I'm referring to an article in the Lifestyle/Nomad News section of thegreynomads.com.au As a resident of Logan, I'd like to comment on the particular sites that the council is talking about.

May I ask how many of you listen to audio books while travelling? I did so on my recent trip and loved them. There was a problem in some areas finding them though without buying them full price.

Hi,there ... Anyone been at Dumeresq Dam recently? A few conflicting posts in other forums re water ... Drinking water there or not or only dam water? Sounds great for a free camp so close to a major city. Looking for a close by destination for a week or two in November .... Many thanks

Am I missing something or is there another way of entering the vehicle de...
