The Australian Capital Territory has more to offer than just an insight into the political workings of the country, although it does this well. It's a place where Australia's history comes face-to-face with architectural modernity. See Parliament, the national institutions... click for more

Visit South Australia for its spectacular scenery, fishing, flora, fauna and the national, conservation, recreation parks that make up over 20% of the state and legendary wineries. Names like Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale and Coonawarra are recognised internationally. click for more

Victoria packs a lot within its boundaries. The Murray River along the northern border, the Grampians National Park is a must for nature lovers and the spectacular coastline takes in the Great Ocean Road, Phillip Island, Wilsons Promontory and Gippsland Lakes. click for more

Tasmania boasts stunning and often remote World Heritage Areas. There are fertile plains and open bushland, mountains and valleys, rare flora and fauna, rustic ports and historic villages all crammed into a comparatively small area so self drive touring is ideal. click for more

Trip to Bruny Island and Dover Area

Bruny Island gssmith | 2010-08-29 | Took our motor home away for three days of utter bliss. Went to Bruny Island for two nights, and Dover area for another two nights. This neck of the woods is just awesomely beautiful.....there isn't enough adjectives to describe how much beauty! As we are self contained, we stayed in caravan parks....needed to use electricity for the heater, as it does get cold down here in the south. But oh so worth it. | read more

Self Contained Transport and Accommodation in One

DOVER AREA gssmith | 2010-08-29 | Your transport and accommodation in one, what could be better than that. Go anywhere, stop anywhere.....only you dictate what you want to do and where. Complete freedom to do as you please. Not confined to being a place by a certain date, so if you like a place, you can stay extra time. Likewise, if you dont, you move on. Having solar panel and 12vlt expands where you can go too. | read more

Paradise Motorhome Hire - Pet Friendly

Paradise Motorhome Hire gssmith | 2010-08-29 | PARADISE MOTORHOME HIRE has just had their first booking enquiry about bringing the family pet on holiday. Which opens up a whole new clientelle. This booking enquiry expressed that the dog was 'very small and very clean'! For that reason, we chose to take the booking. Its lucky that PARADISE MOTORHOME HIRE is self sufficient for 'free camping', as I am not sure that many caravan parks take pets??? | read more
