Australia and New Zealand have pretty much the same kinds of campers and motorhomes as anywhere else overseas. However, depending on where you intend to travel and what you need from your relocation , it’s a good idea to know what each type of vehicle looks like and what extras they come with. Before we start, here’s a little glossary of terms or rental jargon that will help you out: Berth: for example 2 berth.

RWC New Zealand As the Rugby World cup kicks in, more questions are being raised about whether there will be any relocation vehicles, or any rental vehicles available at all for that matter, and if so from where. To be honest, I really do wish I had a crystal ball (as do many other businesses I’m sure) but I don’t (otherwise I would be filthy rich and not sitting at my desk right now :)). With an estimated 80,000 visitors said to be arriving into New Zealand for the World Cup Tournament, we can only...Read More

Cairns and Darwin are both located in the northern section of the country and are two such major cities that many would like to know how to get from one to the other. It makes sense, after all, to try and hit the two when already in the northern part of the country, a far cry from Sydney and Melbourne. Obviously, the time limited can benefit from a...Read More

Lucky Alice: The next aircraft boneyard!

Posted on July 4, 2011 by noel in News, Transport

Lucky Alice Springs? Not so sure if the locals feel that way. ALICE Springs has been selected to be the first aircraft “boneyard” outside the US. Functioning in the same way as Pinal Airpark in Arizona, it will cover an area of 110ha and will house 300 planes in the Northern Territory, taking planes being decommissioned from service, that have been stripped of all their parts like engines, electronics and wiring to be re-cycled. It will also be a place where aircrafts as big as the A380...Read More
