Hi to everyone, just joined the Grey Nomads forum. My name is Peter (68) and wife Kate (66) and we live on the sunshine coast, Queensland.

G'day gas people. I bought a new gas regulator and hose but I need to get the old one off first. I've tried undoing the nuts with a pair of spanners but I can't shift them. Any suggestions or tips?

Travelling around this great land of ours is one step closer now with the house just put on the market and our decision on a rig almost made. Should be putting in our order within the next few weeks. All very exciting!!

To get a camp fire going quickly I use cotton wool balls with vaseline. Just rub petrolium jelly into cotton wool balls. Put them into a zip bag or storage container for future use. Really gets the fire started.

A very interesting 3 days it was. Yesterday a family came on for an overnight stay. They were in the biggest holiday bus I'd ever seen. It was an old Adelaide Transit bus. Twice as long with the concertina middle.I've got photos but can't upload them till I get home. Dad and a tribe of snotty nosed kids. Mu...

Here I am again. Now it's time to tell you a bit about my retirement plan. I'm 48 now and become 49 this year. The plan is, to hand in my leaving notification on my 58th birthday.
