Scotty86526 · Scotty86526

Id love to chat with those who live on the road. Id love to hear your stories, the good and the bad, where you are and what you are doing and I guess just live vicariously through you until our time comes.

It would be interesting to hear from fellow Grey Nomads on their experiences during Cyclone Debbie, like whether advice given was good or if you infact took your own or if you stayed put? Keb

Next day tried to start it, it lurched forward and stalled, the gear seemed stuck and would not engage with motor going. Today same thing, although w...

Everywhere we go recently we see sights like this. A few days ago we saw one that had self destructed after being heavily roped down.

After a truly wonderful first attempt at caravan touring, today I finally got to finish editing and compiling the nearly 2500 images we took on the road. I see it as the last act in the episode even though we came home just before Christmas. We'd lived in a caravan for 10 years way back when, but never took...
