Mike47 · Mike47

Hi Folks Today Im at a rest area called Yellowpinch Dam, about 10kms north of Merimbula on the NSW south coast. I've been here for two days and there are no signs anywhere saying anything about length of stay and there have been 3 or 4 vans or motorhomes here each night but with one exception, they only see...

I am putting this post on here because I think it is mainly we solo's who feel this kind of vulnerability! Headed into the Grampians area and thought I would stay at Lake Lonsdale. Red tick in the book! Got to the boat ramp, down a obviously disused road to find just toilets sitting there and a boat ramp to a...

Hi everyone and belated happy New Year. We have been away in NZ for a couple of weeks and I must say I was amazed at the beauty and variety found there. Having spent a few days in Auckland around the notrth shore the ocean scenery is very spectacular. We then travelled to the Corromandel Penninsula...

Bubs made mention of writing up the trip. I think that if we feel comfy writing about trips both long and short, it's a great thing to do, almost theraputic in a way as it really makes one think about the people you meet, places you visit etc and great to read again later too. I started writing about my trip...

Well gidday... I am soon about to head off on my first around Oz trip, and while searching for some information (which I didn't end up finding), I came across this forum. At this point I don't have any real plan of attack (route), although I have decided to start out by going to Tasmania around May (off-pe...

Well, the worst of it is over. The run up from Perth to Laverton was fine, as it was bitumen all the way. Laverton to Giles (more-or-less the WA/NT border) was mostly good, as good as a gravel road anywhere. From the NT border onwards, although the road was fairly good, there had been a lot of rain through...

Whoopee, on the road again, After cooling the tyres here in Bendigo for a while, we have accumalated all the gear required for the conversion, saved a bob or two compared with what it would have cost in the central highlands as well and we are on the way at last, bloody cold wind here, so will welcome the h...

I have been absent from the forum for sometime, as I was selling up. This has happened today. I am now officially unemployed, and retired. Off tomorrow to pick up my truck, and then start the adventure. On my return, hope to post lots of jokes

It's 08:15 and I am just about to walk out the door and take off on the permanent holiday. I'll probably be out of range of the wireless broadband until New Year's so Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all GN's everywhere. Mike

Hi everyone. Over the past 12 years I have been living and working away from my family. They're in SA and I was in the Kimberleys. I made it routine to go south every second year. On the alternate years I would join fellow van park residents in an "Orphan's Christmas" where whoever came along...

G'day all - although most of the Nomadic wheels I see on my travels are four or more - sometimes many more - I'm a member of the 2-wheeled variety. I ride a Honda ST1300 and put in somewhere around 20000 km each year in outback touring - mainly staying in camp and tourist parks along the way. The camping gear...

Well, after a few failed attempts to get away for some 'time out' by myself , it now feels very close to a fresh start happening again. I have just returned home to Adelaide from Sydney with a wonderful Mercedes Benz Campervan. The internal fit out is as if I had planned it myself. The unit is as new, 59,00...
