The Ashes
(Preview)
I am really looking forward to the upcoming Ashes series which commences in a few weeks time in Perth. Although I am not a fan of the Australian team for reasons given in the past as to their carry on I do like watching cricket for the game itself and the skill of the players. I played grade cricket in earlie...

Road tax first caravans?
(Preview)
Apparently, a distance based Road User charge is to be phased in for EVs because those vehicles avoid petrol excise charges. Are we also going to see a similar charge applied to the use of caravans?

Identity cards.
(Preview)
I read that the Labour government in UK are going to introduce these cards. Just another tracking device? The general public over there are up in arms, over 3 million objections to date. Sadly I fear that there isn't a lot of privacy left anywhere these days . Maybe George Orwell got it right all those y...

Grey Nomads and their vans, not giving way to cyclists
(Preview)
So I went out on a local tour, last Monday for 5 days, with my dog, on a road heading west out towards Bingara from Bundarra, to camp for 4 days on the Gwydir, with my dog in his trailer. Had no issues on the ride out, it took me a day and half to get to my spot, so camped on the way, as I left at 1pm Monday afternoon...

Anyone know what happen to a GN member know as denmonkey?
(Preview)
He disappeared around 2019 here, at the same time as the Caravanners Forum, I hope he didn't surcum to covid, but he was a prolific poster on Caravanners forum, and he was getting ready to go on the road fulltime, so maybe that could have been why he stopped posting. -- Edited by Bicyclecamper on Wedne...

After consulting the rules of the game I found that, if I could miss all seventeen, that entitled me to throw darts at a picture of our Premier. Even th...
