The Grey Nomads - General

Lat 38 · Lat 38

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. The outback is just as hostile as the sea and anyone venturing 3klm off s...

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...

Having arrived in Broome and set up our van in a precious hard to get site, we said Hullo to our neighbors, some of whom were friendly but others didnt even answer. Around 5 a large group gathered around the communal BBQ which is right beside our awning, enjoyed a noisy happy hour then cooked their dinner...

OK, I'll try again. WHAT HAPPENED TO THE CANBERRA RALLY THREAD? I would appreciate the courtesy of a reply, rather than an anonymous axing. We're all big boys and girls now, not children. Tony

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,...

Does any body on the fourm ever have YouTube nights. We have one occasionally, couple of drinks and play all the old songs. It's fun looking back on what things were like back when we were teenagers and how we dressed. One good thing about back then is that you could always understand the lyrics. Just wa...
