Ladies and Gents, does anyone have any top tips for keeping a GPS fixed to the windscreen??? We have a Garmin Nuvi (great GPS) and a Mercedes Sprinter MH. Can I keep the GPS fixed to the windscreen?

The solos section was started for solos, as Cindy says in her introduction to the solos section Are you a solo traveler or just thinking about setting off on the adventure of a lifetime on your own?

G'day fellow GN's. We are about to start our next leg of the Big Lap from Tamworth across the West to Broken Hill and was wondering if any of you had any top tips for free camps along the way? We are driving a Sprinter Jabiru and are self contained but SWMBO (She who must be obeyed) still likes to have a toilet...

so much for all the knockers of Tassie and the free camping disappearing, this is a must read. On top of this new location you have free camping on the river bank with toilets about 2 km away. Then head to the iconic Stanley and you will find free camping along the beach front (about 1km from a c/p) and free c...

Things like locations to camp, access for caravans, etc. Finally I guess, should one even bother looking for his fortune there...

On a bitterly cold winter morning a husband and wife in Dublin were listening to the radio during breakfast. They heard the announcer say, "We are going to have 8 to 10 inches of snow today. You must park your car on the even-numbered side of the street, so the Snow ploughs can get through. "...

An attorney arrived home late, after a very tough day trying to get a stay of execution for a client, James Wright . His last minute plea for clemency to the governor had failed and he was feeling worn out and depressed. As soon as he walked through the door, his wife started in on him about, 'What time of ni...
