It's a trifle irritating that so many don't give a location. Perhaps they can't remember where they've been.

May i ask that people put "near" after the funny name of the place where the pic was taken.
It's hard work having to go to google maps to find out where "funny name" place is.

Love those colonial buildings set against the Aussie sky !!

One of my favourite sights. Small outback towns/hamlets having a grand Town Hall, police station and such. The convicts built a lot of them.

That’s Marketing for you and not just Motorhome Marketing it’s endemic in the game marketeers play, why would anyone be taken in or surprised.

If you wish to see the Bizzar nature of TV adverts just mute the sound the images then become weirder and weirder.

On the subject of 'selling the dream', I've been puzzled by why the manufacturers of my last two motorhomes thinks 'plain cream' carpets are the appropriate floor covering for the van.

Yes, they look lovely and brighten the interior, but totally impractical for camping! I don't want to have to take my shoes off at the door every time I step inside. So of course on delivery of the said new vans, the expensive cream carpets simply get rolled up and stored, to be replaced by more practical floor covering.

But it's just another facet of the manufacturers marketing dream.

Wonder how many others have taken delivery of a new van with plain pale-coloured carpets... ?
