Gidday, We are back on the road on Friday, yahoo, leaving my wife Karens parents place near Taree NSW and hoping to be in Canberra next week. Doing the Great Ocean Rd in a couple of weeks. If you see a dark grey 200 cruiser with a Jayco Sterling on the back, with stickers, give us a wave. We started our round A...

We had our heart set on an "off-road" caravan till we learned how heavy most of them were. Mr D loves his Prado and wasnt willing to swap it for a tug with greater towing capacity, so we chose a lighter (and less off-road capable) caravan. At a roadside rest stop yesterday, we met a couple of pe...

Hi everyone, Last year hubby and I took three months off work to travel Brisbane to Broome and back in our Mazda B50 Duel cab and Jayco Dove Campervan....and what a trip it was. We had a ball, so much so that we can't wait to get back on the road. So around late October this year we'll be taking early retire...

Have decided to head home in the morning. After a very sleepless night, one in which the dog killed in a mouse in my grandaughters bedroom and I flushed it down the loo, I came to the realisation I have to get Myrtle right before I do anymore tripping. Do all the things that should have been done, new in hous...

Personally, I wouldn't drive anything else. Seems that the trend is towards automatic rather than manual cars though. Our tug is a Rodeo 4x4 Diesel Auto, and very happy with the choice. I spent a few years living in the U.S.A, and was a member of a fishing club. Everyone had a 4x4 and not one of them wa...

Hi Everyone, I've just joined Grey Nomads, and am hoping that someone can help me with my problem. I am contemplating buying a 2008 Hilux SR dual cab 4x4, with approximately twenty thousand dollars of extras. They are not modifications like suspension, engine or wheels. The Hilux has ARB bullbar wi...

Friends, I am going away for a few weeks. I don't have a working notebook pc anymore & even if I went out and splurged on one, I don't have the other thingy for mobile internet, actually I don't really want one either, had one before, it drove me nuts. I vaguely recall putting my heal through it after...

Well the van and 4WD are all packed and ready to head off in the morning, going 'down hill' this time - had two trips going 'uphill' to Townsville already this year- in floods and cyclones, but you have to get through when a new grandchild is on the way. But now it's time to head off to Canberra through al...

CG, wondered where you stopped in Dalby on your way through. I remember you said you stopped two nights, was it a freecamp or caravan park. There are no freecamps in the Camps 4 book. If caravan park where was it and how much. Have been told by another camper here in Kumbia about Lake Broadwater south of Da...
