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...

Hi all Going away with a group of ladies, one of the stops being the caravan park at Crystal Creek. Wondering if the road up to both Little Crystal Creek and Big Crystal Creek and Paluma is ok. I do have a 4WD. And if the water is easily accessible (due to a few oldies). Be nice now.

Hi all, I am thinking of changing my drum brakes out on our duel wheel van (22ft) to Disc brakes, has anyone done this and was it a hassel.? I know I can call the suppliers etc, but just wanted some feed back first. Also any ideas on cost etc.. As I have said above the van is 22ft, so its quite heavy, although t...

Is it just me or do others consider it disrespectful when others walk through your site at a caravan park instead of walking around or at a minimum walking between sites if too lazy to go round. No wonder so many kids have no respect when adults who should know better set such a poor example
