Well the van is emptied and cleaned to an inch of its life. Now sitting on the front nature strip with' For Sale' signs all over it. Ads are on the internet. In the local shops and the first wave of scammers have been cleared out. We have put a deposit on the new van hopefully to be built late June. Hopefully...

Great article about the Mereenie Loop: It is called Larapinta Drive in "The Australian Touring Atlas". I am about to head down that way and wonder if anyone can tell me about its suitability for a 2WD Toyota HiAce? I've heard it can be done but would rather not risk it if I could get bogged...

As I was lying in bed pondering the problems of the world, I rapidly realized that I don't really give a rat's ass. 1. If walking/cycling is good for your health, the postman would be immortal. 2. A whale swims all day, only eats fish, drinks water, and is fat. 3. A rabbit runs and hops and only lives 15 year...

In the last few days I have done a 'stocktake' of what I have in the caravan cupboards. Like most others, I leave the basics in the van from trip to trip but decided it was time to check the labels, the back corners etc. I renewed the spices, tossed out the old ones, changed some plates, cleaned out the cutle...

I just want to share a little story with my nomad friends. For several years in Dad's later life, I took him to Anzac Day at Greenbank RSL. One year, his Army mate Jack...who later married Dad's sister... had moved to Qld, so he came too. After the service etc, sitting inside, they met a few youngish bloke...

We attended the Anzac day service at Maryborough, Qld. It was a wonderful service and what was a real plus was to see so many young people involved or supporting. I think the comments floating around about Anzac day generally have been given a resounding thumbs up. Lest we Forget.

I am delighted to be able to report that I arrived home safely at 9:20 this evening, along with my ute and new slide on camper. I reckon it has grown since I previously looked at it! And I backed the ute up under the camper myself (but with the vendor and his son guiding me of course). I will post photo/s tomor...
