Recent trip to South West Rocks I stayed at the Top Tourist Park on Gordon Young Dr. The on-suite sites have a ready made eco mat pad if you don't want to put down your own or you can request a concrete pad .

Hello fellow Grey Nomaders! My first night away was at Willalooka, free spot opposite the roadhouse, and toilet plus hot shower! Mushrooms for breakky!!

Hi all What is the best way to attack the purchase of food etc. I will be travelling alone so don't need stocks of food but I do like fruit / vegs, can do without meat. Is it best to try and stock up at the larger towns or is it cost effective to buy as required where ever you may be. Thanks Graeme
