Would like to be able to use the wiki camps app, including satellite setup app as my Samsung Galaxy Tab A does not have a compass module built in. It also seems like a lot of phones no l...

Hi guys"n"dolls. I have only been doing this retired and travelling thing for only a month now. I am blown away by the amount of people who have been on the road for years, but ask them if they kept a diary, or blog, or are keeping track of where they stay, how long they stay, services where they stay, near to...

Little Johnny found this so exciting that he could hardly contain himself as he ran home and started to tell his Mother. 'Mummy,...

We've all seen how obtaining news about what's going on in the world or locally used to come via the newspaper, then radio, TV and currently computer news either free or subscribed. Anyway I reckon it's just about arrived at a point where it can take your breath away in the way it's done with drone footag...

Camped at Copeton Dam (Eastern Shore) - near Inverell NSW - Yeoeleven (John) for those that know him - you can imagine how excited he was when this was on his line. He had put it out overnight with a bell on it - went to bed, never heard it ring. Luckily others camped nearby did, and pulled it in. Well done...

Have spent the last month travelling around Western Victoria just being a gypsy. No plans in particular other than seeing many of the out of the way places I have not been to before.
