Can anyone tell me if the Wyngard add-on, 'the wingman' is worth the money. Close to a city I get all the digital and analogue signals. In the bush I pick up weak analogue signals. To my mind, if there arn't any signals to be had- you ain't going to get them. ...and no I'm not going to invest in a satellite sys...

Finally got the new driveway. It's been a dream for years, and now its all done and paid for! New gates too. That'll let me get the van into the back/side yard, out of storage and off the roadway when its home. Nice! Nice wide gates, nice straight driveway, nice even slope.... nice. Only now I have to admit...

After leaving James Sharpe Park I took a scenic route back to the coast through Beechmont and the Numinbah Valley to Natural Bridge in the Springwood National Park. No camping is allowed but it is a beautiful place to spend some time, The rain dotted the lens for the last pic but had to add it because it sh...

There are only 5 major growers in Australia, mainly around the Byron Bay area. They are all having to let their fruit drop to the ground as their major buyer Tropico, hasn't bought from them this year. If the consumers don't buy it off the supermarket shelf in juice etc they won't be buying it next year e...

I'm thinking of heading down to Ballingup with the van in late August for the Medieval Carnival. Can anyone suggest a site as I'm sure the transit park in the town will be full. Camps 6 is not much help in this instance and the visitor's websites are worse than useless.

Hi Folks, Just letting you know I have returned after a break under the username "Duh" (pretty well suits me, don't you think....quiet Wombat!). This was mainly because I could see Wombat running rampant with very little control so thought I'd better come in and help out. Look forward to f...

After being off GN for some 16 months, and deciding to get back to travelling, I quite recently, mistakeingly wrote, "See you at Laidley" This little town is just east of Toowoomba (Qld.) and is the venue for the CMCA SOLOS group. Must be old age catching up with me. Of course, many of the GN SO...

I met a woman at the amenities this morning. She was waiting at the "ladies" door for her husband to bring the key. She was cursing the insecurity of the key system. I just told her we get used to it. She went on to warn of the possibility of the security risks and possibility of perve getting...

I am on my own for a few days and am camping at James Sharpe Park Camps6 #703 and wow the sun was shining today. This is a very pretty camp ground with two levels with the river running between, Camps6 will give the details but there are excellent ablution blocks with running water available. I have booke...

Lovely aint they? We had a ball with the snakes :)

As serious contenders for a new life experience wandering this great country, my Wife and I would appreciate your advice on the best choice of a 21-23 foot van with ensuite and tow vehicle for a semi off-road nomadic lifestyle. It may be a simplistic and perhaps a silly question but your feedback would...

EXERCISE FOR PEOPLE OVER 50Begin by standing on a comfortable surface, where you have plenty of room at each side. With a 1-kg potato bag in each hand, extend your arms straight out from your sides and hold them there as long as you can. Try to reach a full minute, and then relax. Each day you'll find that y...

We have just bought a caravan and it weighs 2.6t and is 22'. I still have to buy a vehicle to tow it with. I plan to retire in December and we want to travel around Australia. We aren't sure as to which way we will head to start with, just North if it's winter when we leave or South if it's summer. I have been look...

Hi, We are new to GN and finding our way. We would love to catch up with fellow travellers to share a red or 2. We are travelling in a 21ft6 Galaxy c/van with ensuite with a Mazda BT-50 dualcab up front. We also have a G/Shep pup (Basil 10mths old with us). We are at the Temple Bar c/van park until about 14...

Just repeat this mantra ..............

The phone rings, and the wife answers. A pervert with heavy breathing, says, "I bet you have a tightarse with no hair?" Womanreplies, "Yes, he's watching TV - whom shall I say is calling?"
