Those GPS thingies...
(Preview)
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! If anyone is in the area and you want the ultimate challenge, try punching Millmerran to Esk into your GPS....

ARE THERE ANY NOMADS IN DARWIN?
(Preview)
We have been in Darwin for over a week now and haven't seen any other Nomads with the stickers on. For that matter we haven't had anyone pop in for happy hour either. Guess anyone who is up here is busy doing the "touristy" thing or out in the back blocks. Don't forget if you are around Lee Point...

Beautifull Nundle

Just came back from a lovely weekend in Nundle. We had to take the van to the repairers on Sat so thought, why not just keep going somewhere. We thought about free camping at Chaffey Dam which we often do, but as temperatures drop below zero overnight, we decided power and heaters might make life a litt...
