| 12 Jun 2008 | | Hello everyone my name is Chloe and I have been camping for the first time.
We stayed at Skenes Creek Beachfront Park, probably the only caravan park in Victoria between Geelong and Apollo Bay that allows dogs and camp fires. And it is right on the beach.
We wanted to know where I could take my humans camping and assess the good and bad of that for them and me.
We also tested a new Oztent and tried Ozpig cooking and its capabilities for future trips. |

| 12 Jun 2008 | | Self Leveling Suspension does not transfer weight from the back to front wheels of a tow vehicle.
All it does is level the vehicle. Whatever loads are on the wheels remains the same, and it requires a Weight Distribution Hitch to transfer weight from the back to front wheels.
It is a myth about SLS that a WDH is not required when towing. Today we post comment on SLS and WDH from icon towing equipment maker Hayman Reese - |

Eight cool climate local and regional wineries donated fruit to continue the winemaking tradition of Grampians Estate.

| 27 May 2008 | | GoSee hit the road for 11 days with fuel prices at NZ$1.749 cents a litre and rising in one of the smallest cheapest cars available to Kiwis and did just that.
The Daihatsu Sirion is a different approach for GoSee.
Bred on big vehicles we are a long way from the big six-cylinder sedan hire cars and diesel motorhomes which are our usual choice for long-run touring in New Zealand's North and South Islands. |

Collect a new campervan or motorhome in Australia or the UK, explore the best of both continents, and then take the leisure vehicle back to the dealer/factory to have it shipped to New Zealand.
Once such a touring option was on the wish-list now Barrons and its partner dealers make it happen. |

| 13 May 2008 | | Cooking with the Cobb is like a great love-match it requires patience, technique and understanding.
But like the perfect partner the more time put into the relationship the greater the rewards.
GoSee uses a Cobb modified for boating. This will stimulate the digestive juices of hungry boaties in Australia and New Zealand.
The Cobb is no fast-food speed cooker. The tastes it creates from its recipe book in its eco-oven process must be tried to be appreciated. |

With the hugely successful Victorian Caravan Camping and Touring Supershow at Caulfield attracting more than 61,000 in six days his innovation got a lot of attention.

Kevin Downie of Lake Hume Tourist Park is across it with basic caravan park accommodation which is much better than average as it comes completely self-contained with fine views from the balcony.

| 3 Apr 2008 | | The 2008 NSW Caravan, Camping, 4WD and Holiday Supershow at Rosehill Racecourse (Parramatta, NSW) saw strong interest from visitors but more cautious buying behaviour.

| 1 Apr 2008 | | GoSee is proud to be a sponsor for a pride of white lions. The five Gangsters, as the boys are known, are among the achievements of Mogo Zoo in South Coast NSW. Mogo Zoo's Jonathon Minor says white lions occur naturally in the wild but do not live long lives. White is too conspicuous a shade in their native environment for that. But there are greater dangers to the survival of beautiful animals than occur in the wild. |

| 24 Mar 2008 | | Robbie Burns would be proud to know Eddi Reader.
Not just because Scotland's beloved poet appreciated remarkable women, but Eddi appreciates Burns.
Then the Duhks fitted their fiercely fresh sound to the demands of young and old at the National Folk Festival, Canberra.
Before the audience really knew they had been Duhksed the place was rocking.
Old age and cunning - defeat youth and strength, not this time grandad! |
