Fire destroys two caravans at holiday park, smoke alarm warning issued

A fire at a holiday park on Chinderah Bay Drive in Chinderah, New South Wales, destroyed two caravans and damaged two others. More than 40 people, including elderly and vulnerable residents, were evacuated; no injuries were reported. Fire and Rescue NSW urges checking smoke alarms in caravans and holiday accommodation, noting that 45% of homes that experienced a major fire last year lacked a working alarm. Legislation requires a working smoke alarm in every home and caravan, with an additional alarm in any annex used for sleeping.

Toyota Land Cruiser turned into a motorhome without modifications

Australian company Tailgate Campers has developed the Tailgate Gear Kit for the Toyota Land Cruiser 78, converting the SUV into a motorhome without drilling the body. The kit fits in the trunk and includes a pull-out double bed, a kitchen module with a gas stove, sink and water tank, a refrigerator, pull-out drawers, tables and storage compartments. The module can be removed in minutes, restoring the vehicle to its factory condition.

Australian court rejects demolition over caravan garage height dispute

The Supreme Court of Victoria ruled that demolition and rebuilding are not proportionate damages even when a builder breaches contract. In Stanley v EWH Constructions West Pty Ltd [2025] VSC 699, the garage floor was built lower than specified, preventing the owners from moving their caravan through it. Rectification costs exceeded A$650,000, but the garage remained structurally sound and functional for ordinary vehicles. The court found the cost disproportionate and remitted the case for assessment of loss of amenity and caravan storage costs.
