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.

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...

(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...

At Home we sleep on a pocket coil mattress and we do not have any problems, I always thought foam would be too hot to sleep on, but I slept on a foam mattress in a resort in Bohol last week (tough life isn't it), and I found it surprisingly good for what I am sure was not a high end product. I have recognised othe...

Enjoyed a Gloria Jean experience today with a grey nomad I hadn't met before. Thank you Sharon (Shekon) for contacting me so we could meet. Was lovely chatting today and I am sure we will meet again when we are both out there doing our own thing. May even have a chance to travel in tagalong sometime.

A man and a woman were having a quiet, romantic dinner in a fine restaurant. They were gazing lovingly at each other and holding hands.
