Well Matilda may not have a fancy certificate but she sure is a companion for me. Last night a log that was a little hollow was sending smoke out into the hut.......she barked.....just once to wake me up. There was no danger of the hut burning down but smoke inhalation is no fun. Certificate or not sh...

Has anyone come across them on the GRR during t...

Hey all, finally met up with Duh - share a coffee and many stories. It is always good to catch up with fellow GNs. Still in the process of organising general meet up at Rockingham

Hi folks. The call of the road is getting strong and it's time I got serious about travelling. I have so many questions to ask and none of my existing friends are GNs so this is the only place for me to look for some sensible advice. In the past I've done lots of travel but only in limos and 5 star hotels, sadly...

I've not done the trip before and would love to meet some nomads along the way. Hope to hear from you. c...

Another good spot is Schultz Beach on the western side of Lake Hindmarsh. There is plenty of room for any rig, it has a toilet block, is free, and while the water level is a bit low there is good redfin fishing in the lake.

Hi all - half way through our maiden voyage and presently at Ilfacombe east of Longreach - interested in reports on Jerico River from anyone who has camped there recently. Sick of lugging 2 kayaks across QLD and with the exception of one place, they have not seen a drop of water ..... plenty of dust, ple...

Was amazed to hear on the radio today that in central QLD there is 50 different road repairs going on at the same time.

Been offered a 3 month nursing contract in Wagga Wagga.... How many days would we need to allow to drive there with caravan? anyone know of a decent caravan park in Wagga that we could stay in for 3 months? any good free camping on the way there? Thanks everyone :)

After a very rushed departure we are on our way. Day 5 into our journey our travelling companions have run into overheating trouble in their 18 mnth old patrol, its at the repair shop in port Augusta. We are enjoying spencer gulf and meeting other travellers in the caravan park. We free camped at Nyah...

Looks like I will be a full time nomad by the end of the year or a bit after that. Son has informed me he is moving to Hervey Bay with his lady friend in the next few months, will rent out the Biggenden house until the market picks up then will sell. So I have to get my A into G and get all these other bits done on My...

Has any one had any experience with these? Supposed to be australian compliant, pick up from wharf, ready to rego.Nephew is looking for a family van and likes the look and price of these. (Sorry don't know how to post a link so I guess google them). They look good. The one he is looking at, has a power conve...

Hi all, In this chilly weather I was contemplating how to make a warming roast when I don't have an oven in the MH - so I though I could take my cast iron dutch oven that takes about 3-4 litres, put a wire trivet in the bottom and then place the meat & veg on that and cook it on the stove top on a low heat. Ditt...

For anyone who has been frustrated with the slow deliveries from DX in the past, they have now opened AUD.DX.COM, and are claiming 3 to 5 business day delivery. Worth a try.

I know this has been mentioned before but thought I might update it. Great find this one for sure. Stayed one night a couple of nights ago. Beside the public pool and a nice little creek, flushing toots and free hot showers and drinking water but you need a tap key, nice place, 5 mins walk into town. Good Te...
