I took Felicia for my first real drive, down the highway to the Strawberry Farm at Pimpama, and met a few grey nomads. Very nice people. Had some good laughs.

Have to drag ourselves away from beautifuliful Bribie Island (Qld) tomorrow, off to Imbil showground (near Gympie) for a caravan rally next weekend and then a ramble around that part of sunny sunshine coast and hinterland

I felt like a celebrity today in the local shopping centre car park. A lady approached me looking at my wheel cover and asked me if I was THE Cruising Granny on The Grey Nomads Forum. After introductions we sat with a cuppa and chatted for the next 3 hours sharing stories of travel plans. I have a feeling ne...

But seriously, how hard is it to tell the freaking truth?! If I say 'does the van have any water damage/leaks/rust/damage to windows/hatches/doors?' I want to know if it has any of those things. If I ask, 'Is the floor solid?' I don't want to arrive to find what feels like a saggy trampoline masqueradi...

I have always used my wheel brace to remove wheel nuts and also to tighten them by pushing downwards on the wheel brace. That is the way I was taught and have never done it any other way. However I notice in my Hi Ace manual they have a picture and tell you to pull up on the wheel brace to loosen or tighten the n...

It's been said before, and I'm going to say it again, "Please USE your rear view mirrors, especially when towing caravans". I'll accept cameras as a rear view tool. That means, actually look into them to see what's around and behind you. I talk to many truck drivers and their biggest compla...

Thank you everyone who responded to my thread re- Kogan 12 volt tele's my friends were very impressed with your knowledgable information, and will be buying through Kogan based on the feedback, thank you Dazren.

Hi everyone.........from a jetlagged GN! I have to say that the key to staying well has been my flu and Pneumonia injections. How I didnt succumb to the bugs isnt just luck alone as I really believe the injections were the difference. Did I mention that I had a good time?() cheers, ozi2

We are sitting here waiting for dinner. $15 per night, free washing machines and dryers and are able to eat at BHP dining room for $12 smorgasborg. Things can't get much better than that.

I had no idea it was even there till Ken Thomas suggested I try them to have my gas bottle filled. So glad I did. $15.00 for a 4kg size, Can't remember the next size up but think it might have said $25.00 for a 9kg. The reason I am putting this in recommendations is, the chap was more than helpful. He came out to...

Hi i put this on another forum, it may make your travels more pleasant:) This time of year all the rednecks invade our favorite bush camp sites. They don't bury cover their waste and the weekend after hundreds of baby blowflies will be buzzing about. here's a good trick to get rid of them 1) put up a small...

Does anyone else remember Wicketty Wak? Flashback channel 7 tonight. Many times I almost wet myself laughing at their antics.

I feel this place should be looked at fellow members.....If true...Certainly would be a Paradise

Be careful if you're travelling in NQ. I heard that the bushfires are bad around Townsville. Stay safe!

Next week I am heading off for 4-5 days as a "shakedown", and really looking forward to it. I will be heading not to far from home, probably around Skipton, Lismore, Lake Bolac are so if anyone is up that way next week let me know. Im heading to Tassie in late Nov/Dec for a few weeks too, if anyon...

Just finished watching ACA and there was a follow-up on the story last week about the couple who could not get their tennants out of their home when they came back from their trip. Apparently after ACA got involved, within 4 days the tennants were packing up and moving out - final inspection tomorrow. A...

Prime Minister, Julia Gillard" Teller: "Yes, I know who you are, but with all the regulations, I insist on seeing ID." Gillard: "Just ask anyone here who I am and they will tell you. They all know who I am." Teller: "I am sorry, but these are the bank rules and...
