Well, where to start? We are a family of 6, that's 4 furry girls plus Jen and I. We have a 1992 Poverty Pack diesel Land Cruiser and a new Sterling 21' van. We have at this stage only done a couple of short trips with this van (we are on our sixth van in 25 years) as we are actively involved with the Ulysses Club...

Does it ever stop raining along the East Coast of OZ Everytime I look at the weather map..I think to myself "Them poor buggars must be getting sick and tired of it..........

Had my first encounter with a Hybrid Car yesterday, in the supermarket Car-park. I've even been wishing I could afford one. Not any more. While they may be Enironmentally friendly, I think they're also dangerous. I stepped out from beside my Campervan, and hearing nothing, almost walked in fro...

Hi all, Just to let you know that I have deleted this thread. Unfortunately, the thread deteriorated. As you all know, we pride ourselves on having a friendly, welcoming and positive forum. Banter is welcome but bickering and unpleasantness is not.

Has anyone any further updates on the floods through the centre of NSW? Any idea of which roads are closed now and did the heavy rain today cause any more damage? Lorraine (JazzinAround) is camped just west of Forbes resting up after getting a chest infection. She has to get over to the coast then up to Ca...

Had a couple of meltdowns this week. Quite scary like panic attacks. Felt I couldnt hardly breathe, no not a heart attack, just sheer upset, and bawling again. Went to the doctor, she said I wasnt going mad, . At a bit of an upset where I volunteer, to cut a long story short, another woman who has sin...

Having purchased my new bike and trailer, I took a 160 k ride to add a few k's so that might get the bike its 1000 k service before I le...

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 & may be...

A man walks into a redneck bar in Alabama and orders a white wine spritzer. The bar goes silent as everyone stares at him..."Where are you from? You solike a Limey", "I'm from across the Severn," replies the man nervously. "What do you do, just across the Severn?" &q...

I'm a solo everything, not just a nomad. I've been that way for a long time. I recently met someone who gushed to impress me. I accepted his friendship, but when I didn't change to impress him he bolted, yet I'm still the same person he met. I know he's now not worth worrying about, but what's with that? W...
