The Grey Nomads - General

Happywanderer · Happywanderer

Doesn't look very nice up there. Bingara is under water. The Newell from Moree to Goondi is closed as is the Gwydir. Just heard on the news a toddler drowned at Bingara, that is very sad. Are all our Grey Nomads safe, the weather has certainly been a bit uncomfortable the last two days.

Is anyone else having problems accessing private messages - my notifier said I had two new pm's - able to access one of them, but not the other, now the first one has disappeared - how come they have "fixed" something that wasn't broken? Nothing wrong with the old way. Have pm'd Cindy.

Today is not a good day. With heavy hearts and many tears we said goodbye to our little Benny today. I often think of him heading straight to the Lake when we arrived and just standing in the shallows. Even Molly didn't upset him. He continued to deteriorate when we came home and then suffered kidne...

Well we bought our Roma caravan brand new from Perth. After 2 years of fobbing off and delays the cracked bench top was going to be fixed, ( what a joke again oops we have been sent the wrong part after the sales person measured it and assured us it was all ordered). So we still have a crack in the bench top. ...

I know the expression, The Big Trip, but I'm interested in hearing from people who are doing the Really big trip. ie. on the road indefinitely. That's what Marian and I plan to do whenever we start this adventure. Do a couple of "settlers" and then just go. Is anyone out there doing this?...

My wife and I plan to become GNs in the nest 12 months, so we have huge gaps in our knowledge and lots of questions. Can someone help with a couple of basics - what are the average fees at dumps points and what's the cost of fresh water? Thanks a lot.
