Well here is one for those of you out there that have your spot lights fitted to the top of your vehicle... A couple of weeks ago I was pulled over by a motorcycle cop on the freeway into Adelaide, the sole purpose was to give me a ticket for the spotlights I had fitted to the roof baskets on my truck. This tick...

It was April and the Aboriginals in a remote part of Northern Australia asked their new elder if the coming winter was going to be cold or mild. Since he was an elder in a modern community he had never been taught the old secrets from his elders when he was a boy. When he looked at the sky he couldn't tell what...

well after a few days in hospital last week wired to a macine that goes "ping" and then a week at home it's back to the grind again this week, and to top it off a 05.30am start to boot, makes one wonder why the hell one does it sometimes,, would dearly love to give away full time work in place of cas...

hi guys was post little while ago about buying melamine crockey.. your can get it all at B.C.F. if u need it

I'm only new on the forum, so be gentle with me. We have been on the road now since Dec 09. One of my main gripes is the cost of gas bottles. Here we are in Margaret River(or as the locals call it Markup River, sorry) and needed to refill one of our 9kg bottles. I am not a fan of the swap system, as I know the con...

Anyone want a couple of Grey Nomads to mind their house/pets over the Christmas period in Brisbane?? We've got family there but they'll have a full house - we are flexible over dates, but a couple of weeks would be good. Cheers The happy wanderers

Tomorrow night ( Friday) there is going to be a story about Grey Nomads tripping around the country in their motorhomes. Just saw it advertised. This is in Vic. Not sure if all states get the same stories.

i dunno, maybe im just kidding myself, being on a pension and wanting my own campervan and to travel, every thing ilooked at so far has been too expensive or too many ks or too old i feel like giving up, life isnt what it was for me... just no good. i feel like crap latley... i feel like im waisting every ones...

Gday... Seems very few like surveys ..... praps 580 views of the survey ... but only 71 voted .... and NSW and QLD pretty close winners ... Vic behind ... rest too few... Not sure it was all worth it probably ... Cheers - back to happy travelling Cheers Julie & John

maybe something on a bit of a lighter note this week...........once upon a time there was a little bird that waited to long to fly north for the winter,, when he did finally start to fly he flew through a snow storm and soon became frozen and dropped to the ground in a cattle yard,, where upon a cow passing...

ok so i may have asked this question once before but just what makes a grey nomad ?? this is something that i've been pondering on a lot of late ? to qualify for the title of grey nomad do you have to be "homeless" and by that i mean do you have to sell up everything and hit the road or can you have a &qu...

I got one of these from Aldi yesterday for, (i think) $22, I now have three of them, as we travel with 2, 9kg and one 4.5kg gas bottles the 4.5 being a standby. Personally, I think they are worth the money especially as when the guage gets into the red I know that I have one more days worth of gas on the van frid...

The 6th grade science teacher, Mrs. Parks, asked her class, 'Which human body part increases to ten times its size when stimulated?' No one answered until little Mary stood up and said, 'You should not be asking sixth graders a question like that! I'm going To tell my parents, and they will go and tell...
