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...

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...

We didn't really consider our odyssey to the east had started until we left Norseman. This was not the first time I had been to Eucla. In 1956 when I was 7 years old, I travelled with my parents across the Nullarbor in an FJ Holden. Very different journey in those days! The Eucla stopover was down on the fl...

Having read on forums many interesting comments about weight limits I decided to weigh my van. SHOCK horror to find its 400kg over the stated maximum on the plate. AND its only partially loaded. If I remove the water, the tools and the gas bottles it will still be more than 200kg over the weight stated o...

Hi again. Well we have hit the road for our big lap and after sorting out the problem with our fridge, due to Cyclone Debbie, did not get a chance to trial our free camp capability. When we only had one 120ah battery in our van we would get to 14.3v on our meter, and yes I know that you shouldn't add a new batter...

TANAMI RD, ANYONE RECENTLY DONE?

I see the Grey Nomad Times has a story about a new caravanner's partner who refuses to drive while towing. I certainly can understand someone who hasn't had experience with towing having that fear. Luckily my wife is not too fazed by doing some of the driving with the van or our boat behind. We've towed...
