Carbon Monoxide... The Silent Killer - Ken Wilson
8 DEC 2023 · Are you one of the many families, couples and singles currently enjoying a more mobile lifestyle?
Congratulations – we love it it too – and like you we’re constantly learning – for example do you have a carbon monoxide alarm?
We do – but didn’t realise how this invisible, odourless gas can have a delayed impact on a person causing them to crash after falling asleep while driving.
The brave couple who survived the ordeal wanted their tale told in the hopes others would avoid making the same mistake.
Cardwell - FNQ's Best Kept Secret!... Why? - with Colin Oke
20 MAR 2023 · Back in Feb. 2011 a Category 5 cyclone called Yasi all but demolished the beautiful town of Cardwell in far north QLD - gateway to Hinchinbrook Island.
It's taken many years to get back to almost resembling its former self but there's still more to be done. We'll have a closer look soon at some of the issues this small community faces - meantime, we had a great couple of nights at the Cardwell Caravan Park and chatted with owner Colin Oke to find out why he loves the place so much! :-)
Dealing With Heat Affected Dogs - Dr Karyn Wesselingh
25 JAN 2023 · While the weather this year has been, cold then wet then hot again... whether you're travelling or not, heat is a big factor in the health of our pets - in this case dogs! And we were reminded off that recently sitting in the shade under a tree having coffee with friends the other day when Kaye realised she had copped a nasty sunburn!
Lesson learned – the hard way – That protective shade of the tree moved!! it’s also a timely reminder for us and other pet owners to plan how to provide adequate shelter, water and cooling mats or jackets to protect our pets from heat stress or the even worse condition Heat Stroke.
To help us and help you - we called on a friend who’s treated many pets for heat stress to give us her best advice on what to do if you suspect your best friend is heat affected - Dr Karyn Wesselingh from the Animal Referral Hospital in Baulkham Hills Sydney
Finding A Groomer 'On The Road' - Todd Clark
15 JAN 2023 · Ok... you've decided to get up and go see Australia with or without the kids... but the 'most important' child can't be ignored right? The family dog. So many people are travelling with pets these days - dogs in particular - but the services like vets & groomers we're used to at home are not always easily available on the road. What to do? - Especially if you have a longer haired dog like us - like Chica.... a Toy Poodle.
Now there are plenty of other longer haired breeds that need regular grooming like Dachies etc but so too do short haired breeds like Staffies or Whippets etc...
We asked long time friend and professional dog groomer Todd Clark from Morriset Dog Grooming how can travellers find a groomer they can 'trust'?
How Music Soothes The Soul - Judy Lattas
10 NOV 2022 · You like music?? We might just let this next story introduce itself… 😊
The Serenity Of Sarina Beach! - Meaghan Thompson
22 OCT 2022 · Why would anyone want to leave Australia to visit some exotic island somewhere!
Ever heard of Sarina Beach in QLD?... Well it's our very own 'tropical paradise' just 35mins south of Mackay. We spoke with the co-owner of the Sarina Beach Motel Meaghan Thompson to find out what's so special about the place and why she has 'stuck around'....

All About Jesse's Pies & Cardwell FNQ - Rob Jesse
1 OCT 2022 · During our zig zag tour of Far North QLD on our way to Cairns we stopped off in the small coastal town of Cardwell for a few days. Great beaches and strong community given they were all but wiped off the map by Cyclone Yasi in 2011. Anyway we couldn't resist trying out a pie or two at the famous 'Jesse's Pies' - This amazing beachside pop-up kitchen has been in operation for over 40 years with brother’s Rob and Greg Jesse launching their bright yellow van more than 30 years ago when their father retired from the local bakery. And while the boys are passionate about making & selling pies to travellers everywhere, they really do wish for a bigger and better future for the small town of Cardwell
Weight Safe Mobile Weighing Service - Jason Fothergill
27 JUL 2022 · Do you know how much your car, caravan, boat, trailer or even your horse floats weighs?
And did you know that if you are 'spot-checked' by police while on the road and are found to be overweight you will be fined?
Worse than that... If you have an accident - whether your fault or not - and are found to be overweight, your insurance will probably be void!
Brian caught up with Jason Fothergill - one of the two brains behind the Weight Safe Mobile Weighing Service in QLD (the other being Brendan Fitzgerald) to find out a bit about their service and what it offers to not just caravaners, but all motorists & yes, even some truckies!!
Cardwell - FNQ's Best Kept Kept Secret - Colin Oke
14 JUN 2022 · Large parts of Australia are feeling the brunt of the strongest storms and torrential rain seen in almost 2 decades…and we hope you’ll all get through this weather system safely – but it was almost 20 years ago – back in Feb. 2011 that a Category 5 cyclone called Yasi all but blew the beautiful town of Cardwell in far north QLD off the map.
Better known as the gateway to fabulous Hinchinbrook Island… Cardwell is back in business, but if you ask the locals it’s still a shadow of its more glamorous self and they’re desperate for more people to enjoy this peaceful spot.
We spent a great couple of nights at the Cardwell Caravan Park and couldn’t resist asking owner Colin Oke to find out why he loves the place so much! :-)
Preparing For Winter! - Caitlyn Henderson (Dietician)
30 MAR 2022 · With winter not far away – we’re noticing many more people are worried about how they’ll cope when they’re stuck at home with a fridge full of food and Uber deliveries only a phone call away.
Kaye managed to momentarily put Caitlyn our resident APD… that’s short for Accredited Practising Dietition, Caitlyn Henderson from Healthy Lifestyles Australia in Toowomba Qld - on the spot recently with this question….
