The Community Noticeboard is a location-based bulletin board available in the app whenever you check in to a campground or rest area. It’s a free, informal feed where travellers in the same location can share information, ask questions, or socialize. Unlike the Services marketplace, the Noticeboard is not for transactions or bookings – it’s more about community chatter. Key points:
- The Noticeboard becomes visible once you’ve checked in to a location (for example, a caravan park). You’ll see posts from other travellers who are also checked in there or nearby.
- Posts are typically categorised. Common categories include Activities (e.g. “Anyone up for a hike this afternoon?” or “Campfire session at 7pm!”), Assistance (e.g. “Does anyone have a bike pump I could borrow?” or “Looking for help jump-starting my van”), and Travel Notices (e.g. “Heading north tomorrow, convoy welcome”). There might be other categories as well, but these help organize the type of post.
- To post something, go to the Noticeboard section (when you’re checked in) and create a new post under the appropriate category. Your post will be visible to all travellers currently at that location (and possibly those in the vicinity who are checked in nearby, if applicable).
- It’s a real-time feed: posts show up instantly, and others can respond or comment (depending on app features, they might reply on the post or message you directly if appropriate).
- Posts on the Noticeboard are automatically removed after a certain time or when they’re no longer relevant (for example, if you check out and leave the area, you might not see the board anymore). It’s meant for on-the-spot, day-of information rather than permanent listings.
