Wife (boss of 46yrs) and I wish to travel up that way at above times, in our trusty Pajero towing trusty Scenic Vega tandem Cvan. Can members provide travelling advice i.e. weather, road surface, where does bitumen end, are we likely to encounter no crossable creeks and rivers. Many thanks people.

Any advice on this road. Travelling from Bairnsdale to Wangaratta in a 28' motorhome. Bit concerned about going over Mt Hotham, is it too steep a climb. Thanks for your help Bas

I noticed on to-nights news there was a fair said about caravan tuggers having a special licence. I am curious to know what other Grey Nomads feel about this subject. Also I have a heavy vehicle truck drivers licence, and am curious to know if the new rules come in will I be covered?

Gday... So, all you Telstra NBN customers - get ya oar in the water before their generosity (or pot of money) runs out. Interesting that now at least ONE of the NBN retailers is 'fessing up to what the community has been bleating about for ages. Wonder who will follow?? http://www.afr.com/technolog...

Lamb chops are great, very tasty compared with ours, but also not common, and pricey. There is plenty of pork though, it mostly comes from huge factory farms in Denmark. We...
