I loved the post about what is the purpose of a gearbox, it's so wonderful how people's imagination works and how we all see things in different ways, especially being technically minded (sometimes technical bod's look too deep for an answer.......... SOL!! You'd agree with that eh??) SO, here's an...

Left Sheba (Gayle's) place this morning at 8am and drove the 180 odd kms to St lawrence arriving at about 11am. There is a good rest area just before St Lawrence with a driver reviver location and lots of parking, toilets, seats and tables. It is supported by the St Lawrence council, Waverley Creek Res...

HI I left a couple of things behind in Townsville for my friends to sell but have decided I was a bit short sighted and now want to keep them. My friends can get them to you in the T'Ville area if somebody will bring them up for me. It is just a canvas camping cupboard and a bbq plate cooking set. If you can help...

Have made it to Westmar today for my overnight stop. First stop was Wooroolin Wetlands. A cold nights minus 1.3. But had my hottie with me. Plenty of parking there, just north of Kingaroy. Last night at Kumbia where I was plugged Into power and had my little oil fin heater on all night. Warm as toast. J...

I have just bought another 3.7kg bottle of gas which lasts me about a week, Swap & Go. The fella at Bunnings said that for another $2 I could have bought 9kg - that's more than twice as much gas! The sticking point is my 2 little bottles sit in a fiberglass compartment under the lounge but above the flo...

I am sure this an essential item in every good well maintained Motorhome or caravan.

Why, Why, Why? Why do we press harder on a remote control when we know the batteries are almost dead?

This is something that we have been used to for eons now and it is ONLY DONE AS A COURTESY for us. So fellow GNs we will have to have a bunch of stickit notes all over the place to remi...

I just looked and noticed that the rabid nsw supporters are very Quiet this morning. Is it because they got flogged 26 to 6 last night at Lang park in Qld? And Krudd is back as PM, so QLD WINS on both fronts.Might be too early for certain people who need self medication before they post.Will be a great game i...

From today's Sydney Morning Herald: They live in a caravan more than a house, spend months at a time travelling around Australia and know more camping sites than most Australians have had cold beers on a summer's evening. But don't call John and Elaine Tickner grey nomads. They say they're part of a sp...

Went out to what is known as the only pub in QLD where you have to supply your own beer.What a nostalgic time warp this old pub is The Espanol Pub at Lappa Junction. The bl...
