First Venture in the RV
(Preview)
Thought I would give the thumbs up to Morisset (NSW) Showground. My 1st venture was not too far but a reunion of work buddies on the Central Coast (NSW). I decided to stay just an hour away on the travel night so I would be bright eyed and bushy tailed for the 4 day weekend. Thinking I would stay well I don't k...

Impressions of a new solo nomad

Solos? What Solos?
