The Grey Nomads - General

Teresa · Teresa

We've just moved into a unit in Ballarat and were wondering if anyone knew of any storage areas nearby for our van. We don't mind if it's out of town a bit. We did ring Storage King but they want $100 per month and another mob want $25 per week or part thereof. This seems a bit steep, but wondered if this is th...

I saw some members of this Association out on a ride this morning, they looked like a mixed chapter of their Association, from their colours, they have three chapters, Police, Ambulance and Fire Fighters.

Howdy all, Just a quick one please. Would someone tell me what the road from Bega across to the Monaro Hwy is like please. I know what the Monaro is like and have travelled it before. I am thinking of going that way up to Penrith NSW as it one hour shorter than up the coast.

Travelling from East to West where is the best place to leave your caravan and then to go and travel the Great Ocean Road for the day or maybe overnight in a hotel/motel if necessary? Returning then to the caravan and then continue westwards. Any suggestions would be appreciated. CJ
