I blame it all on Mr Mcdowell. He was our history teacher when I was just a 10 yr. old, in fourth class. The detail he went into about Australia, and it's many explorers fasinated me. John McDowell Stuart, Capt. James Cook, Blaxland Wentworth and Lawson, John Sturt, Burke and Wills, etc, etc, etc. Even...

We a currently travelling, beit slowly towards the Cairns area and are just south of Brisbane at the moment. We are probably going to be in the Cairns part of Qld for about 3 months. If you are going to be up here at about that time let us know, love to catch up. -- Edited by briche on Monday 9th of April 2012 02...

Burdekin Tyre Service, on the Bruce Highway just south of Ayr - good service, good pricing on tyres for the motorhome. Also do mechanicals I see.

I know that's a lot of highway to ask about, but wondering if there are huge mountains to climb along the way? We plan on carrying up to Woolongong.

No doubt, a lot of GN's have vehicles with duel wheels on the rear. If you are going to get a flat at the back, you can bet it's an inside one. I have seen a number of cases where folks who were just getting started on the road, puzzled about how to know if the "insider" had sufficient air in it. Othe...

Just had the bushes replaced on the Jayco 24 ft, why you ask? Preventitive maintainence says I. I got a quote from my local dealer, 10-12 hours @ $77 per hour plus parts Last year whilst in Walkamin FNQ a young gent fitted my own wheel bearings for me, complete with seals etc for $90. Today he came to us in C...

On my landcruiser I have split rims. When I recently put new tyres on I was advised that if I was caravanning that I would be better to change to solid rims. The advice was that it wood give me a lot better ride. As I am not mechanically minded I thought that maybe some fellow Grey Nomads may be able to shine s...

If you are in the far north, and planning to travel down the west coast, there is a lot to see in the south west. However, the point I am making is, that many travellers get the impression that the Nullabour plain is a long and boring drive. No way. The tourist office in Norseman stock a wonderful book calle...

The next on my list of 'ask the GN's' is for the Ballarat region. This is for our trip in Oct/Nov.... As far as I can see in Camps 6, there's no camps near to Ballarat, unless someone out there knows of one not listed... So, I'd appreciate opinions on these CP's please. Shady Acres CP, Big 4 Goldfields, Bi...

What a great group and how happy am I, should have done it years ago!!!!! Hope to meet a lot more of you on the road, Travel-Lyn ...

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...
