We have a 2005 model Jayco Heritage with a winguard aerial to which I added the winguard extension a couple of years ago, as we are going digital within the next week and we will be relaxing in the van beside the beach on the Central Coast will our current aerial work or will we need to go digital. If we need t...

Have a friend who is parking his caravan up for a few months. What does he need to do to make sure that his deep cycle batteries do not fail. Should he keep everything connected or disconnect it all?

Given that the 9Kg bottle re-fills are a ripoff can you mount a 45 Kg bottle on a van? I just paid $100 for a re-fill on the bottle here @ home - much more economical.

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? Just a suggestion, could all the Greens Lake constant chatter be moved to the I digress section. Most of th...

Then we are going to Brian's at Lilydale where he is kindly going to help with the removal of the old (large) one. While we are there Keith should be able to help Brian with...

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...

John and Yvonne were 85 years old and had been married for sixty years. Though they were far from rich, they managed to get by because John watched their pennies. Though not young, they were both in very good health, largely due to Yvonne's insistence on healthy foods and exercise for the last decade. O...

We spent a week in Perth (flew over) to see Sandra's son & grandsons plus my daughter & granddaughters as it will be about 18 months before we manage to do the gypsy thing over that way. Arrived back last Friday, picked up the van then headed south. A couple of days in Parkes to see my parents the...

We went behind the village tavern where you leaned against the fence and I made love to you . - Yes, I remember well . - OK , what do you think to take a walk around there and we c...
