I took Felicia for my first real drive, down the highway to the Strawberry Farm at Pimpama, and met a few grey nomads. Very nice people. Had some good laughs.

I felt like a celebrity today in the local shopping centre car park. A lady approached me looking at my wheel cover and asked me if I was THE Cruising Granny on The Grey Nomads Forum. After introductions we sat with a cuppa and chatted for the next 3 hours sharing stories of travel plans. I have a feeling ne...

But seriously, how hard is it to tell the freaking truth?! If I say 'does the van have any water damage/leaks/rust/damage to windows/hatches/doors?' I want to know if it has any of those things. If I ask, 'Is the floor solid?' I don't want to arrive to find what feels like a saggy trampoline masqueradi...

We are sitting here waiting for dinner. $15 per night, free washing machines and dryers and are able to eat at BHP dining room for $12 smorgasborg. Things can't get much better than that.

Be careful if you're travelling in NQ. I heard that the bushfires are bad around Townsville. Stay safe!

Just finished watching ACA and there was a follow-up on the story last week about the couple who could not get their tennants out of their home when they came back from their trip. Apparently after ACA got involved, within 4 days the tennants were packing up and moving out - final inspection tomorrow. A...
