Hope all our Grey Nomad friends are staying dry and safe with all the rain in SE Qld and NSW at the moment - seems to be getting more widespread. Friends went down the coast - may get stuck there - Pacific Motorway got water over the road in some spots. Take lots of care.

Square Testicles * * * * * * An elderly woman walked into the Royal Bank of Canada one morning with a purse full of money. She wanted to open a savings account and insisted on talking to the president of the Bank because, she said, she had a lot of money. After many lengthy discussions (after all, the clien...

I couldn't've given a second thought to a wombat. Now I cant get the damn things out of my mind. Every time I see a nice photo, I think of wombat, oops, I mean I think of A wombat, every time I see a hole in the ground, I wonder if its a wombat hole. Weird aye. Even one of my grandaughters has given me a photo of a wo...

In one of the earlier posts someone was mentioning difficulties in undoing wheel nuts because they were too tight. If you have a look in your maintenance handbook, it should give you the torque tension for your wheel nuts, i.e. Nissan Navara D40 - 83ft/lb. We deal with a Tyrepower dealer who torques m...

Well I arrived Monday morning in Tassie and travelled down to Doleraine where I am currently until tomorrow when I head to Launceston. So far I have found the people in this place to be so friendly and helpful. My motorhome water pump has decided to not work, so with no water pressure I have to travel to...

We are in Snug now for a week.; Not a bad van park, amenities are good although I might suggest bringing your own bath mat as the dry area soon becomes the wet area. No rain here, well not yet anyway. Someone told me that the take away in Snug made the best Thai food. Did I hear right, does anyone know. I think...

YOU KNOW YOU'RE AUSTRALIAN WHEN: You believe that stubbies can either be drunk or worn. You've made a bong out of your garden hose rather than use it for something illegal such as watering the garden. You understand that the phrase 'a group of women wearing black thongs' refers to footwear and may be le...

We are visiting Melbourne for a week or so early Feb. Can anybody suggest a van park, preferably in Southeast quarter close to the city and importantly next to a bus or rail link so we can leave our cubby house and use public transport to town? Although we're only 2.2 mtrs high I'm sure that and parking cos...
