We will be travelling from Renmark to Peterborough (S.A.) and planned to use the Goyder Highway, but the young lady on the GPS insists on sending us via Adelaide, which is about 150km extra distance. When I eventually persuaded her to go via the Goyder the travel time blew out to about 5 hours for a 280km...

We made a decision to do a three day stopover in Moree after travelIng for about 5 days in high 30's temps. We were last year coming out of Qld and were impressed with the pride that This town has, it shows. So as we were in the area we thought we would do a visit once again. Good to see a town that's going somewh...

I'm referring to an article in the Lifestyle/Nomad News section of thegreynomads.com.au As a resident of Logan, I'd like to comment on the particular sites that the council is talking about. Hugh Muntz Park, no, unless they sort out the said 'graffiti, vandalism and loitering. It's right in Beenl...

Having travelled all the way from south coast NSW to Brisbane to help my daughter who's in hospital, by minding t...

Watch out for these 13 year olds. Little Bruce and Jenny are only 13 years old, but they know they are in love. One day they decide that they want to get married, so Bruce goes to Jenny's father to ask him for her hand. Bruce bravely walks up to him and says, "Mr. Smith, me and Jenny are in love and I want t...

There was a papa mole, a momma mole, and a baby mole. They lived in a hole out in the country near a farmhouse. Papa mole poked his head out of the hole and said, "Mmmm, I smell sausage!" Momma mole poked her head outside the hole and said, "Mmmm, I smell pancakes!" Baby mole tried to s...

As you can see, it's coming away with some good gaps all around! I prefer to think this was caused by a long rough road, as opposed to me sitting it. anyway, if anyone has advice on the best way to fix it, or rather the best sealant to use, I'd like to know. I have "Selleys no more gaps" on board, but...

Does anyone know what the protocol is? My Dad would like the Union Jack draped over his coffin when he goes but someone has told my hubby he can't have it because he was in the Royal Navy. Dur? Union Jack is British. They said he would have to have the White Ensign because he was in the Navy. I'm thinking that...

May I ask how many of you listen to audio books while travelling? I did so on my recent trip and loved them. There was a problem in some areas finding them though without buying them full price. They are still expensive? I did find in Queensland that you could become a 6 month travelling member of the lib...

Hi, We have come to a conundrum....where to live for the rest of our lives? We need a hospital and Doctors, this is most important. It must be around a population of 1,000 people and under, so rural. We found the perfect house, but not in a town neither of us really like. We don't hate it, it's just not a tow...

Not happy Jan. We have a 2yr old Jayco poptop with toilet/shower combo. Started thinking about upgrading to full van with ensuite in readiness for our big trip. Hubby rings the dealer and basically we have lost $13000 since we bought it. It is in perfect condition with extra powerpoints etc. Needles...

A while back Copper1 posted a pic or two of his beloved '59 Holden. I didn't think of mentioning it at the time but 3 years ago I photographed an Old Holdens Show 'n' Shine just up the road at Cundletown. If you have a soft spot for the old girls, check out the album.

Set off early and made it down to Victoria by mid day, joined the Hume before Albury and left it for the Yarrawonga turnoff after Wodonga. Quite an experience all that 2 lane highway, I must admit that it was an easy drive my speed was clocked at 84kph when all were passing me in an 110kph zone. Big problems...
