G'day. Friends decided to move their caravan out of the local caravan park. They were just week to week renters, but had been there for 12 months. Just prior to leaving, with all monies paid up, they were told that they would have to pay an extra $200, as they hadn't given notice of leaving. Am I missing so...

I have only just recently subscribed to Grey Nomads, and expected to see quite a bit of reference to Metal Detecting activities. Am I not looking in the right places? If so can somebody please point me in the right direction. I have been a Metal Detecting freak since the 1980s, but not for the last 10 year...

It was 55 years ago on Saturday August 5, 1960, probably about 3pm and Val and I had been married exactly 3 weeks. We were living in the Causeway Flats adjacent to the Causeway in Perth WA. Val was taking a bath and I had just finished bringing the furniture off the balcony after spring cleaning our unit. W...

You don't stop laughing because you grow old, You grow old because you stop laughing. Just before the funeral services, the undertaker came up to the very elderly widow and asked, How old was your husband?' '98,' she replied. 'Two years older than me.' 'So you're 96,' the undertaker commented. She re...

Did I say major? Well there is, 80% of the Pacific Highway from just north of Byron Bay to as far as Port Macquarie. I haven't ventured further south yet. Major is a good word to cover it and I tell you that for free. It will be truly amazing when all finished though. No big deal as traffic flow is good but do...

Yep, I have pulled up in Warrnambool, South Coast VIC and staying put here for 3 weeks at this stage. Send up some smoke signals if you are around or passing through. -- Edited by Dougwe on Tuesday 15th of September 2015 07:26:59 PM

One of the vans that we looked at the other day has these motors which drive knurled shafts on the van's tyres so you can move them without the car being attached. By the look of it you can just about turn the van on its own axis. I was wondering, how do you go with the jockey wheel? Often, when trying to hand ma...

This happened a couple of doors down from us, don't know the story behind it yet, maybe someone chose the wrong gear or had a heart attack, odd the way it ended up though. Hope the driver was ok, nobody turned up to remove the car yet. Saw the police driving away from the scene earlier.

Hi, we finally hit the road next wk from MEL thru SA up to Uluru then east to Canberra then coast to SYD. Any tips on nice sites or cool things to see (we have a 3 yr old boy). Then the big lap. Does anyone have a hitch / unhitch cheat sheet they could provide? We did one at our towing course but sure there is a be...

Well Sunday 1pm taught dad and myself a lot about the harsh country we live in but also the proudness of what it means to be 'Australian'! Stuart Hwy decided to chew our tyre up and after the massive explosion of our back tyre I am honoured that my daddios driving skills are professional and experienced....

80-year old Bessie bursts into the rec room at the retirement home. She holds her clenched fist in the air and announces, "Anyone who can guess what's in my hand can have sex with me tonight!!" An elderly gentleman in the rear shouts out, "An elephant? Bessie thinks a minute and says, &...

After looking at my diary and discovering I have an appointment with my Tax Accountant in the morning (Monday) we had to make a hasty departure form Greens today. We had intended staying a couple more days but sadly that was not possible... this time..... We will be back. Thanks for the chats Dave. It w...

Hi all. just wondering if anyone is going to be around the Mt Isa area from Monday 14 Sept or if there are any free or cheap sites to stay at. I'll then be heading to Cloncurry and heading east. Cheers

I am over 60 and the Armed Forces thinks I'm too old to track down terrorists. You can't be older than 42 to join the military. They've got the whole thing ass-backwards. Instead of sending 18 year olds off to fight, they ought to take us old guys. You shouldn't be able to join a military unit until you're a...
