Hi folks, I am a newbie on the GN site, having only recently managed to poke my nose into the solos forum, me being a solo traveller. Can anyonne tell me if they have pulled a van into a place called 'Eddies Camp', near Hopevale in NQ. It looks like heaven, and a great place for fishing tragics, like myself...

OK so I've been on the road for a little while now and one of the things I've learned is what stuff I haven't got that I need - or, more precisely what stuff I've got that I need more of.

Today I did something I've never done in my life before. I dobbed in someone with an unrestrained toddler in the back of their car. I rang the police and reported them. The woman who answered the phone was just as horrifed as I was..although she's probably heard a lot worse. Would you do the same?
