Aged 77yrs.......I enjoyed her books....

When turning fridge on gas the tiny red needle does not move more than 2mm from the left to right, towards the green, to let me know it is working. It does not reach into the green area. What have others found? Heading the last couple of hours to home today. Aussie Paul.

can anyone help me please. I remember hearing about a couple who bought a caravan park somewhere inland NSW and have turned it into a base for caravan/motor homers. I was telling someone about it the other day and I can't for the life of me remember where it is. I think its inland about as high up as Coff...

This is my first post. We are only Nomads in training at the moment. We are planning a road trip in the middle of the year. We have thought about visiting the Valley of the Lagoons in Queensland. Is there a camping area there? I have not been able to find any information on one.

Hi folks well have been over to Canberra and back today with C2 for her specialist appointment and home, in time to give Gary Kelly a call in hospital tonight. Gary would like to let everyone know that he hope's to be out of hospital in a few days and return home. He said that after his procedure to have the...

Those of you who have been on the road for a couple of years, do you wish for more storage space. I think one area that (small) fifth wheelers may be a let down is with storage. I have gone and brought an extra cab ute, with the idea that the hitch would be placed over the back wheels of the ute, perhaps a dual ca...

This is not a caravan question but is indirectly a travel question since I will mostly use my new tablet when travelling. I do not own a modern mobile phone. Mine is so old you fill in the blanks with semaphore signals. My question is does anyone know of a site I can visit that will give me concise and preci...

Had a look at a new Colorado the other day. My biggest disappointment with it was no CD player. All set up for IPhone or usb. I know how to put songs on a usb stick and have a pc with lots of songs. However, it got me to thinking how many older people out there don't have the equipment and know how to do so. When tr...

We are in the process of sorting out a design requirement for a fifth wheeler van. I was advised by the manufacturer yesterday that the layout I was aiming for would be better with more length, maybe 24 foot. This is probably the equivalent of a 20 foot normal van in towing length. However the wife keeps g...

I haven't seen any posts from bieffe (Brian) recently. Anyone know if he is still around? Regards Chris

Paddy was driving down the street in a sweat because he had an important meeting and couldn't find a parking space. Looking up to heaven, he said, "Lord, take pity on me. If you find me a parking space, I will go to Mass every Sunday for the rest of me life and give up me Irish whiskey!"Miraculou...

G'Day all,I haven't seen any recent posts on tow vehicles (tugs). I am looking at something for the long haul after I get out of company cars later this year. I currently have a Coromal 16' pop top (around 1150kg tare, so probably around 1400 - 1500kg gross) and been looking at dual cab 4x4 diesels, pr...

After a suggestion that the Grey Nomads at Happy Hour are not identified I have decided with their permission to put up photos identifying some of the Grey Nomad forum members currently here at Greens. This thread can be edited to add others as they arrive. If I have stuffed up any names just let me know a...

RARE PHOTO OF 1940 TOUR DE FRANCE

This happened to an Englishman in France who was totally drunk. The French policeman stops his car and asks the gentleman if he has been drinking. With great difficulty, the Englishman admits that he has been drinking all day, that his daughter got married in the morning to a French man, and that he dra...
