Just spent 3 days on the Murray River at Yarrawonga in perfect weather with nomad friends.

Hi guys, I'm not exactly 100% sure, and I could be wrong, but I think there may be a new Phone Scam starting. I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere else yet, so see what you think.

We are now at Clifton - showgrounds. $7/night with power & hot showers. We will probably stay a couple of days only as on Saturday is their annual race day at the grounds here. Might be fun but I think we will be surrounded by race goers making merry.

When we nomads get together we spend much time relating amusing stories of happenings along the road. I have been to Western Australia for the 3rd time this trip and by now should realise not to get off the road since so much of the West is sand. I made the mistake of going just slightly off the tarmac whic...
