Looking at hitting the road jan/feb next year and would like to/need to earn a few dollars along the way to fund our trip. Looking to be on the road about 10 months. Thought it may be a source of a small income if I was to take my portable massage table. Whats your thoughts. cheers blaze

We are looking for a spot on the NSW South Coast over the Christmas/New Year period. We really don't want to go any further than Merimbula. Any suggestions?

I often think I will spend 1/2 hour before bed checking out the caravan forums on this and other sites and before I know it several hours have passed. Do other people have this problem or do I need to be more diciplined - comments and opinions appreciated, thanks

Time to pick the brains of this well travelled bunch of nomads. 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...

Some days make you think there is just limit on what some people will hook up & tow with a mid size tug.Today I saw a new van that I would estimate to be 30/32ft tri axle behinde a mitsy tritan ute, dont know the tow weights on these but if any thing ever looked out of proportion & wrong this did.

Good day everyone, I'm an architecture student here at the University of Tasmania. In a recent assignment on transportable buildings, I've chosen the one that involves Grey Nomads. Just thought I'd try my luck here to see if anyone would be kind enough as to share some general information about Gre...

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

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...
