The Grey Nomads - General

Beth54 · Beth54

When I arrived here at Iluka, I'd driven a long way, I was hot and sticky and tired, so my reversing into my spot wasn't as good as usual. An old gent came along and said do 'this this and this & we'll just push it over'. What the? What it boiled down to was that I wasn't straight against the concrete slab,...

Just spent a great 12 days out at Greens Lake. So good to meet new grey nomads there for the first time. Thank you to The Kiwis for some wonderful meals on quite a few occasions. Even though I was unwell most of the time out there I did manage to have a little taste and was able to enjoy the company anyway. Mad...

Hi Guys, Looking at buying a new fridge due to an expanding family and a mate suggested the Primus Mammoth 65 dual zone (wife wants to take icecreams for the little ones). Has anyone had any experience with one of these or heard good or bad reports? From what I can see they are exactly the same as the evako...

We are settling in for summer at Rye, it's a beautiful privilege to be able to stay on family property down here, BUT, even though the neighbours have gone out of their way to greet us, we are missing "Happy Hour" chats.... Wondering if there are any other GNs in the vicinity now or over summer...

After oohing and aahing we finally hit the road to free camp along the Murray. Little did we know that we would hit a high (phew!) in the weather but also the start of the fishing season! We headed for Cobram last Sunday from Mornington, Vic and eventually found River Road at the Cobram/Barooga Bridg...

If you have a small caravan or any sized van What do you do when bad weather strikes? Like the current heat wave and thunder storms etc?

Hi Folks, over the years of caravanning, I have reached the following conclusions. If you leave the roof hatch open when you retire for the night there will be a distinct possibility of rain before morning. If you are on a winding road in the forest you will only meet a log truck on a hairpin bend. If you fa...

Hi to all happy campers out there We are also in the very early stages of planning a 3 month trek to Cape York and beyond, although this might change as we approach the time of departure.
