Four old retired guys are walking down a street in Cooktown. They turned a corner and see a sign that says, Old Timer's Bar - all drinks 10 cents! They look at each other, and then go in, thinking this is too good to be true. The old bartender says in a voice that carries across the room, 'Come on in a...

Its been about 15 years since we holidayed in Canberra and we're currently here for 4 days. Very pretty, lovely pink and white flowering trees everywhere, but without doubt the worst place to navigate your way around. The War Memorial was fantastic, but a real maze trying to find your way around. I tu...

Today my wife and I strolled through Ray's Outdoors and BCF to see what caravan related products were on offer. Sadly there wasn't that much. So, I'd like to here from the knowledgable ones where are the good walk in stores particularly around Melbourne and eastern suburbs where we can look at carav...

I have just removed the airconditioner pod from the roof of my 21 foot van and will need to replace the air vent (the type with the 4 separate adjustable flaps) since they leak like crazy. The aircond unit has left behind about 2 square foot hole in the roof and the vent about 4. I have about 48 square foot co...

We had a visit from Wombat and his lovely wife on Wednesday. We sat and chatted (and seemed to graze constantly) for about 4 hrs. They are coming to the Seabird Get Together. It isn't very often he comes out of his burrow so we are looking forward to catching up with them again in a few weeks

There are thousands of caravans camped out at in Birdsville for the races. I can't believe the are no Grey Nomads here. If you are here, I can be found at the Markets near the Information Centre. We have an opal stall called " Alladins Opals" Come on over. The kettles on.

We have a recently installed Webasto diesel heater which we are really pleased with. However with spring just a few days away I am thinking about the summer months & the heater laying idle. I am aware that the recommendation is to run the unit at least once a month at full belt for 20 minutes or so. Bu...

Hoping to travel from the Hunter Valley to Ceduna then to Maralinga during April, May 2016. Wondering if any one would like to tag along/in front/behind/in and out along the way. Very early in planning stages so curious to know if others are interested in the journey.

Hi folks My wife and I are looking at becoming grey nomads. I'm still working so trips around Australia will be some time off, yet. We're looking at both a caravan and a vehicle with which to tow it. World of Caravans have so many. Spoilt for choice at that particular outlet. Towing vehicle short l...

Boy, this is going to cause some upsets for some, I can see both the for and against cases for this proposal. I wonder if in the case of complexes of just 4 units, if three decide to sell the fourth owner will have no option (75% decide to sell) or will it be restricted to multi unit complexes only See; http...

Hi All, I was feeling poorly this morning, so gave myself the morning off and went to the Penrith Caravan show here in Sydney. I made enquiries as to adding an extra 120watt solar panel on top of the new van, giving us a total of 240 watts. Cost = $630.00 extra fitted. Is this about right, Or are we been had....

We run 24 volt DC to 12 volt DC 40 amp converters in the bus I have one that is stop supplying the 13.9 volt on the outlet side, instead the power out starts at 24 volts and quickly dies to about 3 volts over about 30 seconds. Can any one advise some one in the South Brisbane area that does repairs to electronic...

Hi. We're new to the world of caravanning. So new in fact that we don't own one yet! Anyway. I'm reading up on the accessories for vans including solar power. They all seem to run separate systems. Ie. 12v and 240v. How come they don't have systems configured like your house that is. The solar PV and i...

Around Melbourne, at Woolworth's supermarkets, there's an amazing deal happening twice a day. 11.30am and now 3.30pm, 7 DAYS A WEEK. Fruit and vegetables, as much as you can cram into one of their green bags, at the low price of $4.00 per bag. You'd be amazed how much you can fit in. Some is a little brui...

Hi Just putting it out there if anyone has a suggestion for a good caravan park to stay at in Cairns. Preferably a quiet park without all the children friendly stuff. Don't get me wrong here we love kids but as there is only the two of us travelling and would like a bit of quiet time away outside school holid...

HI We would like to travel back from Carvarvon gorge via another route to Brisbane ie not via Dalby, Roma and the Warrego Highway. We are looking at staying somewhere along the coast but not 1770 or Agnes water. Can anyone recommend a good route and worthwhile things to see along the way as well as a good...
