How To Give A Cat A Pill 1. Pick up cat and cradle it in the crook of your left arm as if holding a baby. Position right forefinger and thumb on either side of cat's mouth and gently apply pressure to cheeks while holding pill in right hand. As cat opens mouth, pop pill into mouth. Allow cat to close mouth and s...

Not one nomad has commented on Cindy news in the Grey Nomad Times. Did anyone read there is a Classified section coming, how its going to work and what you have to do if you have something to sell. Very surprised its not on everyones mind seeing so many wanted it.

This is my rig before I have renewed the drawbar and axle and wheels & new electric brakes. A bit of an overkill but want to get into out of the way places and free camp. Safer and ease of mind the better. Going to Brissie for 2 weeks for my sons wedding then hame and should be on the road before Xmas.

It's been a full on couple of weeks, and I'm thankful for the moment that we can catch our breathes. 'The Beast' is going well, and has clocked up plenty of K's of late running backwards and forwards to the home to see my mother. Plenty of hot water with a new solar hot water system. And Mum ........ well, it...

Gypsy Rover was passing through Lakes Entrance on her way to The Great Ocean Road for her next Winne Safari. She ended up on the site next to mine so we had a nice BBQ for dinner on my new Webber Baby Q. I have met Chris a few times now and it is always great to catch up. Thanks Chris, have a great trip and keep saf...

Arrived at Terramungamine Reserve around mid day after driving 210kms from Mullaley via Coonabarabran and Gilgandra, lovely undulating grassy country away from the Great Dividing Range with warmer temperatures. I am expecting to meet Frank from http://frankeeg.wordpress.com/ Frank & D...

Hmm..... earlier today I signed into our Hotmail a/c - no worries, but this afternoon I found that Microsoft would not let me in, even though I signed in as before, but now they want more personal info, saying that a password is not enough if they need to get in touch with us!!!! Has anyone else come across...

Can anyone recommend a nice caravan park in the Newcastle area, I am an old newcastle boy but unfortunately I left the area in 1969 and joined the Navy, doesn't have to be to close to Newcastle. We are currently in Lightning Ridge and intend on free camping through Merriwa and Cessnock but the wife said...

The largest new and used car dealership in WA is closing its RV yard and returning to its core business. Apparently this is because of the general downturn in the economy in that business and it is no longer profitable. I doubt they will ever return to selling RV's again.

A night was spent at Burning Mountain (Camps6 #187) and from there the intention was to go to Moonan Flat (Camps6 #189) but I couldn't find the caretaker to pay my fees or, more importantly, obtain a key for the shower - I really did need one at this stage! NB Apparently they only charge $8.50/night for a...

Gday... I have pinched this photo from the LandRover Owner's Forum - it was apparently seen in Perth WA. It would appear all they now need is a boat and a motorbike. Cheers - John

Not that long ago someone posted a picture of an alternative to the expensive Cobb cooker. I thought I'd give it a try. While away with some friends last week I cooked 8 whole potatoes wrapped in foil on the hot coals, turned them regularly, and they were great. Have tried other things - yet to refine my ti...

This is our rig.

Can someone tell us if there is an official start date for the greens lake get together, so people can plan their journey.

I've never seen a dump point as good as this one. It was a little brick building with the lidded dump inside, very discreet, and undercover. It was as clean as a dump point could be, and even had a sink if one needed it.

About 120 km south of Broken Hill are the beautiful Menindee Lakes. We have just free camped there for five days. Great spot with great scenery, amazing birdlife and sunsets like this. More photos and blog at this site. [url] http://blog.travelpod.com/travel-blog/kingstravel/11/tpod.html

Soon we are heading off from Batemans Bay to Eden. We are thinking of taking the coast road (not Princes Hwy), turning off the highway after Tilba and going through Bermagui, Tathra, Merimbula & Pambula to Eden. With the caravan at 2.6t & 28 foot long (overall), is this route suitable? Other p...
