ok so i may have asked this question once before but just what makes a grey nomad ?? this is something that i've been pondering on a lot of late ? to qualify for the title of grey nomad do you have to be "homeless" and by that i mean do you have to sell up everything and hit the road or can you have a &qu...

I got one of these from Aldi yesterday for, (i think) $22, I now have three of them, as we travel with 2, 9kg and one 4.5kg gas bottles the 4.5 being a standby.

Hi all, I'm starting to think I should maybe sell 'Lucy" and 'Gypsy' and get a van instead. Basically, the reason I didn't buy a campervan 18 months ago, was the cost of buying a late model and the cost of fuel driving it around town fulltime. (I don't intend being a full time nomad.) I was thinking o...

A reminder as you sit and have your happy hour, keep a look out. Its that time of year again. Just came across the first big black snake for the year heading for our dam. Lucky our dog (yep. a border collie, so many G.N's seem to have them) couldn't be bothered to walk down to the paddock with me. Lost a jac...

Dear all We are going to be travelling up north and in this instance cannot take our dogs with us.

Hi Everyone I am actually not a grey nomad but thought this would be a perfect place to ask if anyone knew where my husband and I could find takers for our house.

G,Day everyone, After reading your story about all our big icons my 16yr daughter suggested when we start our big trip in 4 months that we should find all the Big Icons around Australia. Can anyone tell us if there is a list somewhere of all of them so we can check them out.
