None of us have been everywhere in Australia but if all us grey nomads combined our photo's the result would probably cover most of it. This is the spot to try and stump each other as to where a particular scenic photo has been taken. Please include something in the photos submitted that will be an obviou...

Are you boiling hot, freezing cold, or soaking wet? Is the wind howling or is there a gentle sea breeze cooling you as you sip a pina colada on the beach?

For me two places stand out ( more will come to mind, but I'm a senior so I am having a moment) 1 Mataranka, a stunning spot I thought, the springs are usually full of grey nomads immersed in the warm water, the meals at the resaurant were fantastic and the Van Park though a bit on the dusty side was very clean...

Caravan insurance

Just wondering what insurance company people are using for their caravan insurance. Our fridge boards blew in a storm and we were told by our insurance company that they are not covered. Any recommendations for reliable affordable insurance please.

Or purchasing a generator/ inverter (around the $500 to$1000 mark). the generator will be the cheaper option, but my concern is the noise....

Can anyone recommend a good service centre to look at my Waeco 65l fridge, in Hobart, please? The centres linked on the dometic site are sales centres, not service agents. At least, based upon the call I just made, the person answering the phone suggested they could "organise" a technician to look at i...

Just perusing the can of worms that is the newly introduced driving tests for Greys. Along with reduced benefits for Greys based on age by MBF and HCF, I see what I have read as "over the top" to say the least and aged discrimination at its most blatant. It would be interesting to see per capita, the numb...
