Darwin Bowls Club proposes 40-site RV park in Fannie Bay
Original source: NT Independent

The Darwin Bowls and Social Club has lodged plans to develop a 40-site RV park in three stages on a 1.2-hectare vacant lot in Fannie Bay. The proposal cites less stringent requirements than for caravan parks, as RVs are self-contained. The club argues the development would reduce illegal camping and boost local tourism revenue.

Grey Nomad Caravan Travel Booms Among Retired Australians

According to the Caravan Industry Association of Australia, Australians aged over 55 accounted for 59 per cent of all caravan and camping trips in 2025. They average four-day trips, compared with 3.1 nights for those aged 30 to 54. Many retirees purchase caravans before retirement to build confidence with towing and camping. In winter, they head north for warmer weather, with popular destinations including Byron Bay, Mooloolaba, Alexandra Headland, and Coolangatta.

LITY's Portable CO Detector Targets Aussie Campers and RVs

LITY has launched a Kickstarter campaign for its Smart CO Detector, a portable device designed for campers, caravanners, and RV owners. The 108-gram aluminum-bodied unit features a magnetic mount, a color display showing CO levels, temperature, and humidity, and a three-tier alarm system covering 1 to 500 ppm. It has an IP54 rating and charges via USB-C. However, the campaign does not cite certifications like UL2034 or EN50291, which is a key consideration for buyers.
