Well here we are safely ensconced in the Bass Coast of Victoria. Our time in Devonport was spent catching up with other GN's and sightseeing. Wednesday we spent time meeting some lovely Nomads. (See Mongrel's earlier posts.) Thursday took us along the coast road to Stanley. We took heaps of ph...

I was wondering if someone could help me out with this question. We are soon going away in the van hoping too do some free camping and have been told that in some free camps you need to contain your grey water. We are looking for a portable grey water tank about 40/50 litres. We have tried lots of caravan spa...

Checked out the rust removal work, paid the man and set off from the Gold Coast. Again not used to the trip over the Gateway and the heavy traffic just to get there but kept on keeping on and eventually after a Maccas breakfast and an Aldi grocery shop I ended up at Laurie's place near Zillmere. Had plenty t...

We have a Nissan 3L turbo (not the best choice but what we could afford) and a 13ft Jayco Freedom pop-top caravan which we love! Heading off from Perth, first st...

After lurking around on this site for a few months, we have finally decided that you are a friendly lot, and have come out of hiding. I am a recently retired m...

While at Greens Lake this year a few GNs were noticed retrieving "rubbish" from the garbage bin. Last year KA retrieved a table, two brooms and a broom handle from the skip at Greens. I was wondering what things others have retrieved from rubbish dumps, skips etc.

Had a great time on the Vic Parks stand for the past 2 days and enjoyed the opportunity to meet many newcomers looking to upgrade or purchase their mode of accommodation to begin their travels. It was good to hear the enthusiasm at a time when things are tough out there but realise for many of them time can...
