Hi everybody. Just wanted to let you all know that – due to ‘overwhelming’ public demand – we have recently extended our line of grey nomads merchandise. You can see the range at our shop here. I know there was some chat on here a month or two ago about people wanting shirts and I am delighted to say we have...

Are you boiling hot, freezing cold, or soaking wet? Is the wind howling or is there a gentle sea breeze cooling you as you sip a pina colada on the beach? Feel free to use this section to let other nomads know how the weather is where you are in this wonderful country, and how you are planning to make the most...

None of us have been everywhere in Australia but if all us grey nomads combined our photo's the result would probably cover most of it. This is the spot to try and stump each other as to where a particular scenic photo has been taken. Please include something in the photos submitted that will be an obviou...

For me two places stand out ( more will come to mind, but I'm a senior so I am having a moment) 1 Mataranka, a stunning spot I thought, the springs are usually full of grey nomads immersed in the warm water, the meals at the resaurant were fantastic and the Van Park though a bit on the dusty side was very clean...

Hi everyone, I need to sort out some ventilation for the fridge compartment in our camper trailer. The compartment houses a 60L Engel Combi without too much air space left over, so it can get pretty warm. It has a vent of sorts with a pad filter, but no fan installed. However, if I installed a fan, I would a...

Wondering if anyone knows the Burnett Highway from Biloela to Kingaroy? Is it steep, windy, suitable for a medium sized van?

In this great country we seem to have too many laws. Some claim we are the most regulated country on earth. But in most cases laws are introduced due to a need created by the people that create the need. I was a dog ranger with 3 councils in the 1980's. What I found was a total disregard for the dog act in Vic...

Hi All We are planning a trip to Ulladulla in the next few weeks. Is there any recommendations on the best route? I have been on the Canberra to Batemans Bay road and found it very windy and steep an alternative may be good.

Firstly the caravan park has everything including cabins and all the good stuff and a great Overflow pa...
