I am now officially retired and hopefully will be on the road within the next few months. Looking forward to meeting people who are just names on a page.

Last year we made a "Sea Change" and moved from Canberra to a lovely quiet little hide-away on the coast. Its a very busy busy little town indeed at present, every caravan park, cabin, motel, and possible tent site full to bursting, and the local businesses are making heaps of money. There...

We were going into Freycinet National Park but decided to go past and secure a good site for Xmas and the New Year. The locals seem to set up caravans in good locations at free beaches and leave them unattended until their holidays arrive. As it happens there are plenty of sites available but better safe...

I was sitting in my shed thinking the other day(,not always a good idea,) after reading some posts on here and other forums about selling up and hitting the road,,i was thinking is this life style really all that it's cracked up to be, and is it for everyone ? well i guess the answer to the second question w...

Be interesting to see how this pans out, it seems though that the Caravan Industry is still pushing for more cabins and bells and whistles than catering for grey nomads, although the increased dump points will be an advantage. The shortage of parks up north because of the mining boom etc needs urgen...

And it looks like by myself. I met Popeye today, sitting in the shade watching the boats, he's leaving tomorrow. I tried to wake Esperian but he was having his nana nap and couldn't be woken so will catch up with him tomorrow. Plenty here but no other GNs, still plenty of room for now. I'm parked in front o...
