25.01.2022 Time for some light weekend reading :) Enjoy our new article on some of the dangerous critters to avoid in Australia... LOL http://artni.com.au/australia-dangerous-nah-well-no-not-re/

25.01.2022 Congratulations and thanks to Ballarat City Council http://www.abc.net.au/local/audio/2014/08/14/4067068.htm

22.01.2022 New caravan parks and camping grounds legislation is being developed to replace the Caravan Parks and Camping Grounds Act 1995 in Western Australia. Consultation Paper ‘Proposal for Caravan Parks and Camping Grounds Legislation’ is available for public comment. To assist you with your submission, the consultation paper contains guidance questions. Submissions should be forwarded no later than 1 September 2014.... Follow this link to view the consultation paper, and for more information about sending a submission http://www.dlg.wa.gov.au//Und/CPCG/Consultation_Paper.aspx

19.01.2022 It must be school holidays again... it seems like that is the main time that NSW Byron Council pushes the old "illegal camping" wheelbarrow and takes it out for another spin around the block. Here's a thought Byron... instead of wasting so much time and money by chasing something when you know it is NOT illegal to sleep in your campervan in NSW... Why don't you invest that time and those resources into coming up with a REAL SOLUTION so you don't keep repeating the same old, ...same old??? Oh wait... that's not bureaucracy is it? No. That seems to be all smoke and mirrors, and bluff, and threats of fines. Keep doing it then as it's working well for you so far - NOT! https://www.northernstar.com.au//up-to-160-camper/3231005/

19.01.2022 I've been busy playing with some code and integrating a directory into ARTNI over the last few days... and I think it's looking pretty good! While there's a lot more data to play with yet, there's enough there now to give you a great idea of what's coming :) http://artni.com.au/new-directory-available/

19.01.2022 New article just published... and in time for the school holiday traffic. Hopefully it puts a few of those "myths" to bed... http://artni.com.au/can-you-use-cruise-control-while-towing/

19.01.2022 A brand new, three part series on "Keeping Warm This Winter" is now ready... Gotta love my "winter" thongs LOL Please visit and let us know what tricks you use to keep snuggly! http://artni.com.au/keep-warm-this-winter-follow-the-sun/

19.01.2022 And what a life they have had!!! http://www.stuff.co.nz//couple-who-have-clocked-up-23-year

19.01.2022 Get ready for summer! This is an animation I created this morning using the OCF model charts (from http://stormcast.com.au) which shows the predicted MAXIMUM temperatures for the next week to February 2nd - and PURPLE is BLOOMIN' HOT :) with little relief in sight... If you click through to the Stormcast site, you'll be able to zoom in to your own region and select specific days. Just make sure you select OCF from this line: "Currently displaying forecasts from the OCF model"... http://gph.is/2jjU4zE

16.01.2022 I'll just leave this here.... (head nodding in bewilderment)... http://www.abc.net.au//p/afternoons/backyard-fires/8753834

16.01.2022 Do you need to put your van plans on a diet? Just one of the things I wish I knew more about when I first purchased my van... http://artni.com.au/a-weighty-issue/

13.01.2022 There's a lot of confusion about what's needed for free camping off-the-grid. Here's my setup explained if you're interested :) http://artni.com.au/living-off-the-grid/

12.01.2022 Not good for Crescent Head (NSW) While many push the "economic" benefits of allowing free camping in regional areas... You can really feel the angst from locals about free campers taking over the headland carpark for summer, with a community meeting scheduled for 13 January to look for solutions.... http://www.macleayargus.com.au//free-campers-clog-cresce/ In particular - check some of the posts and comments made to a local FB page about what is going on: https://www.facebook.com/TheCrescentHeadSantaSurf/

09.01.2022 If ever I get back over to WA... this region is worth checking out! And Sean writes a mean article LOL. Ignore that o/s reference - the info is good for anyone visiting the area. HE also wrote another article on the area that was also recently published here : http://justanotherday.westernaustralia.com//eight-margare/ http://www.comeonaussie.com//margaret-river-for-singaporea

09.01.2022 ROCKHAMPTON FREE PARKING "ROBS" VAN PARKS ? Here's the problem... Rockhampton Council works to providing for Freedom Campers... Today, a local Caravan Park uses the local media (The Morning Bulletin) to have a big whinge! This is exactly the sort of thing that ARTNI (that's this group) needs to develop balanced and reasonable responses to :)... Many thanks to Alaine Vick for letting us know about this one.

05.01.2022 Gotta love the new office space with wifi and mobile broadband. Coffee is good too :)

05.01.2022 This looks interesting... The Bush Winch is a light weight self-recovery system for 4WDs and 2WDs. When needed the Bush Winch is simply connected to the front or rear wheels of your vehicle as you chose. With the winch rope attached to the Bush Winch at one end and the anchor point at the other the winch rope winds onto the Bush Winch as the wheel spins.

05.01.2022 Traveling across state borders??? Know what you can and can't take with you otherwise there might be a BIG FEAST at the border checkpoint:) http://artni.com.au/dont-give-pests-a-free-ride/

04.01.2022 Hi everyone... I hope you are all having a great weekend! I've been a little "busy" over the holidays trekking around parts on the NSW mid-north Coast, and have just finished compiling a couple of new posts on the website. There's a couple of Day Trips I have reported on... * In the Willi Willi NP and Wilson RIver... http://artni.com.au/willi-willi-np-day-trip-nsw-mid-north-/ * Reviews of some campgrounds in the Upper Manning River Valley http://artni.com.au/upper-manning-river-valley-camping/ * An outline of my favourite weather service that can amaze my friends with long term predictions LOL... http://artni.com.au/weather-forecasting-services/ * And of course, with a HOT week predicted next week... my top 5 tips to keep your cool while free camping! http://artni.com.au/our-top-five-tips-for-keeping-cool-whi/ Enjoy :)

04.01.2022 Well... our website is finally "live" and we've added some new content. Hope you like what's there :) Here's the first page to be featured, which offers some info and links for newbies on where to find good campsites across Australia. http://artni.com.au/where-to-go-camping-in-australia/

02.01.2022 I'll be up that way shortly... and this sounds like a plan! Great winter offer available until end September 2016 (ex school hols and long weekends). Free powered site near Grafton NSW anyone? :)
