As long as you find a nice Wombat to take his place Doug, GN can't afford to lose members, we want to increase them, but then sometimes it is better the Wombat you know than the one you don't..  wink biggrin

Glad you got your tug back and are on your way travelling again.  When we were at Charters Towers we stayed at the TT CP there, they had a bloke doing bush poetry in the campers kitchen for a gold coin donation.

I haven't stayed there but others have said the other CP near the lookout is nicer, but haven't been there, the TT one was ok and had ensuites on the sites.

Also possible that some may no longer visit the site Jack and have never bothered to delete their membership (eg: someone sells their RV and no longer follows the lifestyle). confuse

As long as those who are registered or visit get some benefit from the forum that is the main thing, not everyone is comfortable with posting but everyone's input is appreciated if they choose to do so. smile
