we are thinking of going in to Mt Palmer (south of Southern Cross) on the way past and are wandering if we should tow our van in or not. It is a 16' pop top but would rather leave it than damage it. Has anyone been in to the Mt. lately?

Well we're back in Townsville where our roaming all started 4 years ago, nice and warm and how this place has changed in the time we've been gone, ring roads you can go from lavarack across the Ross river and up the upper ross without all the dramas we used to have. Bluewater van park is great $140 per wee...

I'd previously been given a very old 2 way fridge, which I gave to my daughter and son-in-law as it seemed more trouble and expense than it was worth, getting it connected to my little 'Lucy'. So my son is planning to convert Gypsy t...

A while back I asked on the forum where I may find a large kettle. Some kind soul suggested an Indian Emporium. Attached is what we finished up with for $49 - the kettle holds approx 17 litres and takes about half a hour to boil. Money well spent I thought. The stubbie is only there for comparison.. l...

He said if its for a horse..NO. I told him, we would discuss the matter later as he was in no frame of mind to talk to then.... The Outcom...

In today's Cairns Post there was quite a reader frenzy re Grey Nomads. Apart from the usual redneck suspects, most people agreed that Cairns' van parks have got it wrong. I agree, and I am a Cairns' resident (until we buy our rig). Try this link and leave your comments...www.cairns.com.au/Nomads 'ki...
