Glad I found this site it has very interesting and diverse people with a great deal of knowledge and differing points of view . Just great I am concerned at the number of van/ camping parks on the Mid North Coast of NSW that have closed or in the process of closing to make way for highrise development of for...

I grew up having a roast every sunday and continue to do so today. Our van doesn't have an oven and I was a little concerned how I was going to keep the tradition going. Found this little beauty at Cash convertors for only $20, its a small 600W rotisorie, so far have cooked a small chook-35minutes and a smal...

I was just getting my daily fix of the nomads website and thought about back when i was a city dweller (many years ago) when going from one side of the city to get something on the other side was such a long way to go. How things change when you have spent time on the open road. Only 4 more weeks and we are off to t...

Sorry for not being here and assisting Basil'nDave lately, but my help was required in the Riverland. An elderly citrus block owner (chap has 2 artificial knees) was at a crisis stage due to the water restrictions etc; so me and another bloke spent a swag of days up there hedge trimming his trees (Navel...

It is a shame that you two guys have to prop up this site, and your efforts must be commended, and the info put forward. It maybe time to back off a little and see if it deserves to survive as unfortunately the Davo annd Basil show is a little boring. Not to be offensive, but a wake up call.

I live in Canberra. We have 4 seasons here. I've lived here since 1979.....Do I like it here?? sorry no, I'd prefer to live on the coast, near a beach (free) unfortunatley the cost has me snookered. Seriously Canberra was a great place to bring up kids, all amenities were available, plenty of "gre...

Now I have to tell ya's all I'm waiting for someone to post along the lines of: "Single male seeks single female VMIS" For those of you who are interested, I'm short, fat, bald, ugly, inteligent, educated (tertiary), articulate, non smoker, non humper, social drinker, loves the outdoors...

A couple of shot of the GAB and the GAFA. Nothing takes me by surprise anymore, I've seen a bloke pushing lawn mower along the highway from Brisbane others dragging hand carts across the Simpson with a blue healer in tow ,pushing wheel barrows up the gun barrel highway paddling canoes down croc inf...

I recieved an email from a lady whom shall remain anon, anin, amonr, well she didnt want me to say her name on the forum, she had been acosted on the street and was asked for money and various items, she was one of a party of three and yet she was singled out as the one to "attack" she wished to know w...

Hi we are newbies to this site, we are not quite grey nomads yet but have found your site to be very useful thus far. My problem is where to find short term temporary work. I have googled everything I can think of but no luck. I am a registered nurse with 15yrs exp and have done a little bit of everything.....

No 1 that is a misnomour and an outright lie, nobody is conserving the bush, there are very few who give a damn about the bush, a lot of people dont even know or care where or what the "bush" is, the government couldnt give a rats about our most fantastic spots, I have just finished writing up a re...

Hi just became a member so bear with me! We have a new Jayco Sterling; has a gas oven but temperature not good; read somewhere that you can buy a thermometer to test it. Any hints from fellow Jayco owners or others? We crossed the Nullabor from Mt. Gambier 1st week in July-great trip, saw dozen whales at he...

G'day misfits, well we made it, buggered if I know how, the road up to blinman from wilpena pound should be signposted as "bulldozers only" and basically shut down but it was only 200km's of bone shaking, vehicle destroying dust absorbing nightmare stuff, a lot of the time we were bottom g...

just a quick warning to the owners of aforementioned jayco vans, before entering extensive gravel or stone road country be sure and have protective metal plates put in place to protect the plastic piping that protrudes from the underside of the van, we had two vans that pulled in to Arkarroola both lo...
