Hello all . Have just received our local paper. In it was a report about the Motorhome crash I posted on Sunday 9th Dec. Unfortunately the 81 yr old driver from NSW passed away from his injuries. He was the sole occupant of the vehicle. The accident happened about 7.15am. So sad :(

What a harrowing drive to get out through the Melbourne traffic & head north. So glad to leave all that urban area behind. The job with our gas tank took only 1 day instead of the 2 they had predicted because of all the prep work that Keith did. Because of the modification Keith had done the tank cou...

Phew - at last the job is done. Today the large gas tank was taken out of the motorhome & a smaller one installed complete with the necessary compliance plate. Now maybe Keith can relax a bit even if the job has left us a bit poorer. Oh well money isn't everything.

There is an article on the home page about Coffs Harbour and one of the respondents said for them it will become a "drive Thru" town.. For me Dunidoo is a drive thru town becoz they are Nomad unfriendly..

So cheekily I put up a sign with the nights camping fee, with power of course anyway they got what we thought was a good deal, and we have helped them set up with tables, chairs, BBQ, gas...

Having now been travelling for about two months, I can firmly say that 'Happy Hours' seem to be a myth in free camps/rest areas. I was expecting all the camaraderie of sitting around camp fires, having a couple of beers and being able to get my guitar out and strum along...... Not once has this happened!...

These were places I visited on my recent trip, I later also stayed at the free overnight stop at Borden on the way north to Southern Cross via Hyden and Wave Rock. Didn't stay at Hyden or Wave Rock though, been there before, long way to go unless you are desperate to see it. This is a link to Borden but it is in...
