Hello Everyone, Thank you for allowing me to join The Grey Nomads Forum. I love the website and have gathered a lot of ideas on where i would like to travel. First on my list i think will have to be The Grampians. I am also looking forward to the whole of the South Australian Coast. We are lucky to live in a bea...

' "Both of our dogs died this morning due to ingesting 1080. Unknown to us our boy, Bear ate it and three hours later he died the most horrible death. He used his last bit of life to get to his bonded mate, Luna, where he died as my partner held him. We didn't know what was going on. Luna seemed fine... until sh...

Despite my many years swag and tent camping I've never been much of a campfire cook but a recent visit from a friend who brought a campfire hotplate with her and produced some excellent food got me thinking. Question: What sort of equipment do you guys use for campfire cooking? I'm thinking; hotplates...

I have two Isa Brown chooks. They both lay nearly every day so we are well kept in eggs. However, about this time each year, one goes clucky, stops laying and stays in the laying box most of the time. The other, sneaks in, lays its egg and gets out again. Does anyone know how to encourage a clucky chook to g...

There has been a lot on the news over the last couple of days about possible side effects of the corona virus vaccine and how the risks are being managed over-sea's. So I am just wondering if any of our forum members have been for their first vaccination and what side effects if any they may have suffered ....

When I am away I like to pack a good supply of canned goods. In particular, canned fish. Now, I am a keen "Australian Owned and made" supporter and when I can, I only buy those products. Did you know, that you cannot buy Australian made and packed tinned fish? Its all packed in Thailand. i.e. Australi...

I am looking at a van that has two battery boxes located on the chassis and currently used for AGM batteries. I want to go with lithium batteries and use the same battery boxes. Is there any reason why this is not recommended?

Now installed at a retirement village in Mandurah WA. Four years full time on the road, for the second time, first was towing a Jayco Swan, this time a Jayco Silverline. We both prefer the traveling and living in the van, but couldn't address the van over weight problem, and glad to get that that anxiety...

Hi we have a custom concept Ascot 21.5 that we currently tow with a Ford ranger and it does it well. The ranger is going soon, And I have decided on a New 110 D300 defender, was wondering is there many out there already doing the job? And how you find it? Thanks in advance and stay safe.

Anyone had experience with Brass Monkey or Kings fridges? How do they stack up please?

Struggling to find any and the one that I have seen posted about is nearly three years old

I was browsing Bunnings camping products online one night and saw their tent peg and rope kit. In it were 6 plastic pegs, 6 steel pegs, and 6 screw like pegs. So on a gamble, I bought 6 galvanised coach screws with 3/4 HEX heads, as they looked far bigger, and better, but because they weren't "bonafide" s...

Do you slam your caravan door shut? Do you slam your car doors shut? If so, why? I can't understand why a lot of people slam doors shut? I just close gently and it still closes OK. While on noise. Do you have outside speakers? Do you watch TV outside with volume up loud? Do you think of others around you, no...

This fella was lucky to have this van stay on its wheels after a sudden swerve unsettled it.How you'd end up driving outside the fogline AND not see the roadworks barricade is anyone's guess,but luck was in his side this time.Cheers. -- Edited by yobarr on Saturday 3rd of April 2021 05:44:02 PM

The installation of Bollards East and West of the Boat Ramp has been fully completed. The Bollards have LITTLE or NO effect upon the original camping sites. They do, however, stop camping upon the lake shore and have solved the environmental issue. All camping sites have been cleaned up after the In...
