OK back in the 1980s-90s while living in Kalgoorlie, one of our favourite pastimes was catching Yabbies in many dams around Kalgoorlie. They make a fabulous Sunday Arvo meal, and no dinner cooking on Sun night. I haven't heard of people going Yabbying for Donkey's ages. If anybody knows of any Yabbie...

Can anyone tell me the pro's and con's of using a heat reflective roof coating for top of the van. Will this exercise give us relief from the summer sun. I read somewhere where this guy painted the van roof with protective paint and was happy with the heat relief generated. Jay&Dee

Just been talking to the lady who cleans the amenities block here at Benarkin & we inspected the damaged coin boxes. The good news is that these boxes were especially designed by a security firm & although you can pull the outer casing off the money is actually in a box that is like a safe. So th...

I have just dropped a couple of notes in the I digress forum below, and thought maybe a couple of NORMAL Grey Nomads might like to read it. The subject is, I think, I Digress. To the knockers I really am trying hard. Simmo.

This year the weather gods were kind to us for our get together here in Seabird WA, and we had about 14 or 15 vans here, had a blast. Most have left now, those of us who are still here are mostly from over East, and we will all be leaving over the next few days to continue our travels. Sufil (Sue and Phil and dau...

Conversation after the first woman landed on the moon. Houston, we have a problem. What? Never mind. Whats the problem? Nothing. Please tell us? Im fine. Aussie Paul.

Wow, I am sick to death of answering the phone to here, "Is that Tom Brown" or "Is that Mary Smith" or "who am I talking to"? As far as I am concerned they are arrogant, ignorant, mental retards. If I ring somebody I say, "It is John here", and carry on. More oft...

Gday... Cheers - John

Hi, has anyone camped at Lake Murphy near Taroom Qld?

OK, it is Sat night and I have had a couple of sherbets, but think I am still in control. When I tell my friends my hair is naturally as black as coal, and I use a grey tint in my hair so I can qualify as a grey Nomad, they all look at me a bit funny like. I am curious to know if, I am on my own in this trauma, or are ther...

I have bought this to be able to monitor current. I don't understand where to put this device to make it work. The instructions leave a little to be desired fort my simple brain!! I am hoping to measure current into and out of the house batteries. Aussie Paul. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/3810993601...

An elderly couple, who were both widowed, had been going out with each other for a long time. Urged on by their friends, they decided it was finally time to get married. Before the wedding, they went out to dinner and had a long conversation regarding how their marriage might work. They discussed finan...
