IceMule Classic Cooler Review
While traveling around Australia we use an Engel Fridge setup in the back of the car for our food. Plus we have a big cooler box that we keep bulk amounts of beer in. It’s a pretty good setup, but the one thing we have been lacking is something a little smaller, […]
OzTent King Kokoda Chair LTD Review
While camping or traveling anywhere in Australia, you are going to be spending a lot of time sitting down. You could be sitting by the river bank doing a bit of fishing, maybe you’re sitting around the campfire, or you might be looking up into the clear outback sky at […]
Ryobi One+ Battery Fan Review
Naive Nomads like us go on trips camping around Australia on a strict budget. As a result we stay clear of caravan parks a lot of the time. There are so many free-camps available around Australia. Free camps means no powered sites. And on hot nights, cooling is so very […]
Off Road Drifter Karts / Buggies Review. 200cc 6.5hp
One of the benefits of living in a remote area is the vast amounts of open space all around you. Where we are in remote NT, there is literally millions of acres of cattle stations which are mostly closed and abandoned. As a result many people here have motorbikes or […]
OzPig Review
Campfires are one of the best parts of camping. They provide warmth, atmosphere and something to cook on. My oldies decided to buy themselves an OzPig on a recent trip to Tasmania. This is what my old man had to say about his OzPig… “We first saw an OzPig during […]

Akubra Territory Review
I’ve owned several Akubras. They are a bloody good hat. I wear them until they are full of holes, dirt, blood and sweat. My last Akubra lasted me about 3 years, so you don’t mind paying a bit for them. They are not a cheap hat, but at the same […]
Ryobi RIG1000 Generator Review
Our Engel Fridge is almost an antique, so it uses more power than our deep cycle battery can provide after being charged only while driving. Especially if we stop driving mid afternoon, the fridge has to run non-stop all afternoon, then all night until we hit the road again the […]
Our Vehicle “Ellen”
I guess I’ll start by explaining the name. A few years back all our mates had big fourbies. Nissan Patrols and Toyota Landcruisers. So Jazz named our little Vitara “Ellen” because she wanted to be one of the boys. Ellen is a Suzuki Grand Vitara. She is only small, […]
