The Grey Nomads - General

Hylda&Jon · Hylda&Jon

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...

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...

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...

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...

Hi all next year we are planning a trip in the top end from lake argyle to Kalbarri. We have a full off road van which loves to get down and dirty and pushed to the limits.We have also swapped the tinny for a rooftop tent for the hard to get to places and would love some feed back from the more experienced trave...

Soo, the hook/eyelet that holds the sliding door to out ensuite open when towing has come adrift. Reason being its screwed into crap Masonite. But the door has a fairly solid frame. The obvious solution is the eyelet needs to be moved to the edge where the frame is and make a shorter hook to suite. SWMB...

The Top End is the area north of of Katherine and WHOLLY within the NT. It is NOT in WA or QLD. Earlier today there has been a post which seems to suggest that northern W A is "the Top End". It is the Kimberley. Some months ago there was a post (to a story on the main page) asking "was it bitumen all the way to the...

More likely dismayed - now that there's been a good term of wet it is a good time to search for unknown and invisible leaks. And to trace known leaks to their obscure and often far away origins. If your van is outside in the weather a moisture meter is an essential accessory. For a miserable $25 you can tes...

I've got crook knees (meniscus damage from sport) and I'm not opting for surgery just yet. Does anyone else have bad knees, and if so, any home remedies? Best knee braces? Hint's, tips, etc? I don't want to turn this into a medical thread, just want ways to make the driving easier

Hey there everyone, I realised that my road side assist expired after an interesting mishap to say the least and hoping to find what everyone else uses which may be cost affective and a good quality service. I'm in a motorhome in NSW. Thanks!

First question from me, and it's an absolute newbie question! If you stop just for one night, is it necessary to disengage the van from the car and balance up?

Geday all , my better half and I are going to become grey nomads next year when we retire. I have my tug ( 06 100 series TD L/C) and Im not selling her. Still looking for the van. To all out there do we really require an off road van if we are going off the beaten track? Maybe a silly question but I have had a few nom...

Hi everybody. Can anyone suggest the quickest and safest camping ground route from Adelaide to Darwin please. We are new to travelling and have no solar. We prefer not to travel much more than 300k per day. Thank you.
