Hi all, in a nut shell, I left my home town in wollongong three weeks ago, heading north, driving my Nissan X Trail and towing my second hand but much loved Jayco discovery van. Ive been to some amazing and beautiful places. What I'm finding so far (and maybe it's me) but all the couple grey nomads tend to s...

Back home after 9 days at beef week at Rockhampton Qld. People camped every where in the camp. All very nice and friendly. Well set up for so many campers and equipment. My brother exhibited 5 of his Charolais cattle and ended up with a first and two third placings. So many caravaners on the roads headin...

If any gn"s are passing through Coolgardie i suggest you stay at the Coolgardie tourist park which is the one opposite the caltex servo. this is not a reccomendation as such, just the better option. the other c/park called the haven is a run down ramshackle place with quite a few permanents.

Hi All I'm heading East at the end of May and as there are several WA nomads that I'd love to meet before going I was wondering if you would be interested in a meet up. There are 2 options. First I'm getting together with a few friends on the weekend of the 25th-27th at Willow Brook Caravan Park at Gin Gin so an...

to all GN mothers

"The Meanest Mother" I had the meanest mother in the whole world. While other kids ate candy for breakfast, I had to have cereal, eggs or toast. When others had cokes and candy for lunch, I had to eat a sandwich. As you can guess, my supper was different than the other kids' also. Bu...

This is our second night here at the local caravan park, we are fair stuffed, big trip from logan, brisbane, will be in perth by tuesday. Does any nomad live between here and perth. Just wondering.

Even with the plethora of threads on forums about weights etc there still appears to be widespread confusion amongst vanners as to correct weights and weight terminology. So I thought I'd run a short Poll to see how far the forum has come in educating the members. Please just answer the questions True...

Question to admin. How does one set up a Voting Pole? OJ

How much stuff can you pack into a 17' caravan and 4x4? We have started to pack for our trip north, we catch the ferry on Tuesday evening. With the amount of gear being carried outside, I am of the opinion that it would be easier to put wheels on the unit. We have to carry winter stuff for the south, summer stu...

thanks to all who gave me advice on how to load an entry into photo comp. Much apreciated. I managed to load one but 2nd one I think I will have to work on to reduce first

Just as well my husband agreed to having no set itinerary this trip. It hurt him but it was obviously meant to be. We added a few days in a small town where we used to live (visiting friends and going to the Show) but now we are adding at least 6 nights in Nyngan where we weren't going to stop! We were headed for...
