bowsie1 · bowsie1

Afternoon all. We are awaiting delivery of our new van, which has a Truma Avanti aircon. unit. The supplier has told us that a Honda 2.0kva inverter generator would suffice to operate it, providing no other 240 volt appliance is being used. This would be fine with us, as a 3kva is too big and bulky for our...

This is just for anyone heading for northern Qld (or already there). In addition to the famed Comfort Stop the good people of Home Hill have opened up their showground. And a very nice place to stop it is. It costs $10 a night for a powered site - the same for unpowered (they like to keep things simple) so...

For those grey nomads already up here in sunny NQ, a must see is the recently opened Avenue of Honour at Tinaburra on the banks of Lake Tinaroo On the Atherton Tableland west of Cairns.

Has anyone heard where they are seeing whales in SA. We have been told to head for a place called Cactus Beach just below Penong on the Eyre Hwy just past Ceduna. Any comments on this would be most welcome. Thanks Brian and Cheryl

We went for a drive out to Murray Falls for a look around and to see how many Nomads were out there enjoying the place. Walking around and having a chat to some of the lucky travellers, I noticed a large branch had broken off the Bluegum Tree next to the couple we were talking to. I pointed it out the guy and...

G'day We are planning a trip to Karumba via Charters Tower at the end of next month. We are towing a large van with a Triton V6 petrol motor. My concern is if there plenty of places where I can fill up along the way, as I don't have long range fuel tanks. I also believe it's illegal to carry fuel in jerry c...

Have moved into the van so was updating details on the car insurance today. Apparently as I will have no fixed address the underwriters will not insure me and my policy will expire next week!! As it happens we have a fixed address until mid August and then we hit the road. I explained that this is a friends...

I'm going to be getting to Townsville in a few days (prob around Friday) and I'm looking for somewhere cheap to stay - doesn't have to be fancy.
