The Grey Nomads - General

kesue · kesue

Just read the lead story on truck drivers on the Newell and we have just travelled down the highway from Brisbane to Melbourne.

Haiti earthquakes, how long has it been, 11 days, 12, hell I forget but another "live" one was pulled from the rubble this morning just imagine, covered in concrete blocks, crushed beneath tonnes of rubble, no light, no sound, no food, no sign of being saved, no drink, no speech with other f...

What sort of prices are you paying for insuring motorhomes and caravans, and are there any insurance companies that are fair to Grey Nomads that can be recommended. I am just trying to find out what we will be up for when we take the big jump.

Anyone can be a victim of the thoughtlessness and/or sleepiness that can lead to Camera Loss. How can I prevent Camera Loss? I hear you ask, wishing Id get to the point. Well, you c...

Best of luck to us and to Cruising Granny. We are likely to be close to the path of dear old Olga tomorrow or Monday. Very very hot and still here right now (calm before the storm). We have all the emergency gear ready to go but I dont know how the poor old van will cope at the side of the house. Having s...

After venting on the Sundowner Caravan Park at Port Macquarie, we feel we must comment on this lovely caravan park which is located about 19kms outside of Tamworth.

We have just spent three days at this Big 4 Caravan Park. Was very disappointed with the standard of the amenities and security was also useless! There were three amenities blocks and all of them were in desperate need of renovation. Paint peeling off walls, on one particular day vomit was left on a...

WANTED TO BUY! Was wondering whether it would be interesting for us to have a section Caravan for Sale or Caravan wanted. I'm sure there are many of us who would like to upgrade our rigs and sell the other rather than get nothing for trade in. Also could be a number of want to be GNs like me getting ready to bu...

Yeaaaaah!!! Finally Roger has decided that as we go to Alice Springs in June, {looking for Zircons}, we will not be in any hurry to return home. That is the way we plan on easing into the mental side of retiring. I believe that, no matter how much you plan this, there is still a "settling in " si...
