The Grey Nomads - General

Hi again. I have done a search but need some updated info. I need to replace the awning and measured it up to be 13 ft from middle of each arm.

I'm almost there: the house sold a month ago, the caravan is paid for and awaiting my pickup and I just have to sell and/or give away some "stuff", pack the caravan and then I'll be ready to hit the road - permanently. So, my question is: Any last minute advice for a new nomad?

The heavens put on a real good show tonight with as good a sunset as I ever saw. Unfortunately didn't get a photo. Hope a few other happy campers got to see it. Joe

Howdy all. We are travelling to Tassie in mid January 2019, and I do not know whether to take my tinny with us. I am a keen fisherman and was told that I don't need it over there, and from other people saying to take it. Is it worthwhile take it or leaving it at home? Any replies will help. Thanks

Hello all, in mid January we are travelling from Wodonga through to the Merimbula area and intend going via Corryong to Kiandra. From looking at the map the road looks narrow. Can anyone give me some insight into this road. Towing 21foot van. Cheers Stretch

Hi all I'm heading from Tumbarumba to Cooma and would like to go via Tooma Drive Rd and the Elliot Way to Kiandra then through Adaminaby. Towing a 3 tonne off road van. Just wondering how steep and windy it is and if I should go this way ? Appreciate any feedback. Cheers
