Gday... GNs have been calling for sites such as these in van parks for a very long time. So, is this lack of patronage a result of poor marketing/advertising? ... or simply that GNs don't really want to be in a van park even if it is low-cost site for self-contained rigs? Cheers - John

I'm wondering if anyone has any tips on what they found was essential and what they regretted giving space to. So far I have a camp stretcher and mattress, small stove and cooking utensils and plastic boxes for clothes. I will use an esky to keep food cool and a plastic bucket for loo emergencies. Oh and a...

good morning everyone in grey nomad land. I have a question. Strop and I have put up our awning for the first time. It looks great but we are wondering does it still need to be tied down at each corner or is it ok as is?

Why do we have Specific Threads for people to post in to make it easy to find Topics, when nobody bothers to use them ? These days, anything and everything is being posted here. Bit silly, if you want to find something months down the track. Cheers, Sheba.

Hi out there It will be a few days to come before we finally hit the road, but we are already planning the big change in lifestyle.

While I have only joined a month or so ago I notice that the American term of 'rig' for a caravan is used - such as on the front page of the web site.
