The Grey Nomads - General

I bought this today at Jaycar/Switched on Electronics. As well as being a torch and a radio it also has a Dynamo wind handle for charging. Can also take batteries, or be plugged into the power. I have it out in the sun at the moment charging the solar panels. $49.95

Listening to weather reports this morning seems as if the whole of Australia is bracing for some really hot summer weather. Please take care everyone. Seems we are heading for conditions similar to 4 years ago when the bushfires in Victoria were at their worse. Whilst it is good to know about the extre...

G'Day, Like many others who like to be nice and do unto others etc etc, I try to make my posts or replies as friendly as possible and try and not be ambiguous or patronising or whatever. (I'm good at that eh!). I try to add an "Emoticon" as a sort of postscript just to ensure what I write is take...

I debated if to put this here or in 'I digress' but thought more people would see it here. I just watched a story on one of the TV Morning shows, they were milking a 2 metre King Brown Snake, scary just the snake but what surprised me the most was the amount of 'Amber' coloured venom they extracted, about 10m...

Kiwi As and Kiwi Rainbow are caught up in this age old question, it was almost answered when a number of GNs spent a short time at Howlong on their way to Greens Lake .... the latest chapter has been exposed ... the answer must surely be "less than a furlong" if you can blink and miss it!!!

I had this sticker made for Lulu, and on advise from GN's, had a male name added to it so that I don't 'advertise' the fact that I'm a female travelling alone. By the way, Mike is the monkey that travels with me. So look out for me now! Woops! sideways Mike!

After a week at Greens I have come back in to Echuca to dog sit till the weekend and do some big shopping. Very disappointed this year, nothing like last years gathering and fun out there.

Rocked into the Tenterfield Showgrounds today thinking it would be a cheap option like in other towns. What a surprise to find it priced at $25 for a powered site for two people. Not much to look at with the toilets etc next to some stables. Back into the main part of town and found Seven Nights Caravan...
