I wonder why we are being censored on the site. Information given about a rally against the Carbon tax was information that people have a right to know about. The original topic was never political it was only information about a rally.It neither promoted or was against any party. Smacks of Big Broth...

With the recent tragic loss of another solo traveller in the outback, I'm wondering just how many GN's actually carry an EPIRB in their van, or a personal unit when exploring, fosicking, fishing etc. I'm hoping EVERYONE has one.

This is the front story for today, and very sad. Was he one of ours and how could it happen? 71 year old Peter Worthington, it says. Seems he left the vehicle after getting bogged.

Been looking at Badgers Caravan Reports and started wondering if any body has set up a similar system for reporting on CAMPS free camps locations. I find Badgers very helpful and would think the same for CAMPS would assist many of us Grey Nomads. Any thoughts. OR if it has already been done where ca...

ok so on our travels around the place i guess most of us like collecting things from places we've been and may pick up the odd shell and such when we're out wondering the country side,, but does anyone collect or look for gems and minerals and precious stones, or maybe even do the odd bit of gold detecting,...
