Some people really only like to cook on a BBQ when travelling... Fatty steaks, sausages and more.
And while we'd agree all that's very 'yummy' ... are there healthier alternatives that can be included.

Our resident Dietician/Nutritionist Caitlyn Henderson from HealthyLifestyles AU helps us out.

Here in Australia we’re spoilt for choice with so many wineries and distilleries across the country producing exceptional products.

Heeding the call for Aussies to get out and support regional businesses, fellow New Age Tribe caravan social club members Jeanette and Max Schuddeboom headed to the famous Mudgee region in NSW and spent some cash at the Walter Winery.

Welcome to the AFBA’s – the 'Australian Funny Bugger Awards' - we can’t claim credit for the name which came from Ken and Jenny Wilson from the Truck Friendly program but we think you’ll have fun coming up with a funny ditty about caravanning or travelling generally.

So here’s an opportunity to become a legend in your own lunchtime or around the bushfire during Happy Hour – AND – tah dah – an opportunity to pocket a handy fifty bucks if listeners pick you as a finalist in our inaugural AFBAS or Aussie Funny Bugger Awards and a further fifty if your funny ditty, limerick or tune is judged best of all.

You'll be camping in the kitchen
You'll be camping in the kitchen all night long

HER:

Hear me? You won't ever see the dawn

How many hours of driving are too much? – Ken Wilson from the Truck Friendly Education Program has some refreshing ideas.

Hervey Bay on QLD's fabulous Fraser Coast is a 'paradise' for tourists, nomads and holiday-makers with kids wanting to enjoy the ‘Wide Bay’s’ endless safe stretches of beach. Except if your kids have fur.

You see the only caravan parks situated right on the beachfront - and there are four of them - are owned by the local Council and don’t allow pets.

Hervey Bay councillor Jade Wellings thinks that’s not only unfair – she believes the region is missing out on valuable income because pet owners are by-passing Hervey Bay to go elsewhere to get beach-side locations – and she wants to get at least one or preferably two of the council’s caravan parks’ rules changed to allow pets.

But the Council won’t act until it hears via its online survey that people want pet-friendly parks.
We caught up with Councillor Jade Wellings to find out more.

+ HAVE YOUR SAY! +
The general caravan & camping community is being encouraged to participate via Council’s Have Your Say page on its website – www.frasercoast.qld.gov.au/have-your-say - with the survey remaining open until 15 January 2021.

Do you love good food?.... especially in some of our smaller regional areas?... We do!

Lisa Porter who made the move from Gympie a while back has fallen in love with her new home and has created an amazing Instagram page called @hungryherveybay. She reveals her passion for not just food but supporting local businesses in and around the Fraser Coast QLD area - especially Hervey Bay!

Even if you're not a full-time 'nomad', growing your own herbs, spices & possibly some veggies not only adds a bit of convenience to your travels or lifestyle generally but can also help make your 'home on wheels' feel more like home.

Brian caught up with Garden & Sustainability guru Adam Woodhams to find out how we might be able to grow a few of the basics as we travel this great country of ours.
