I have to move. The pipe which provides water to the site has blown out. The rust just couldn't hold it together anymore. I happened to give it a little nudge on Thursday afternoon and water spurted everywhere. Last night I was told to be ready to move may van to make it easier for the blokes to get in and rep...

We haven't been online for a while as we've been extremely busy shifting into our new home in a new town, south of and within an hour's drive of Perth (moving sucks! ). It'll take several more weeks to get things from chaos to what looks like a bit of order. Fences are complete except for one large gate an...

Hi everyone ! I've been devouring this forum since I discovered it recently. I've been thinking about doing this for a while but as many first timers mention, it is scary. I am in Darwin and a couple of years ago I left, although I love it, its very hot !! I thought I'd find somewhere cooler to live and so...

I am trying to save on my power bill at home, my problem is this: every time I open the fridge door the light is on, how do I turn the light off once the door is closed? Now some smart bugga is going to say remove the bulb, but that is stupid, if I do that I will not be able to see in the fridge when I open the door. Als...

Hi there, it's almost a fact, the first Australian winner of the Tour de France, Cadel Evans. Sunday is the last stage, normally that is just a bike ride and some quick laps on the Champs Elysee. Congrats to all of you from the Dutch-German border. Want to see a tough Dutch competitor? Type: 'Johnny Hoog...

Hi all! I'm now at my sisters, after spending a few extra days..unintentionally..with friends in Bundaberg. I came down sick, and just couldn't get out of bed. Luckily, I had a real bed in the house, not in Gypsy. Finally felt well enough to drive to my sisters today, and off home tomorrow. So my adventu...

We were happy as Larry to be off "on the road again". Got as far as ****lebiddy & OH we stopped suddenly. Probably a seal gone on the fuel pump. But the bad news - approx. $3000 just to take the motorhome back to Kalgoorlie. So here we are much poorer back in Kalgoorlie & goodness kn...

How have things changed since you were a kid? I don't mean the obvious, but something that really sticks in your memory. For example, as a kid, everyone in our neighbourhood knew everyone, from our house down to the next corner about 8 houses away, and around to the other side of that block, and most ni...

Well, it seems we have lost yet another valued member of our forum. I had an email from Doug this afternoon and he has decided, everything considered, to delete his account with the grey nomads. He will be missed as his informative posts will also be missed. Thank you Doug for being here.
