Just had a phone call from my son, the truck driver. He hasn't been home for two weeks, this was his weekend off. On his last run for the fortnight from Melbourne to Wagga. You guessed it. He's half way between Holbrook and Tarcutta and that looks like where he will stay till the floods go down. No food, No d...

Just notice the forum had a visit from someone in the Russian Federation and we have some regular visits from viewers in the USA, among others from time to time. It would be great to see a post from you from time to time, whether you have an RV or not, we can compare notes on the RV lifestyle and modes of RV tr...

Gday... We will be in Dubbo on Monday. Looking for a 'good' van park - one that suits 'grey nomads' insomuch that no bells and whistles, just clean and quiet. Any other suggestions? Cheers Julie & John

G'day everyone, been awhile but finally found sometime to make a quick post of our tassie trip. What a revelation Tasmania has been despite the poor weather. The scenery is stunning, from coast to coast and inland, excellent roads and signage and of course camps 5! We have found no shortage of free cam...

We are planning to travel around Oz next year. Having to spend significant $$ on a rig, we are interested in paying for our living expenses by doing casual work as we travel, so we don't eat into out savings un-neccessarily. What scams. pitfalls etc. should we look out for. Any help would be appreciated...

We never know what's around the corner, hubby and I bought a van a couple of months ago, with plans of doing big trip at the end of financial year 2011. We would be looking for work along the way as we have no big super to rely on and are not yet near pension age, both were still working to get finances in order f...

Can anyone tell me why some of my Toolbars sometimes are Blacked out ? It's happened again today. Cheers, Sheba.

If any one is a fan of Allan Jackson he is appearing in Brisbane 10th & 11th March ,2011, hoping to be there.

A soon to be nomad friend of ours has just bought a Springvale Seaview Caravan and has also purchased a 2008 Ford Territory Ghia. I am assuming it's automatic transmission. I have a feeling that the towing capacity of the Territory won't be up to the weight of the van. I think from memory they said the van...

As you will all know we have had a lot of rain here in South East QLD. Well the garage got a little water in it and there was a pile of stuff from out last trip not put away yet and there on the bottom or the lot and the only thing subject to water damage was our camps 4. Lit the fire and got it dry but its awfully cr...

What a whinger! but honestly. I've just returned from a 15000kms trip around WA in my Hiace. I'm pretty disgusted with the cost of both powered and non-powered sites in caravan parks - especially in WA. In 99% of cases I was charged exactly the same as 2 people in a large caravan being towed by a large vehi...
