"WHERE is my SUNDAY paper?!" The irate customer calling the newspaper office, loudly demanded to know where her Sunday edition was. "Madam", said the newspaper employee, "today is Saturday. The Sunday paper is not delivered until tomorrow, on SUNDAY". There w...

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...

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.

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...

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...
