Hi all, we are new members and new to caravaning. We want to travel around Oz and wondered if any of you travel in groups from place to place? We are in south east Queensland at the mo and as soon as we sell our property, we are off! Regards.

Hi Grey Nomads I'm just about to begin my first grey nomad expedition. Is there anyone out there who may have had experience travelling with a cpap or vpap machine? I'd like to hear any advice offered - in particular in relation to battery power for the machine. Best wishes CallmeStan

Travelling all over in our little van, we found ourselves at Millmerran Qld. Next stop was to be Esk. Wanting to miss the heart of Toowoomba, we placed our trust in our TomTom GPS. Good heavens!
