Go the Pies

Stayed at this park for 3 days of the past weekend. Even though we had read bad reports on other forums a lack of choice in Longreach left us no other options. Got to say it was THE best decision we've made to date. It has recently changed to a Top Tourist park and has new owners who have taken over in the last 2...

I have to congratulate all nomads, no matter what they drive, for using their radios, their mirrors and their senses. I'm escorting a wide load, only 4.3 metres, but wide none the less. We started at Broken Hill last Sunday, negotiating several road blocks and detours with a wide load. We travelled o...

I find it interesting... this afternoon I checked to see who was online. There were 7 'members' on line (most of whom I had never heard of) - and tonight as I look, none of them contributed. So I was pleased to see who was online tonight...the ones who 'talk'. It's made my day.

I would like to get peoples opinon on mirrors, we pick up our new Mits Triton diesel, 4x4 on the 14 July and have been out shopping for mirrors. I am interested in the heavy duty ones that strap on to the bottom of the door and tension. I went to Carac in dandenong, Melb - good people - but was informed that the...

Confessions of a hooker A couple were lying in bed together on the morning of their tenth wedding anniversarywhen the wife says, 'Darling, as this is such a special occasion, I think that it is time I made a confession: Before we were married I was a hooker for eight years.' The husband ponders for a...

Had a feeling that Dougwe or Dazren would have commented on a wombat who booby trapped his home so he could be visited by a large horse. Was that our Wombat?

Can anyone remember the name of a motorhome repairer in Bundaberg who highly recommended on this forum by quite a few nomads a while ago. I have been through Recommendations and Techies Corner to no avail. I have tried the search button to no avail. I'm thinking these words weren't put in the heading. Q...

Our car indicators work when connected to the caravan but as soon as the car starts, the indicators stop working. We've even tried a new plug. Can anyone possibly help? Our car is a 2010 XTrail and the van is a Jayco Freedom.

Sis, bil and I are heading to Vic in Oct and have a list of places we want to see, and rellies to catch up with. Two cousins we particularly want to see, one is in Ferntree Gully, and another in a care facility at Pakenham. We also want to see the Yarra Valley and Dandenong areas. We know nothing about thes...

Well, it seems to me that this travelling is responsible for most of us feeling pretty healthy, if this Health and Wellbeing section is correct. Not one posting since 1st June 2012 - must be an alltime record!! Lets hope we all stay healthy and well for as long as possible. Take care.

Hi All, My first post to this very informative forum. We are considering coming south on the above road via Ravenshoe, The Oasis Roadhouse and down to Charters Towers in the next couple of months. Has anybody travelled this road in recent times. Have heard through 2nd & 3rd hand sources that there...

Cat Lover or Not, this is Hysterical !!! We've all had trouble with our animals, but I don't think anyone can top this one: Calling in sick to work makes me uncomfortable. No matter how legitimat...

to John A man in London walked into the produce section of his local Tesco supermarket and asked to buy half a head of cabbage. The boy working in that department told him that they only sold whole heads of cabbage. The man was insistent that the boy ask the manager about the matter. Walki...

Hi guys, it's great to still read about your adventures and I do miss being on the road. Business is going well though and Deb and I are looking at buying another motorhome next year and heading off. Good to see my old mate Billeeeee still creating havoc out there and enjoying life as only he can :) If any...

Gladys failed a Health and Safety course at the Local Senior Centre today. One of the questions was: "In the event of a fire, what steps would you take?" "F*&^ing' big ones," was apparently, not the right answer.

Annie, 6 years old, gets home from school. She had just had her first family planning lesson at school. Her mother, very interested, asks;" How did it go?" "I died of shame!" She answers! Why? Her Mother asked. Annie said, Koos from down the road, says that the stork brings babie...

Last month a world-wide phone survey was conducted by the UN.The only question asked was:-"Would you please give your honest opinion about solutions to the food shortage in the rest of the world?"The survey was a huge failure because of the following:1. In Eastern Europe they didn't kno...

Love this one especially.

Many words have similar or even the same, meaning. For example Vision, Vista, View and Sight are all words that are pretty much interchangable and will be found in a Thesaurus when looking for word options. But are they really. One might comment to one's wife that she is "...a Vision...&quo...
