Yellowpinch dam is a roadside rest area about 30 km south of Bega. Like most roadside stops there is an expectation that the stop should only be 24 hours, but there are no signs stating any restrictions. An elderly couple who left the day after I got there said they had been there a week and I stopped for th...

This is amazing. I wish I had found the GN's site before we started on our vanning adventure. I can't recall exactly where I have seen some of you but I do remember seeing Ibbo and the skull and cross bones flag flying somewhere or other.

Dog walks into the post office at Karumba and wants to send a telegram, grabs a form & writes woof. woof. woof. woof. woof. woof. woof. woof. woof. & hands it to the clerk who looks at it and helpfully suggests that there are 9 woof's and for the same price he can put in an extra woof. The dog respon...

Those of us that are about to embark on their first Oz 360, are no doubt a little apprehensive as to how the first leg will pan out, scuse the pun.

So when we get our Grey Nomads stickers, where do you all suggest would be the most identifiable, prominent location on our vehicles and/or vans? When just passing it will be hard to see. If following, then it will be obvious from the rear, if it's stuck on the rear. What do ya all reckon? Chris

It was raised sometime ago about how this site can be accessed via a google search for words. Its just a function of the internet not a security problem of this forum. It does lend itself to a "slight" concern, paticularly to solo's, in my opinion. If you list your full name, address that is ea...
