The Grey Nomads Awards 2021 | Nominees, 4th March 2022

The Grey Nomad Awards finalists were unveiled yesterday, recognising tourism businesses that best cater to mature age travellers around Australia. The Grey Nomad Awards, according to Awards Director Kim Morgan, give reliable information that assists senior tourists in making decisions about where to visit, stay, and play. The Awards highlight those operators and locations who are going above and beyond to provide grey nomads an exceptional experience,” Morgan says. “After such a hard two years for the tourism sector and destinations that rely on tourist incomes, all finalists are to be applauded. The number of organisations who submitted more than one category, she noted, shows that these Awards are recognised and make an impact. Unfortunately, not everyone who enters can be successful,” Morgan explained, “since there is both a minimal bar for being considered as a finalist and a maximum of just six finalists declared in any category. By this, we mean that we wish to recognise the accomplishments of all of our entrants, not just these finalists. The Grey Nomad Awards are judged by senior tourism professionals, some of whom have personal experience with the grey nomad lifestyle, thus being selected a finalist has more weight. 2021 Finalists The […]

Tyres – Size, Ratings & Inflation Pressures for Caravans

The below article is provided to us by Colin Young of the Caravan Council of Australia. Tyres play a critical role in determining the Handling and Stability characteristics of all caravans on the road. On a few frightening occasions, the tyres selected by a ‘van manufacturer have been dangerously “under-engineered”, in that their Maximum Load Rating was less than the Maximum Load that the tyres could legally (as per the GTM Rating) be subjected to! In far too many cases, the tyres selected by the ‘van manufacturer have been hideously “over-engineered”, in that their Maximum Load Rating was much higher than the Maximum Load that the tyres would ever be subjected to! While there may be some other opinions on how much a tyre should be loaded to, for caravan tyres it is reasonable to have the maximum Load applied to a tyre, at around 90 – 95% of the Rating. Certainly it should not be around 50 – 60%. “BIGGER ain’t always BETTER”… certainly applies to caravan wheels and tyres. If you are not happy with the way your ‘van handles on the road, or if you have any other concerns about your ‘van’s Tyre Size or Inflation Pressures, […]

Views Sought On The Caravan Industry | ACCC – Australian Competition & Consumer Commission

The ACCC – most pleasingly – is taking a very close inspection of problems in the Caravan Industry… in relation to violations of the Australian Consumer Law. The Commission has issued the following Media Release (178/21): https://www.accc.gov.au/media-release/views-sought-on-caravan-industry The Survey is very easy to complete… with plain instructions and simple questions. All owners who have had “Consumer Protection” problems with their caravan are requested to complete and lodge the “Purchaser Survey“… as per the Media Release. This Project is being taken very seriously by the ACCC, and provides an excellent opportunity for ‘vanners to take practical action to help eliminate the many problems that have caused – and are still causing – costly, lengthy and heart-breaking dramas for many caravanners. In reality, very few ‘vanners who suffer unacceptable non-compliance problems with their ‘van – or are subjected to the refusal by Suppliers to rectify defects, even Major Failures – contact the ACCC. Normally they call their State Fair Trading or Consumer Affairs office for advice. In addition, they usually contact helpful internet Forums or a Consumer Advocate for assistance. The prime Issues covered by the ACL (Australian Consumer Law) are: Section 54 of the ACL is a guarantee imposed by law on a supplier that the goods supplied are of acceptable quality. Acceptable quality is defined in section 54 of the ACL. Section 54 (2) and (3) states that: (2) Goods are of acceptable quality if they are: (a) fit for all the purposes for which goods of that kind are commonly supplied; and (b) acceptable in appearance and finish; and (c) free […]

Travellers With Pets: Their is a Tick Infestation, and Its Only Going to Get Worse

This is an emergency alert for everyone travelling through the outback with their dogs. Ticks are everywhere, and your dog could be carrying the tick-borne disease ehrlichiosis! The NT government has announced that veterinarians across Australia have noticed more cases of dogs infected with this nasty disease – thousands in fact; meanwhile, WA reports seeing increased infections from them also. Tick-infested environments can be found in places like petrol stations, caravan parks, and when camping remotely. Be careful when you are in these places–you need to watch out for ticks! The tick-borne disease ehrlichiosis was particularly common in places like Katherine, on the outskirts of Darwin and around Kununurra in WA, stated Greg Mifsud, national wild dog management co-ordinator at the Centre for Invasive Species Solutions in Queensland. People need to make sure their dogs are protected against ticks. They should use both oral medication and an insecticide-impregnated collar. They should also check their animal often. Never take them to places where there is loose-leaf litter or areas that may have ticks. It’s essential to be constantly vigilant about this problem so it does not spread to the eastern states, he also added. Make sure you check your dogs anytime […]

ACCC Issues Warning Over Deadly Heaters

Australia’s consumer watchdog has once again called for caravanners who may have a dangerous water heater in their leisure vehicle. The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) encourages consumers to look for Suburban-branded dangerous dual fuel electric and gas heaters prior to embarking on post-COVID lockdown holidays. There is a concern that over half off these units can release deadly carbon monoxide odourless during the gas mode operation. Carbon monoxide poisoning is a terrifying and potentially deadly situation. It’s important to be aware of the signs so you can protect yourself from this hazard, as exposure may lead not only to severe chronic illness or injury but also death in some cases! This is quite alarming, as at present there are over 8300 people who have not been able to register their heating units in order for them be inspected free of charge. The risk of failure being so high because of the major defect, the ACCC is concerned that owners may have no idea about the recall and make use of their motorhome or caravan without checking that they are safe to use. “Consumers should not use the affected water heaters in the gas mode under any circumstances, even […]

Myrtle Park Campgrounds, TAS Re-Open for Upcoming Holiday Season

The City of Launceston will reopen the ever-popular Myrtle Park camping site to the public on October 22nd, after a lengthy winter closure. The proposal to establish overnight camping costs at the site at $20 per night per site, up to a maximum of 10 persons, was unanimously approved at today’s ordinary meeting of councillors. This is the same price as it was last year, according to the recommendation. It is with great pleasure that Council has been able to restore access to the park in time for this summer’s school holidays, according to Launceston Mayor Albert van Zetten. “Despite the fact that they will be on-site 24/7, the new operators are looking forwards to a busy summer season. I wouldn’t be surprised if the park was completely booked during the whole Christmas season, given how popular it has proved to be in recent years “Mayor Van Zetten made the statement. This year, the public will have access to 30 campsites, an increase from the previous year’s total of 20. Of them, 15 will be located beside the river. While the hall will be accessible for reservations, the day-use facilities, such as the tennis courts and the kiosk, will once […]

Popular Rapid Bay Campground in S.A Remains Open Despite Complaints

Despite a letter from a neighbouring ratepayer who asked for the campground to be shut down, Rapid Bay Campground, in South Australia will remain open. A vote to keep the campground open and to sign a deal for a campsite manager to operate the land for the next two to three years was held in Yankalilla Council on Tuesday night. Cape Jervis Progress Association chairperson Lauren Barrington was inspired to start a petition after receiving many questions about the campsite’s future in May. Over time, it has received over 9,000 digital signatures. Even after replying to the ratepayers’ legal letter in May, Nigel Morris, Council chief executive hasn’t heard back from them. Mr Morris said that if it wasn’t a campground, the location would be just used for illegal camping. He said shutting the campground would cause more problems than it solves. A letter from a legal firm working for a Cygnet Place homeowner, requesting the campsite to be closed, was received by the council in May. It asked the city council to stop causing or allowing the use of the property for a public campground. Many visitors flock to this well-known vacation destination, and some residents have expressed worries […]

Caravan Park Announces Vaccination Policy, Receives Torrent of Abuse Online

Caravan Issues – Annoying & Continuous Defects Causing Problems for Van Owners

The below article is provided to us by Colin Young of the Caravan Council of Australia. It is most disappointing to continually hear of the same type of Design and Quality problems still being detected by ‘Van Owners‘. Colin Delves Into the Issues It can only be hoped that the new requirements – as legislated in the Road Vehicle Standards Act – will help to prevent these defects from continuing… but as is now well-known, not all of these requirements will apply to all caravan manufacturers… especially the smaller manufacturers who are highly disproportionately represented in the number of problems reported. It seems incredible that all caravan manufacturers are not required to abide by the same stringent obligations, as mandated for motor vehicle manufacturers. Again, it can only be hoped that Government business auditors – and vehicle inspectors – will concentrate on quickly and properly ensuring that the reasons for the defects occurring in the first place, will be acted on, and that production Inspection Check-Lists will double-check to ensure that the issues have indeed been resolved. The List The List of continuing annoying – and often serious – defects that are causing problems for ‘vanners – roughly in the […]

More Community Events Being Cancelled for 2021

Covid 19 just keeps on rearing its head all around Australia, and in turn, cities and regions are having to cancel events, that bring in huge amounts of tourists and tourism spend. Multiple Events Being Cancelled The rising spread of the delta strain of Covid is once again causing states to restrict movement and force lockdowns around Australia. This is in turn, is causing many Towns and Regions around Australia, to cancel events. August alone has decimated regional events, with over 30 iconic events scheduled all around Australia to be reschedule to later in the year or altogether cancelled until 2022. Probably the most iconic upcoming event, the ‘Melbourne Cup of the Outback’, The Birdsville Races has become the latest casualty being cancelled for the second year in a row, now being rescheduled until 2022. With the QLD Government’s recommendation to refrain from travel from the recently lifted lockdowns, the event organisers made a call as the risk was simply too great. There was an air of excitement for the Birdsville Races on the back of the successful ‘Big Red Bash’ held nearby earlier this year in July. Over 10,000 people ventured to the foothills of the Big Red Sand […]

Caravans and the Overtaking Dangers by the Caravan Council of Australia

The below article is provided to us by Colin Young of the Caravan Council of Australia. There are too many serious accidents – and frightening incidents – involving caravans attempting to over-take another vehicle on our roads. Car & Caravan over-taking another vehicle Safety is by far the most important consideration when towing a caravan. You must have sufficient power available to accelerate the car-caravan combination at a reasonable rate, and to maintain areasonable speed when climbing hills. It is vital that you are able to accelerate quickly to get out of trouble, and especially to avoid getting into trouble, for example when over-taking another vehicle. It is also vital that you are able to stop at a reasonable rate… safely, and in a straight line. With so many significant variables involved, it is not possible to provide a definitive procedure to determine the overall distance required for over-taking, for every tow-vehicle – caravan situation. Risking your life – and that of your passengers and other road-users – to save a few seconds can come with enormous risks… are you prepared to pay this horrendous price??? The most important aspect is that the driver must have good eye-sight… especially for the perception of distance on the road. The No: 1 […]

More Rejection of Free Camps – The Saga Continues

Given the current situation with COVID-19, now has never been a better time to pack up your things and explore our big backyard that is Australia. Although now it feels as if low-cost or “free camping” may becoming a thing of the past, with more and more councils rejecting proposals put forth for free camping and low-cost campgrounds. Being forced to close up or shut down and no longer being available for use for those looking to stay away immersed in nature with an authentic brief camping experience or stopover. Many low-cost campgrounds around Australia face the same problem- not knowing what their future holds. Recently Albany, has been dismissed from a free campground proposal in the CBD. Albany, one of WA’s most popular tourist destination, has recently voted against plans to offer a free camping area in the CBD and become an “RV friendly” town, claiming it is “bad for business”. The ACCWA (the Association of Caravan Clubs of WA) recently had their proposal rejected by the Albany council at their monthly meeting over concerns free sites within the CBD would hurt caravan parks financially. Within ACCWA’s application, they stated that RV status would mean providing appropriate parking, amenities […]

Camping and Caravanning is Booming, More Aussies Hitting The Road, Than Ever Before

In 2020, international borders closed due to the global pandemic, dramatically limiting the ability of Australians to travel. As lockdowns slowly open up, more people are hitting the roads like never before. Now the interstate borders have eased restrictions, domestic travel is on the rise again, along with the purchase of new and used caravans, motorhomes, camper trailers and RVs. If you’ve been considering making an RV purchase or scheduling a family road trip, there are a few things you should keep in mind. Increased Domestic Travel With international borders closed, more Australians than ever are taking to the road and planning domestic road trips. In fact, 67% of Australians are more likely to consider an rv or camper trailer purchase now than they were in the past. Holidays are an Australian national passtime and the holiday overseas is now an option that most are opting out of. Hence, the increased surge of camping and caravanning. The purchase of RV’s create an individual, safe, bubble for families to live in on the road. There’s no need to expose yourself to viruses by flying or utilizing mass transit when you can instead hit the road in your own vehicle. Planning out […]

Camping Restrictions for the Easter Period

Easter is one of the busiest periods for camping and caravanning in Australia. This time last year, the whole country shut down all campgrounds and caravan parks. Chaos ensued as a lot of holiday makers preparing for the Easter break, had to cancel bookings and prepare to hunker down. Those who were already travelling on the road, where thrust into total confusion, as states shut borders and were found stranded. Covid-19, 12 Months On Things look a lot different 12 months on. Whilst all states have lifted camping restrictions, there are still some rules in place for the Easter period. Once of the more stricter states on Covid-19 restrictions is perhaps Queensland. The Premier, Annastacia Palaszczuk announced easing restrictions to camping, which we covered in a previous post. All in all, it is looking like a normalish Easter break (touch wood) barring any catastrophic Covid outbreaks. However, be mindful of each state’s restrictions on camping. Victoria has announced eased restrictions as of the 26th March as well, with increased numbers of people allowed to gather in public places up to 200, which is good news for camp grounds and caravan parks.

For anyone thinking about a Queensland island getaway, there’s no need to go to the far north of the state; there’s also a great southern option—North Stradbroke Island. Also known simply as ‘Straddie’, the island is located less than 40 km from the centre of Brisbane, near enough to the city, Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast for anything from a day trip to an overnight or longer stay. Why go to North Stradbroke? While some may think mainly of water activities when they think of an island, North Stradbroke offers a range of activities to suit a wide variety of tastes. Yes, there are plenty of water-based things to do, including swimming, boating, fishing, surfing, snorkelling and scuba diving. But there’s plenty to do on land as well. If you like walking, there are beaches, bush and towns to explore. You can also go 4-wheel driving or cycling, play bowls, take a tour or relax with some yoga, just to name a few options. Wildlife is abundant on and around the island. Birdwatching opportunities are plentiful, and the island is also home to many mammals, including koalas, kangaroos, echidnas and bandicoots.

Queensland Eases Camping Restrictions in Time for Easter

Additional easing of COVID-19 restrictions is evidence that life and the economy are beginning to return to normal. Although the pandemic is not over, it’s possible to see minor signs of light at the end of the tunnel. Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk is beginning to relax some restrictions throughout Queensland. Although coronavirus is still present, it appears to be less prevalent than six months to a year ago. Some Queensland public hospitals remain on code yellow, and mobile coronavirus testing vans are still operating in Far North Queensland. These hospitals help to treat individuals in Indigenous communities, providing them with necessary medical care. On the other hand, in many parts of Queensland, restrictions are beginning to relax just in time for Easter weekend and school holidays — and residents couldn’t be happier about the situation. Easing From 12th March Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk has relaxed COVID-19 restrictions beginning from the 12th March, increasing indoor gathering restrictions from 50 to 100 people.

The obvious short-comings of Government Regulatory control “systems” are a major reason for the problems being faced by many caravan owners and potential-buyers. This will be addressed in Part 3 of the “Status” article. Part 2 covers the issues that Caravanners need to diligently address so as to prevent, or at least minimise, the risks – in order to better-protect themselves – from suffering the trauma and expense of having major problems that turn their travelling dreams into nightmares.

Beautiful Burra

Not previously having heard of Burra, our original plan was for a quick stopover on our way to the Flinders Ranges, instead, we were pleasantly surprised with all that this small town of 2000 people had to offer. For us, our overnight stopover turned into a 3 night stay as we found there was more to this area than we first thought, making it an ideal location for Campers and Caravanners to base themselves and explore the region.

Caravans, RV’s & Kerbside Parking

Boats, trailers, and caravans could soon be effectively banned from being parked in Gold Coast streets. This is under a radical plan to free up more kerbside parking for cars. Broadbeach councillor Paul Taylor, who moved the motion in Council said the issue was “becoming a joke”. “We need those spaces … the kerbside is not a storage place.” The council has received a flood of complaints from neighbours with claims the unpowered vehicles are basically being “stored” free of charge on public roads. The council has now launched an investigation. Gold Coast City Council has now launched an investigation into how it deals with boats, trailers and caravans. Also could limit how long they can be parked in suburban areas to just one hour. That would bring them in line with vehicles longer than 7.5 metres. Buses and trucks for example, which can’t be parked for more than an hour. “As far as I’m concerned, if you’ve got a boat, trailer or caravan – you either store it at home or in a storage shed … or leave the boat in the water,” Cr Taylor told 9News. Recreational fishermen say a one-hour limit on boats could force some anglers […]
