Stopped at Yamba and Coffs harbour
No majors.

Well, I hate to be the one to break it to you, but yes you are - well, according to the southerners fleeing north to escape the cold of winter. Personal choice. I'm glad your trip went well, and there's nothing "odd" about nomads, most of them anyway. We all learn lessons every time we hit the road. That's just life. When we stop learning and looking, we're dead. I don't know about you, but I have a lot of living to do. Cheers Chris

I didnt mean there was anything odd about them ,just a figure of speech maybe a Kiwi saying not used here no ofence intended Mike

Hey mike,I knew that you meant 300 plus.I noticed a lot of vans travelling south on my recent trip,I was a little surprised at the numbers doing so.Cheers Ibbo.

No offence taken, and it's not an exclusive K1W1 expression. It's just my playing with your English - or should I say, "Inglush". If you only saw the "odd" nomads, I just wonder where the "even" nomads were that day? Cheers Chris

we find it quite interesting some of the Ozzy slang, Like going to the Servo with daveO to get some petrol and stopping at the bottleO to get some tinnies on the way home we saw an accident at the corner and the fireys and the AmbO,s were there. LOL So I guess we have a few that are easily confused too cheers mike Must be time for a Schooner or a pot
