Gday... Now at Normanton in the very hot, dry, windy weather. Have been all around the town looking at the sights and being the perfect little tourist. Yesterday I drove out and spent the day at Karumba. I think the entire worlds population of Toyota Landcruisers or Nissan Patrols with camper trailer...

Anyone whose long haired dog gets a regular shave and haircut, knows the need for a dog jumper to warm them up especially on cold nights. If you use a jumper make sure you take it off regularly and check for ticks underneath on both jumper and dog. After many attempts I have found 2 easy patterns which othe...

Hello Everyone, I am in a quandry. I am trying to get to see the newsletter but every time all i get is "about blank". This happens on all headlines. What am i doing wrong? thanks.

We are permanent GNs and use internet A LOT. We live most of the time in locations were there is poor or no wireless internet, thus we had to have a mobile satellite internet provider. The only provider in Aus is (Australian Nomad Technologies) ANT and our initial plan with them WAS good 2Gb daytime and 1...

Not suggesting that anyone on this forum would do such a thing, but has anyone noticed on other forums that these "Forum Snipers" never make a thread of their own, but seem to get their jollies out of tearing someone else's thread to pieces. Some are trolls who just go from forum to forum caus...

A few old couples used to get together to talk about life and to have a good time. One day one of the men, Harry, started talking about this fantastic restaurant he went to the other night with his wife. Really?, one of the men said, whats it called? After thinking for a few seconds the Harry said, what are t...

I just put a bid in for 10 nights in a CV park at Batemans Bay. If I am lucky I thought I might duck across after my stay at Tocumwall shortly, then do a day trip to Kiama and another to Canberra, two places I have been trying to get to for some time. It has been many moons since I was in those areas.

Gday all, I am new to this site and preparing to get into the grey nomad roll, as soon as we finish our overseas trip to USA tomorrow we plan to be on the road in Aus within 18 months. Regarding saging rear ends particulary with coils, here is a little trick my father who is now 85, used on his Ford Maverick (ni...

What do other small van owners use to solve their power problems. We have 15 foot poptop- and so space is a bit of a premium. Are considering getting some solar panels, but would a generator be the go? Has to be one or the other as there's no space for both. The only thing we would be powering would be microwa...

Got into Longreach this afternoon. It's got a nice feel to it and we dropped into catch up with Spida at the Stockmans hall of fame. Had a lovely talk and time with her, she is one nice lady. We are at the Longreach waterhole with about 30 other travelers. It's a bit dry and dusty but, what the heck it will do f...

Going to pick up our new home next Thursday, very excited, hubby has seen it, but I haven't yet. The lovely owners are driving it from NSW to Ceduna, so we only have to drive from Kalgoorlie to pick it up.

We would like to start looking a round for something a bit larger than our Jayco Starcraft. Something with a shower /toilet and a single double bed. The prices seem to have really gone through the roof since our last purchase. Any good advice will be great.
