Once up on top and a bit of speed up with air flow, all was well. Will do a trip around the Mountains tomorrow, i see there is still a bit of snow up there. If all goes w...

Hi all. Day before yesterday our M/W died. It has a 5 year warranty so we had to pack it up & send it to Melbourne. Of course us grey nomads don't have big cardboard boxes sitting in our cupboards. So after scavenging around skips behind Harvey Normans etc we found a couple of boxes which we coul...

We're having a busy time here, but I've finally managed to get on GN's for an update. We're now on our 3rd night at The Big 4 at Dandenong South. It's a good park, even though it's on a major road and at the edge of an industrial estate, it's been no problem. On Saturday we caught the bus right out the front an...

Gday... Changed my plans and went direct to Mendooran campground, did not pass GO, did not go to gaol but did not find my flamin' $200 . However, I am very glad I made the change in plans.

Looking at low cost/free camping by a river in the Kingston/Robe/Portland area, (SA/Vic) in the new year, so I can do a bit of fishing. Appreciate any good areas to camp. I realise that its probably the busiest time of the year for these locations. Thanks Peter
