Probably need to have seen some time in the Green Machine to fully appreciate the above. So true it hurts!!!

This was a great drive mostly down the coast, for anyone who knows it was very much like the Great Ocean Road south of Geelong in Victoria. We were looking for somewhere to camp but everywhere was fully booked, eventually found a beach side almost looked like a car park with toilets but no shower or powe...

Hi all Well we took Herbies advice and when we arrived in Alice springs we went to the Transport Hall of Fame and offered to do volunteer work. We have been here for two weeks now and are enjoying it. There are several other couples here also so it makes for a good happy hour each day. The work is not difficu...

Hi there everyone, thought l would introduce ourselves to you all. My wife Leanne and l have recently purchased a Bluesky 21ft Fairhaven van. We are probably alittle younger than alot of Nomads, but our life experience makes up for our lack of years. Recently we undertook our shakedown journey in our...

Yes, I'm thinking of changing again. I'm just looking at this stage, but I've been looking around for alternatives to my current rig so I'm not towing. Keeping in mind that I'll never be a fulltime nomad, so the vehicle would be driven in my local city areas quite a bit. The only appeal of a slide-on i...

I thought I had put this on somewhere before, but can't find it even on "my posts" on users, so here tis again, I believe this mob are no longer in business;

Hi all Does anyone know please of a Caravan Park in Victoria where you can leave a MH onsite for a few months?

THE BLONDE AND THE LORD A blonde wanted to go ice fishing. She'd read many books on the subject, and finally getting all the necessary tools together, she made for the ice. After positioning her comfy footstool, she started to make a circular cut in the ice. Suddenly, from the sky, a voice boomed, &qu...

Gday... I had read the reviews/previews of the Lone Ranger movie, starring Johnny Depp, and was surprised and a bit disappointed that it was considered a hopeless movie and not worth seeing. Despite that, a friend went and saw it on the weekend and told me it was very good. So last night I went to the thea...

Hi Everyone, you have been so helpful for me lately I have another one for you! Going to Loxton to see my brother. Don't want to go through Sydney. May go through Dubbo instead. Any suggestions? I have 3-4 weeks to do the return journey. I've never driven this route. Thanking you in advance, Cheers Juli...

We leave Brisbane this weekend to travel along the Darling. We are thinking of having a few days in Lighting Ridge. Is it worth the stop. I am betting that it will be " Bloody Cold" out on the outback plains. 8 degrees this morning in Brisbane. That will like summer compared to Lighting Ridge...

We left Cedar City and crossed into Nevada then into California towards Yosemite National park. This stop was Lee Vining. Passed an amazing lake called Mono Lake. RV Park only took cash but nice and clean and a dump point. Plenty of people and families and some were up for as chat. http://www.monolake...

This visit nearly did not happen as we missed the bus so found another way to get tickets which involved leaving the RV park at Petaluma about 1.5hrs nth of San Francisco at 4.30am and getting in a queue by 6am for tickets. We did this with the vans as we were heading for Los Angeles that day. Got on the fir...

Hi have just arrived at Saunders Beach and intend to stay here until next Thursday when I will go to Bluewater Park, Toomulla, Balgal then Rollingstone over the next 3 weeks. Would like to catch up with any G N in that vicinity over the time frame. John

This extreme adventure damn near killed me. It was 50c plus and we had to fly, then helicopter then walk down to a boat, then had to walk back up the primitive track almost on all fours was horrendous. Hoover Dam a couple of days later was just 50c but much easier to get a round. The week were in Vegas it was 4...

Hi all, our first time up the east coast of Qld. Been travelling in the big rig and having problems with free camps, due to the size of course. ideally we would just love to pull up for a week or so and do a bit of fishing on the beach/weir/dam. Open to suggestions from grey nomads that have done it personally...
