Great dinner, thanks Mel (MSG) - beef was cooked to perfection as was the rest of the meal - though I still reckon Steve and Billeeeeeee should have done the dishes!!!!!!

Yay!!! We were supposed to leave on our trip some time ago, but the passing of both our mothers within 4 months of each other, followed by my hospital visits culminating in the removal of the gall bladder sort of delayed us somewhat. Now we are going,(well in 2 days time).Heading for Maryborough VIC for...

G'Day, like many other GNs, we prefer to buy Australian. With toothpaste there has only been one 'normal' type of toothpaste (white, mint flavoured) that is locally made - Cedel brand. It sells for about $2 and is usually hidden in the supermarket behind a post down the bottom. The good old brands like...

Hi We have to travel to Bundaberg on business and am wondering if anyone knows of any free/cheap camp sites in the area . We may as well make the trip a short holiday if there is somewhere to park up or a few days Cheers

Yes Lorraine and I are in Derby, after three weeks on the Gibb River Road. Some of our family and friends were starting to get a bit worried but all is good now. We did Mitchell Falls. I walked in and out and Lorraine got the chopper out. There was a lovely lot of water going over the falls, I was a it worried as...

Hi All, Has anyone fitted the above, if so what do you think of it. I am looking to reduce the sway when being overtaken by B-Doubles etc. or in crosswinds. Regards Chris

Not sure how many GN's are on Facebook, but my grandkids tell me you sell, sway and buy on Facebook now. We're currently in Townsville and the local one looks like this: https://www.facebook.com/groups/242712275781742/

I had a lovely long day trip on Wednesday to check out camp sites in the Scenic Rim. So I thought I'd share what I found. I was particularly looking at free or cheap camps. I didn't check the CAW book for these, but found them in several other places. http://scenicrimescapes.com.au/ http://truecampin...

Hi all Someone mentioned to me that Gil has bore baths. I can' seem to find anything on the net. Does it exist, and if so, where? Any other suggestions on things to see between there and Lightning Ridge? Safe Travels John & Mardi

After being up the Cape for over two weeks ,as we started to travel back down we were freezing.( even in our sleeping bags at night ) so we pulled out our thermal long johns and long sleave singlet and we slept in them and was not cold again. So anyone who has not got heating for one reason or another maybe gi...

Had a phone call the other day to ask if I was still interested in buying an Aussie Wide van. Turns out someone has bought them out and are continuing with them, but, unsure if they are retaining the name. I THINK the guy said Kingdom, but not sure if I heard that part correctly. Interesting with Creative a...

Duration 9-12 months touring N.T. and W.A. What in incredible age we have lived in. Seen man on the moon,heard the most incredibl...

And I did try hard to get those boys to come out to play but alas it was a no show. It might have to be divine intervention to get them all here together at the same time I think. Can not play by myself in here it is no fun doing the stirring without anyone. I'm going to take my bat and ball back to the loungeroom...

A couple go for a meal at a Chinese restaurant and order the 'Chicken Surprise. The waiter brings the meal, served in a lidded cast iron pot. Just as the wife is about to serve herself, the lid of the pot rises slightly and she briefly sees two beady little eyes looking around before the lid slams back down...

During mid to late September, I would like to take a leisurely weekend trip from Perth to Wave Rock and back. Is there a set circuit? There is an interesting write up about the Tin Horse Highway in the latest issue of the CMCA magazine which, because its close to Hyden I want to incorporate in the trip. Al...
