Certificate or not sh...

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...

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.

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...
