| 1 Apr 2008 | | GoSee is proud to be a sponsor for a pride of white lions. The five Gangsters, as the boys are known, are among the achievements of Mogo Zoo in South Coast NSW.

But there are greater dangers to the survival of beautiful animals than occur in the wild. |

| 10 Jan 2008 | | Throughout Australia and New Zealand Holiday Park cabins and children are a natural fit. Caravan parks actually welcome children when the family goes camping. That extends to something which is not found in many hotels, motels, B&B's or guesthouses. The camping culture, facilities and ambience suits kids. Good caravan parks offer facilities which are better than most children have at home or at school. |

| 11 Dec 2007 | | We first saw the top of the range Holden Captiva Diesel at a New Zealand North Island dealership in Hamilton. The good pricing for what it offered drew us to it. It replaces our V8 Statesman (RV). We are spoilt and wont go down market from Statesman comfort. Leather seating, sunroof, cruise and climate control are among essentials now. But hi-tech up-to-date SUV AWD stuff and a fuel efficient diesel was high on the 'must-have' list too. Part 2 in our series on towing and RV's |
