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.

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...

Airconditioners and battery power. Apology for my ignorance but I was just wondering how many members use their caravan airconditioners from purely battery power when off road in terms of practical hours of usage. I realise the airconditioners draw a huge amount of power and their off road usage ne...

Air pollution is off the chart in Mildura & a few other places. You could cut the air with a knife at our place on Sydney Northern Beaches this morning. https://aqicn.org/map/world/

I'm considering purchasing a Cinderella incinerating toilet for my van. Does anyone have any experience with Cinderella incinerating toilets? They sound great circumventing the need to empty a toilet cartridge every few days. Thanks Malcolm

Just wonderful, 10 in the morning and 36 degrees and aiming for 41. Not as bad as it sounds, virtually no humidity and I had a wonderful walk earlier alongside the Todd amongst all the gums
