Well our eldest daughter and her husband and kids turned up today with their new camper trailer to stay in the back yard. So cheekily I put up a sign with the nights camping fee, with power of course anyway they got what we thought was a good deal, and we have helped them set up with tables, chairs, BBQ, gas...

Having now been travelling for about two months, I can firmly say that 'Happy Hours' seem to be a myth in free camps/rest areas. I was expecting all the camaraderie of sitting around camp fires, having a couple of beers and being able to get my guitar out and strum along...... Not once has this happened!...

Hello Grey Nomads! I am excited to be joining the ranks of nomads with my husband Rod (aka Eb). We have been traveling for five years in a small, soft-floored camper trailer, but only for short periods up to 4 weeks. Next year, we are selling up and giving this retirement thing a go! We have bought a small,...

Hi Everyone, Firstly one of the gas hose (armoured flexible line) failed on my camper the first night of a trip a few years ago. Looked like it had been crushed somehow. Blamed the cooks son as he was the last to use it. Great cooking for two weeks on one of those single burner gas stoves. Replaced it wit...

I love the tradition of Xmas. There are so many elderly who have been separated from the people they care about especially the young family members, through no fault of their own. Regrettably there is a heck of a lot of parental alienation and that extends to grandparents as well. Some have no famil...

These were places I visited on my recent trip, I later also stayed at the free overnight stop at Borden on the way north to Southern Cross via Hyden and Wave Rock. Didn't stay at Hyden or Wave Rock though, been there before, long way to go unless you are desperate to see it. This is a link to Borden but it is in...

It's a romantic full moon, when Pedro said, "Hey, mamacita, let's do Weeweechu." Oh no, not now, let's look at the moon!" said Rosita. Oh, c'mon baby, let's you and I do Weeweechu. I love you and it's the perfect time," Pedro begged. "But I wanna just hold your hand and watch...

My understanding is that where you all are is called Green Lake and Greens Lake is another location in Victoria. If it is indeed Green Lake and not Greens Lake this could be confusing for anyone trying to find the spot. If that is the case may I suggest you ask Cindy to correct the title to Green Lake? Just a...

A little story to start your Christmas season in the right spirit. When four of Santa's elves got sick, the trainee elves did not produce toys as fast as the regular ones, and Santa began to feel the Pre-Christmas pressure. Then Mrs. Claus told Santa her Mother was coming to visit, which stressed Santa...

Hi everyone, yes we are on the road all the time, well, I should say, 90% of the time. We have a Mercedes Bus which we converted in 2011, having had a Hino for 7 years before that. We are HF radio members, and enjoy all traveling. Finding new friends and places all the time. Call and say Hi when you find us, as w...

Left Lake Ratzcastle this morning thinking that I would free camp at Harrow. Seemed like it suited me by the Glenelg River, and I know the town is a quaint little village. Set course up the back roads for something a little different and once there decided that it was not for me after all, so continued to B...
