Anyone travelling in the Bathurst area will find that they can free camp up on Mount Panorama in McPhillamy Park. Facilities are: Electric BBQ and Picnic Tables both under cover, but be careful if your parking your rig too close as they have no gutters and the rain will run down the corrugated roof on...

Was hard getting back on here, as I had to get past the missus and daughter and then ply my way through all of there downloaded (womans) junk..err, sorry girls. Once again I played the part of being a good samaritan by helping an elderly bloke who asked for help. His old Commodore's clutch decided to have...

My family are against me taking off without a plan or destination. But I reckon I'll sleep on it tonight and maybe something will come to mind in...

Glad you all liked the photos of my little A Van. It's like Dr Who's Tardis, bigger on the inside than it is on the outside. To answer those questions: Tows like a dream. Takes about two minutes to put up by myself with one hand tied behind my back (only if I'm showing off!). Inside, there's a table and seati...

I reckon either we are on rations, or all our Solo Nomads have scampered and heading for them far horizons. How lucky can you get. I'm sitting here listening to my folk hero Slim Dusty's Family Reunion Album, and now my feet are itchy with them musical adventures. But, after helping my daughter with c...

Where are you Dave, I, for one miss you, I miss your good advice, the fun and good jokes we had, regardless of if your single, solo or otherwise I would like to see you ( and anyone else for that matter) come back and post in the solo forum. I think it is a disgrace that you started the Solo forum and now you do...

My first experience driving in mud. It had rained pretty well during the night and for no reason at all I decided to take a short cut, on a road I had never travelled before. Everything was going pretty well until I came to gravel road. I never drive on gravel roads, I always turn back no matter how...

I'd be really interested in your thoughts on the following if you don't mind: 1) what do you love about the "grey nomad" lifestyle? 2) how much time have you spent on th...

One of the ar...

Are you a solo traveller or just thinking about setting off on the adventure of a lifetime on your own? Do you want to ask some questions of those who have gone before, or perhaps to offer some tips and advice. Are you looking for someone to share a leg of your journey with? Or do you just want to touch base wi...

My work had me such where, from a young age, I "had" to go to many places. I did not see it as anymore than "what i had to do". Having seen a fair bit of Aussie, and then going O/S, I can comfortably say, Aussie has all the sites available anywhere in the world. The only problem, as I saw i...
