I it is now Friday morning and I arrived here last Tuesday afternoon and after the long trip I am by now relaxing and taking it very easily. Patty (halfpint) was here when I arrived and will be back camping here later, Billeee and Jules were here and soon Sally (Triple333) arrived. So we have had a goo...

Unfortunately due to health reasons we are looking to give up life on the road, leaving our gorgeous van for a permanent site. Does anyone know of a lovely relocatable home within 300km north or north west of the Central Coast NSW? Sad but we have to sell our van and probably the tow vehicle too. Would app...

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...

I'm suffering from my first cold since 2005... the reason I know that, is the use-by date on a packet of Strepsils I have kept "just in case" was 2005! And I want to get better FAST! Having travelled all the way from south coast NSW to Brisbane to help my daughter who's in hospital, by minding t...

I read today 23/10/13 that this State Government (Liberals) is going to charge for camping in the State Feorest's Upwards of $ 39.. per Night What a disastrous thing to do I though we collectively owned the forest...I realize some one has to clean up after some Idiot Campers But this is just anot...

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...

TWO DIFFERENT DOCTORS' OFFICES Two patients limp into two different medical clinics with the same complaint?Both have trouble walking and appear to require a hip replacement. The FIRST patient is examined within the hour, is x-rayed the same day and has a time booked for surgery the following wee...

Hi all pulled up at Walgett this afternoon. Went off and had lunch and then to the supermarket to get some badly needed bit's and pieces only to discover that the IGA supermarket burned down on Sat night. The other issue there are no other outlets in town, we'll looks like simple rations tomorrow for b/f...

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.

Who else likes hats? I've started collecting them for a hobby. I swear I'm turning into Victor Mildrew.
