I note the article " NO free For All " on the Nomad home page states .... ' It seems like our friends across the Bass Strait ".... referring to an article on NZ camping issues
Last time I was in NZ I had to cross the Tasman Sea - didnt go over Bass Strait ))

What a shame you don't camp like we do !!
Sometimes misteaks are made or someone misreads................it isn't that important. You got the message!! Sometimes we even get it rite!!
Keep reading and enjoy your perfection.

Ahaa! So our cunning plan has worked. Congratulations to Kiwi Angler for being the first to spot our deliberate mistake on the Nomad. New Zealand does of course lie across the Tasman Sea, not the Bass Strait, as stated. The decision to put in incorrect information was taken at the highest level in order to check out exactly who was paying attention to our words of wisdom. So, once again congratulations to Kiwi Angler.The experiment was so successful that we may well be making another deliberate mistake again at some stage in the future. Please read your Nomad closely each and every day. The first to spot the next error will receive a free Grey Nomad sticker (whether they want one of not!) Thanks, guys.

Did you remember to turn off the lights and lock the door before returning to Oz?

Actually I do camp - have done for many years not sure where or how you could deduce from my 1 post that I didnt
Sometimes mistakes ARE made - and sometimes mistakes are CORRECTED

Hi ibbo,
how did you get DICKEY passed the censor. I had trouble with ****PIT ( ie C O C K P I T) when posting a joke to the just joking forum.
Jim
The asterisks are the censor's, not mine.

acording to my little GPS - It states when you put in New Zealand - First head for Tasmania then sharp LEFT - continue on for 2 days then sharp left again..........
So it is in Bass Strait.... Dont believe everything you read in an Atlas.
