The Grey Nomads - General

Joe50 · Joe50

Well, after about 18 months of pondering and planning, re-planning and re-pondering, I've taken the first step to nomadhood with the purchase of a 1990 Hino Rainbow. Now the fun bit starts with deciding on the layout, power, solar, water, etc with the aim of being ready to hit the road towards the end o...

Gday... There is no better way of life in the world than that of the Australian. I firmly believe this. The grumbling, growling, cursing, profane, laughing, beer drinking, abusive, loyal-to-his-mates Australian is one of the few free men left on this earth. He fears no one, crawls to no one, bludges...

I reckon most Aussie families have a pub in them somewhere. Either some relative owned one, or there's a family story about one. Where was the pub in your family?

Is there a setting in my profile that must be set that counts the number of posts that I make, as it never appears to increase, as my present count is the same as a year and looking back on my recent posts the count never seems to update. Looking at this post, it has updated by one so does that mean you only it is...

As a group of concerned or like minded individuals I assume that we have some pull as a lobby group. We have just come across from Keith, Vic and joined up along the Princes Highway. The lack of public facilities along the road is disappointing and consequently, the human waste at the various viewing si...

Spending so much time on the road with very little to do between wee stops the mind turns to the unusual questions in life. Sometimes you end up light years away & miss the last 100kms or so. Try mulling over this one. Let's see what we can come up with? "What IS the speed of dark?"

I haven't seen any posts from Sheba in quite a while. Is she OK? Is she travelling? It's not usual for her to not post a quick reply to other posts.

Being new to towing I would appreciate tips on best overnight stops to give a pleasant drive from Perth to Broome . We are hoping we can do the trip in five days but not sure how long we will be able to drive - being of age. I hope we would be able to cope with six or so hours and not suffer too much but who knows ti...

I have had my BT50 fitted with a reversing camera and integrated to my caravan. However when the camera is in operation the FM stations from 845 - 1000 Khz become inaudible with high background hiss. The auto electrician and the manufacturer cannot solve it and I was wondering whether anyone has had th...

We will be leaving home (Flowerdale, Vic) in a few minutes for Perth to visit our daughter there. We plan on taking nearly 2 months to get there and then 4 months to get home via the Flinders Ranges and any where else that takes our fancy. Hope to meet some other Nomads on our travels.
