From time to time members PM me seeking information or I PM members giving them information (usually negative) that I don't wish to post on an Open Forum. Today I posted some information about how to, and how not to, contact me. The Forum Adminsitrator has seen fit to deleted the thread in its entriety...

Subject #1 Whenever a thread goes on here the subject veers off course, (or swerves completely away from it), so I have a challenge for all you forumites out there... How Many Different Subjects Can We Deviate Too???? So over to all you good people, take it away.....

Did anyone see the program Great Australian Doorstep on channel 7two this afternoon. It might not have been on in all areas. Was hosted by Spida Everett and his wife Sheree, and showed us around Toowoomba, Fernvale and Wivenhoe Dam. Seems to be a regular program. Was great to see Wivenhoe Dam and showe...

We have been off-line for a week, have travelled from Katherine, West on the Victoria Highway (Met Jon and Hylda at Timber Creek, lovely morning!) Went thru Kunnanurra to Parry's Farm which was spacious and quiet, although not cheap. We left the caravan there, took the tent and went out to El Questr...

I haven't posted much at all as yet, not considering ourselves real caravanners like most on here. But that's changing. We bought a small Supreme off-road getaway last Nov when I finished work in PNG, as Lyn said that we were always keen on seeing the block but that if I just came back to the farm outsid...

Could all those who posted earlier and are still wishing to make a donation (you've got no say in it Marg, we insist) post again here, no need to mention the amount, but if Marg can pm us with a suitable Bank/Brancy/A/C number we can make the donation direct to it. I'm in by the way !

Myrtle is a sick lady, she's worn out. This is what Sam wrote on the invoice: Engine Breathing excessively. Beyond limits of PCV system. Engine worn. This is what he told me: You may get another 50 or 60 thousand ks out of her by using a good oil, one made for ageing motors. Don't buy a no frill shop brand nam...

Hi everybody. I’m hoping that some of you might be able to help me out with a request we have had from the Seven Network. They are keen to talk to grey nomads who have sampled life on the ocean waves i.e. any of you who enjoy the odd cruise, or who are perhaps hoping to take to the high seas in the not-too-dista...

Hi-thought we should introduce ourselves to the forum as S.A. dwellers. In the little spare time we have we run a 300 acre farm unfortunately not big enough to keep the wolf from the door. So we both work off farm as well. We have been travelling for 25 years when opportunity arises, but never for long...

I'm inspired by the generosity and kindness shown towards a fellow nomad, albeit a total stranger, in trouble. I'm glad we can call each other "friends", despite the fact most of us have never met each other. Such support cannot be measured by $ value. The older we get the more we remember ho...
