Hello all you fellow travellers. I am enquiring on here if anyone would like to travel with another person (male or female).

I am looking at buying a Sunliner Trex for myself as I do not need anything too big. I thought a full size motorhome would be too stressful as I am on my own. Does anyone own one and if so what are your thoughts or do you have any changes that you would have made in hindsight?

I've just got back from my 1st solo trip outback (20days 3700kms). I ended up only going as far as Alice and I didn't end up doing the Oodnadatta Track, which was just as well because the weather suddenly got wet and wild and I would probably still be stuck at William Creek. I got a motel room at Spuds Roadh...

When we go the Solo Grey Nomad thing we have Geography at our command. We see and marvel at the magnificence of Nature. We read all those books and plays we never had time for when W*** once got in the way. Perhaps it is true that when we have been alone for some time and then we interact with other humans, we f...

Looks like I might have found the Mother Lode, here. I'm 72 and all I have is an old dog, an old land cruiser and an 18' caravan. I do a good impersonation of Clink in Hogan's Hero's. I know NOTHING about caravans or the nuances of towing them. I also believe in safety in numbers when travelling. Hoping for y...
