Hi recently moved to Perth and plan to take the van out to see the wildflowers mid Sept. Would appreciate any suggestions on where to base ourselves.

I was just wondering how many of us Grey Nomads check our gas hot water anode to see if it is still serviceable. We check after we have been on a long trip lasting many weeks. Failure to do so and replace if necessary will save heaps of dollars on a replacement hot water system. It should be come part of the c...

In April next year some rellos are coming to Australia and they are avid glampers from Canada and I want to take them to a half dozen really nice camps out here. Its going to be very difficult to compete with their country so some input from others would be helpful. Seaside would be a hit I would think. NO...

Some time ago there was discussion on what was the 'average' fee to use a caravan park, with various opinions. This may come as a wake-up for many caravanners? For self-contained full-time travellers like me this equates to an annual saving of $27,000+. Not 'Chicken Feed' Makes spending a bit of mon...

I hope that I am not preaching to the converted but theres a free app that every grey should have: What.three.words Go see it for your own good. All first responders recommend it and it is so handy when talking to others about location. You can tell anyone exactly where you are in 3 words anywhere on t...

Howdy all, Besides the obvious problems of getting and choosing the right RV which I am starting on now, as the title suggests, how o you come up with an itinerary ?

Can anybody help identify this piece of equipment that is on display in a WA small town museum? The old chap who volunteers at the museum says that he's been trying for years to identify it. The handles are about 18 (450mm) long and one appears to be adjustable in length, but there is a strange hook on th...

Rather curious, I find, how many Grey Nomads do not identify by First Name on this Forum and choose to remain "Anonymous" behind Avatars and Pseudonyms. I tend to seek a First Name when responding to posts, but hey, I may be old school.

Two old ladies are sitting at a bus stop, smoking. It begins to rain, and one old lady pulls out a condom, stretches it out, snips the tip off, and puts it over her cigarette so she can smoke without her cigarette getting damp. The other old lady thinks that it is a nifty trick and asks her what she put over he...
