The Grey Nomads - General

Big Al · Big Al

Hello all... I'm new to this forum stuff but not to the grey nomadding side of life.

We have always stayed in...

We will finally be aproaching the Great Ocean Road in a few days so am wondering where is the best spot to hit the coast to start our westerly sojourn, we will be coming from Ballarat & definately want to avoid any part of Melbourne. As to c...

Here goes with another dumb question. When free camping, where do you get your water from to fill you tanks? I realise if you are staying in a caravan park, you can top up before you leave, but can't imagine servos will allow you to fill your tanks as you fill up with fuel??? Not far from where I live, ther...

I know I'm being lazy, but word of mouth is way better than something written in a book. My question: Free camps between Lithgow - Broken Hill - Port Augusta - Woomera and then on to Darwin. Ones to avoid and ones to definitely stop at. Any suggestions greatfully received.
