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 all talk about it and this I think comes pretty close to the "it". We all want a reasonably priced site, power, spotless facilities, helpful operators, roomy with well kept grounds and no frills other than a little extra in the hospitality department. How about a Tuesday 'Pizza' ...

We hope to leave by Easter 2012 or earlier if all goes well and have been planning the whole thing for a few months now. What a lot to go through to get started. Which caravan, what layout an...

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.
