Keith is now out of hospital after passing the stone. Nurse said it is quite a big one but to look at it you would wonder how could something so small cause so much grief. He still has to have an ultra sound (to see if there are any more stones lurking in kidney & to check how much damage this one did). S...

After his exam the doctor said to the elderly man: "You appear to be in good health. Do you have any medical concerns you would like to ask me about?" "In fact, I do," said the old man. "After I have sex, I am usually cold and chilly; and then after I have sex with her the second ti...

Hi all, we are just starting to seriously consider updating the van to one with shower and toilet. We have looked at quite a few in QLD and NSW. We have seen a few Majestic caravans and the price, layout and weight etc is exactly what we want. However, we are currently parked next to one, and as you do, I a...

I was checking out the Qld transport site re:- Towing with an A frame. There was an earlier post re Truck stops and Grey Nomads. I don't want to start a controversy but the law is quite clear.If you are towing with an A frame you are obliged to use truck parking bays when out of town. I normally use the parki...

I have a friend who just booked into there. He advised that this stay one night and get the next one free ends at the end of the month.

Only a small park but have fitted a lot in here tonight. Not listed in any book. Not advertised along the way. $25/night powered. Clean toilets and showers.

We have never booked a site until this year we have found the caravan park we make our base at by chance we rang them just to make sure we could have the site we had last year, it was a good job we did as its been full ,and had to go into the over flow until a power site became available.IT seems Tumling waters is g...

Watched Q&A last night with Julia Gillard. During the programme a lady came on to have a bitch about there not being enough handed out to her and other "middleclass" Australians. When asked about her definition of middleclass and what her and her husband earned, it b3ecame obvious th...

We were all set to move off from here (Atherton NQ) this morning but instead at 5am I had to rush my chauffeur to the hospital. He was in agony. Diagnosis is a kidney stone. He's staying there over night. See what tomorrow brings.

Some years ago, the problem of wanting to go along some of the well known, and not so well known, off road tracks, (eg.) firm sandy beaches etc, was solved for me by a firm in Jolimont, WA. Our RV at the time was a Mazda "pop top" with a four cylinder diesel donk. My partner really wanted to travel...

Has anyone come accross this type of suspension? I have tried to post a pic to show details. It appears to have only one set of springs each side. This is on a van I have an interest in, and the rest of the van appears to be what we are looking for. I have only seen pics, not the van itself, as the manufactures ar...

Loving white towels, I naturally took them away with us to the RED centre. Big mistake, no matter how well we washed they appeared grubby and particularly after using some caravan park machines. I will now be buying rust coloured towels for future trips, but one good thing has come out of our trip, is...

We are heading home to Brisbane soon to meet our new grandson and looks like we will need to store our van for a couple of weeks. Does anyone have anywhere they would recommend in the Brisbane area (preferably in the northern suburbs but not detrimental). Cheers MadenAus

The old, blind and brave cowboy An old, blind cowboy wanders into an all-girl biker bar by mistake. He finds his way to a barstool and orders a shot of Jack Daniels. After sitting there for a while, he yells to the bartender, Hey, you wanna hear a blonde joke? The bar immediately falls absolutely silent....
