The Greatest Nostalgic Adventure Video Ever! Travel outback Australia from a bygone era, buy your copy on DVD right here!

The greatest ever, australian, modern day adventure.

In 1955, when Keith Adams loaded his wife, sister and dog into a highly modified Buick sedan for an expedition from Perth to the the Gulf of Carpentaria, it was the beginning of possibly the greatest ever, modern-day Australian adventure.  

The extraordinary movie he shot and created to document their travels, was   the first real Australian nature film .

Long before Paul Hogan’s Crocodile Dundee , Keith Adams showed himself to be the real Crocodile Man of the Outback.

Set in a time when saltwater   crocodiles were culled and harvested in the wild   for skins, the DVD shows in graphic detail, the terror, the harshness and the wild nature of a remote outback, hardly touched by man.

icon of a bygone era

In the 21st Century,  this film stands as an icon from a bygone era  when Australia really was “the last frontier” of a simpler world. Keith spent many years and countless miles promoting and showing his film “back in the day”, traversing Australia, USA, Canada, England, South Africa and New Zealand.

There are many many “Baby-boomers” who saw this film the first time when at school. This is a tale about their Australia,   a land which seems forgotten in a modern world   of internet, GPS and iPhones.

The movie made him wealthy yet, even though he went from rural Aussie battler to famous adventurer,   Keith was never more happy than when he was living off the land .

In 2012 the world said farewell to Keith.

The mantle of telling this “flipping great yarn” has passed to daughter Joanne .

When you   buy a book or DVD , every single one has been sent to you direct from Keith’s family . . . order now and enjoy!

The Northern Safari DVD is a legendary tale from a time when true adventure was found in the vast, unchartered outback, where roads were vague tracks and the natural wildlife abundant.

This documentary goes deep into the back country of Australia as director Keith Adams and family travel over 9,000 miles through several deserts and outbacks. A 12-foot python is mauled by their dog Tiger, a fearless 18-month-old fox terrier. Aborigines hunt giant turtles and crocodiles, as they have for thousands of years, and land a 1000-pound sea cow for their feasting pleasure. Exotic animals and colorful plant life that can only be found in the land-down-under are also featured in their extensive tour marked by a three-week encampment at the Gulf of Carpentaria.

Canadian compact RV manufacturers to keep your eye on

These canadian companies specialize in lightweight, compact rv units..

We’re seeing the RV industry produce a lot of interesting compact RV units right now, with a focus on quality. It’s reasonable to believe that the increased quality is due to the demanding shift towards minimalistic living (read more about the pros and cons of owning a compact RV in this article ).

Each individual buyer can benefit from specific features, so which model or manufacturer is “best” depends on what might be best for you and your family.

These are some of the top names in Canadian compact RV manufacturing:

- Photo courtesy Safari Condo

Safari Condo

The Safari Condo Alto’s aerodynamic teardrop shape is lightweight and durable. Alto owners can feel good about going green: most of the materials used to build the Alto are recyclable, and the aerodynamics increase towing efficiency, minimize drag, and minimize fuel use on the road. The retractable roof expands when parked for heightened living space.

- Photo courtesy Roulottes

Roulottes Prolite

Quebec-made, small-scale production means Prolite values quality over quantity. They only make 600 units a year. If that doesn’t seem like a lot, keep in mind that the founder built the first trailer in his garage. Six out of the twelve models they create clock in under 15 feet.

- Photo courtesy Taylor Coach

Taylor Coach

Taylor Coach trailers have been built in Ontario since 1967, eco-friendly, and lightweight. They make some cute compact models, and love custom orders.

- Photo courtesy Car-go Trailers

Car-go Trailers

These tiny teardrops give campers just the basics to sleep off the ground, without sacrificing the outdoor lifestyle we love. The Car-go Liberty1 main compartment holds a convertible sofa bed and cabinets. The back door opens to kitchen storage with spaces to place your camping stove and cooler.

The Teardrop Trailer

These units are constructed in Ontario and highly customizable in terms of size, features, and materials used. The Teardrop Trailer makers make your tiny trailer dreams to reality.

Escape Trailer Industries

Escape Trailers are manufactured in Chilliwack, British Columbia. If you’re from out of province, they work through a referral program: nearby current owners are available to show potential buyers their own models. The molded fiberglass body of the 17-foot Escape is durable and lightweight. Owners say they love the interior storage space in Escape trailers.

Lees-ure Lite

Specializing in pop-ups, Lees-ure Lite obviously knows how to build compact. This British Columbia brand starts as a raised bed in a hard case. When parked, it opens into a full-height tent with the bed as it’s centre. It’s the smallest of the small trailers, but perfect for campers who tow with motorcycles.

- Photo courtesy Trillium Trailers

Trillium Trailers

The average dry weight of an Outback Trillium is 1,450 pounds, making it easier for owners to travel farther. They offer customizations and quotes on their website, so potential buyers see an idea of what their budget can buy.

- Photo courtesy Northern Teardrop

Northern Teardrop Trailer

Northern Teardrop Trailer is based out of Salmo, B.C., and you can find some intriguing little units here. The company manufactures ultra-light RVs, each one crafted with individual care and attention.

Lightning strike puts Northern California mobile home in flames

By Shelby Reilly

May 5, 2024 / 5:27 PM PDT / CBS Sacramento

NEWCASTLE - A community in Newcastle is rattled after a mobile home goes up in flames, following being struck by lightning on Saturday evening. 

The mobile home sits on Nob Hill Drive in the Castle City Mobile Home Park. 

"I was just sitting in my house, playing on my phone and the lightning started striking and the wind and the rain," said Tammi Salmon who lives in the mobile home community. 

Salmon lives right across the street from where it happened and said the storm was intense prior to the lightning strike. 

"It went off for a little while and then I heard a big snap and I thought it maybe hit in the middle of the road, the trailer was rocking from it, it was so strong," Salmon said. 

The lightning strike hit at about 6:15 on Saturday evening. 

"And then all of a sudden someone said there's smoke coming out of the back of her house," said Christine Evans, another nearby neighbor. 

The Newcastle Fire Protection District said everyone in the home made it out OK. 

"It seemed like that tree over there was on fire but really it was the trailer that was on fire in front of it," Evans said. 

Neighbors said it was like watching a scene from a movie, and not something they ever thought would happen to their small community. 

"That was, it's crazy. I hope it doesn't happen again," Salmon said. 

The Newcastle Fire Protection District said the woman in the home was taken to the hospital to be checked out but is doing just fine.
