Hi, We are planning to head off to Streaky Bay SA with our dog and would appreciate any advice on caravan parks and Free camping in the area. would Jan/Feb be too hot? Thanks in advance.

Just a quick query for those that know, on reading about slow vans ,how do you get you speedo checked. When I have my very old GPS running there is a difference between it and my speedo. Which is right? I would hate to think that I was travelling at 90k when I was really travelling a lot slower. Just got a uh...

Well, folks, my absence from the forum can be explained this way. Christmas won't be quite the same this year. My poor old 92 year old Dad had a fall and broke his hip. He lasted an incredibly short 36 hours. He passed away last Thursday morning as we were packing the car for Christmas with the family. Fune...

This poem says it all ..... Cheers .. G Another year has passed And we're all a little older. Last summer felt hotter And winter seems much colder. There was a time not long ago When life was quite a blast. Now I fully understand About 'Living in the Past' We used to go to weddings, Football games an...

Folks, not sure if there are any 'diesel experts' out there but this issue we have is this; Mercedes Sprinter MH with only 68,000kms on it (one private owner) and starting about two days ago, the glow plug light comes on AFTER I start the engine! It comes on after 2 seconds and stays lit for only about 30 se...

Hello, This might sound like a silly question, but given that this is our first caravan and that the jerk who sold us the van was not very helpful, here goes. Bare in mind this is a new van, it has a Dometic toilet and cassette. When using the toilet with the 'flap' closed, invariably, we end up with liquid i...

Some interesting points are made, independent testing by a reputable water quality lab would confirm or deny some of the claims. Anyway, download, have a read and make up your own mind. Updated the link - for some re...

Hi to all and happy new year. I am wanting to travel up and down, and up and down again, in the Qld outback. I am wondering when the best time of the year is to do it. I live in Sydney. I did notice today that outback Qld were expecting 50 Degree temperatures over the next few days, so I guess this is not the time t...

We are hoping to sell up and start our Grey Nomad adventure later this year. One issue that we are concerned about is how we will receive any post that is sent to us. We expect this to be minimal as we always choose to receive communication by email where possible. Any hints from current Grey Nomads would...

I have found the Search bar on the Forum and enjoy it, However!!!!! When there are more than 5 posts on a subject, how do you scan down to see the next 5 and the next etc. I only see the 1st 5. I know that this has been answered before but, Seniors Moment, cannot remember what the posts where called. Waiting fo...

A ninety year old aboriginal elder sat in his humpy eyeing two government 'Welfare' officials sent to interview him. One official said to him: "You have observed the white man for 90 years. You have seen his wars and his technological advances. You have seen his progress and the damage he has do...
