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...

News this morning that fire ants are now in the Murray darling basin, How long is it going to take for pollies to get serious and commit some massive funding for eradication before we make the same mistake as the US, and dither to the point that eradication is no longer possible? If we wait too long, our n...

Fords new F150 Lightning that Ford can't sell in the US has arrived down under with a base model sticker price of 230,000 buckeroos.

Hurry up and give them all your personal details so that they sell the info off and pay for the blanket adds on TV. IMHO a dreadfolly insidious confidence trick.

Hi All, Question for the electronic gurus. Have had a Black Rhino 12V fridge that I bought 3 years ago at Aldi when it was last one in store and with a +50% discount. Recently I decided that I wanted to replace my ever reliable Engel (54 years old and still going) with a Fridge that has a freezer compartment...

Next to safety chains the next PITA is finding a servo with ample room to check and pump up tyres. I have now solved this problem by purchasing a Milwaukee 12 tyre inflator. They are worth every cent. They are small, light and compact and really quick. Accurate too. Just set the required pressure, hit t...

I found fitting and detaching the safety chains to the car one of the biggest PITA ever inflicted on the caravan community. Sitting on the draw bar fiddling around with shackles, not knowing if they were tightening, dropping the pin on the ground, the whole lot almost put me into therapy. Now, I have so...

There's a fantastic solution - I have a Sphere 21" that speaks thru silver paper with a sound more like a $2 kids toy. So bad in fact that I rigged it to run thru the in-house radio - trouble was the sound was from behind and above and somewhat disorienting relative to the picture. Anyway I imposed on the br...
