Just a quick note to let you you know about a caravan park at Narrandera NSW. It is a Member of the OZ Parks group and we are presently here at the moment. The park is a credit to the owners, it is neat and tidy and the staff are a very friendly bunch. It is very dog friendly to the point that dogs are even permit...

I see on the news that the country is now in the grip of the 'R' word. I agree with the experts - with one big difference! In their eyes 'R' is for 'recession' but for me it is for 'RETIREMENT'!!!!!!!! As from last Friday I am now officially a nothing in official eyes but watch out for us on the road. We are boo...
