A beaut place to get away from the madding crowd, a settlement, not a town, but a great caravan park and roadhouse (fuel cheaper than some places in Mullewa which are dearer). On the gravel road between Mullewa and Gascoyne Junction. Sometimes the telescopes in the area interfere with wireless int...

Hi all, As Australia's newest grey nomad (I set out on Tuesday morning for the first time), I need to ask what is probably a very stupid question, but how do I know which roads have low bridges crossing them? My motorhome is 2.8m high so I need clearance of at least 3ms. I don't want to be faced with the sit...

New GN's. Met up with Cupie, aka, Graeme and Carol today. A lovely couple who provided a beautiful afternoon tea at their home. It was lovely to meet up with them and have a chat re all things travelling. Spent a few hours, chatting, laughing, eating, in the company of wonderful people. This life real...

Staying at Gin Gin Showgrounds and enjoying a walk up singing and musical show. Goes till Sunday night. I can't sing for nuts but some of the muso's are pretty good.

WooHoo Started a trip yesterday, stayed at Pt Broughton CP last night and now at Crystal Brook free camp. Big freight train going past right now, cheeky bloody driver tooted his very loud horn about 10 meters from the van. This is going to be a great trip, been planning and looking forward to it for ages....

Here we are at free camp and the sun is shining and the birds are chirping etc. My question is that my drifter control panel shows me a constant charge/discharge of the 2 110AH AGMs. I suspect the control panel is cycling the batts, however I thought that only happened when connected to 240V! Is this norm...

I'm in the process of fitting the new replacement microwave oven that Crusader Caravans sent me last week and I have discovered a bit of a panel (yellow area) that may be useful for something. It is easily accessible (now I have found a way to remove the "old" microwave) and as you can see powe...

Met Lorraine and Jan from Perth at Point lowley the last 2 days they are juststarting there 2 year travels as nomads say hello if you meet them

On our last trip away I was washing the breakfast dishes in the van sink. I use cotton dishcloths and had one in hand as I pulled the plug. You guessed it! Down went the dishcloth with the water! I mean, really, the hole in a van sink is barely as big as a 10 cent piece but it just sucked that b****r straight out...

As strange as it may sound, rather than just pack up and go around Oz, we thought it would be a good idea to see if we actually could live in the van definitely,, so we are into a sort of 3 month test at my sisters place to see what needs doing before we take off in October. We have had the van for two years now and b...
