay
App

New Listing: Wolvi Grove, Queensland

Who doesn’t love a farm stay? Our newest listing is at Tagigan Road, Wolvi (next door to Cooloola Berries), 28 km north east of Gympie. Owners, Julie and Tony, say their 40 acre working avocado farm has some remnant forest and you might encounter some kangaroos, wallabies, echidnas and even koalas. It is also a haven for birdwatchers. Guests must be fully self-contained as there are no facilities – BYO portaloo! An extra bonus comes with Wolvi Grove; not only are you camping beside an avocado orchard, but can walk a few hundred metres with direct access to a farm

Are you fireside in Autumn
App

Are you fireside in Autumn?

Relaxing scene, isn’t it?  This was our view for three nights at Carlo Point, Rainbow Beach. We knew we’d be hard put to get away for Easter, so snuck off the previous weekend with another family for some R&R. There’s nothing like it, is there? Camping just brings out the best in us. I road tested the Thermos Cooker (thumbs up, all around), learnt a new card game and delved a bit further into my book. We’ve popped this photo on our Facebook page on April 15. One thing we love is hearing from all of you about the places you go,

Heatley explains to App owners why the book is still a asset for your camping trips!
App

What benefit is there to owning the books, when you already have our App?

We received this question today from Gina, who has our App: What benefit is there to have the books when all that can be downloaded for offline content? Here’s our answer, we hope it may help with your decision…. It is a personal choice. I like having the flexibility of both when we hit the road. For me, even though I LOVE our App, nothing beats a paper map to follow when I travel. Although you can download maps on the App to work offline, the books are an excellent back-up. How do we use both the App and the

March wrap up

We’ve found a few new campsites lately! Don’t worry, we’ll be sure to spread the word on our blogs in coming months and add into the App. Oh my goodness, word of mouth must be working because we are selling double the number of Apps now. Thanks for the great reviews on how easy it is to use. The new CAMPS 10 and CARAVAN PARKS 5 book sales are also keeping us hopping. We stopped in to an ARB Accessories Open Day at Maroochydoore, on the Sunshine Coast last week, and saw some very appealing rigs. It makes me look
