We have spent 2 days knocking over our coffee cups and mugs every which way we can, and still cant duplicate the spill. Will keep trying.

I've been following this forum for quite some time now and thought it was about time I became a member, so, greetings fellow Nomads. We're a retired couple, living on the south coast of N.S.W., and we get away as often as we can, frequently camping relatively close to home as there are lots of great campi...

Looking for help....we are travelling from Broome to Adelaide in September and wondered if anyone could recommend good campsites, free or paid! Also anything we should not miss on our travels? Was going to stop at Halls Creek but have been warned off there! Any help would be greatly appreciated. J...

What a fantastic spot. Found it by accident at the end of a long day. Plenty of areas to get away by yourself or can be close to others if wanted. Toilets could do with a bit of work but generally clean. Quiet at night even though there was a lot of campers there for the water skiing that was on there for the...

Geeee, we need a lend of the Ark here in down town Sth West Gippsland Vic. Don't need a motor as the Gale force winds will push us along. If this keeps up I might have to put floaties on the Avan when I head out into the playground in a day or two. -- Edited by Dougwe on Thursday 21st of March 2013 05:42:56 PM

Hello to all lucky enough to own a Nissan Patrol. I have a 2006 ST-L 4.8 Litre Petrol Automatic, and am wanting to fit an auxiliary battery underneath the bonnet, to power things like fridge, phones, CB etc. Has anyone done this modification, and if so, where abouts did you position the battery. OR did y...

G'day Well it is on again and personnaly I think Julia Gillard is the right person to lead this country. Rudd is just a show pony. If you had listened to Julia speech re the forced adoption it was very moving, then to go to question time and had to sit down and listen Mr Negativity rant on with no vision for th...

This is a handy item for anyone with Artheritstius it will whip your nuts off in a flash,I use it for removing wheel nuts 4wd or van but not for replacing , I use a Warren and Brown Tension wrench to tighten.

It seems that most GN's are fairly tech savvy so I thought I might share a couple of things. Apologies in advance if you already know this. I find reading a problem with my poor eyesight so have augmented things with audio - thankfully the ears are still working ok. 1) Spoken books https://catalog....

Hi travellers, As we are about to blast off on our first extended journey we thought it prudent to have a bed made up permanently in the back of the Sprinter (Whizz Bang) rather than the assortment of foam seats and cushions that we up to date have arranged for our sleeping comfort (?). We contacted the H...

I read on a post here, that someone at a tourist bureau had told the person that the Ridge was rough or something meaning the same phase.I bet who ever said that has never been there. It is one of the most friendly places in oz.Lightning Ridge possesses the ability to transport you. It takes you out of the h...

Not going by bus to Geelong now, my sister has booked a room at the airport and will meet me up there tomorrow afternoon. We fly out early Frida...

Front spring lift for the above vehicle was carried out by Vinaka Pty Ltd in Hobart Tas. $770.00 . Took 5 hours, catch the bus to town $3.75 day tripper ticket. Benefits: vehicle now sits flat, no bottoming out, better tyre wear, less under steer.= IMO safer vehicle Note that when cab chassis is bought...

Hello to fellow travellers. Just a short post to introduce ourselves. My husband and I have been campers for some time now, although we are now owners of a van, and we are planning on a short adventure after the Easter rush as we would like to try out free camping in our van. We have read many of your post...
