The Grey Nomads - General

Gerty Dancer · Gerty Dancer

We were woken in caravan parks by people packing up before daylight on the last 2 mornings. Maybe they have to drive long distances. Well we are on holidays so we get up around 7 and go when we are ready, not usually driving more than 300k's a day. What sort of timetable do other Grey Nomads keep?

Soo all going to plan, we should have it next week and our Hawk Outback is now on the mar...

Ahh! It feels so good to be on our way, we are at Balranald and heading west, when we get to Pt Augusta we'll turn right. Lots of caravans and motor-homes on the road, fascinating scenery, country getting drier as we go. Say hullo if you see us!

Mount Isa is a good town with plenty of services available. Kmart clothing prices would flog the ears off the east coast. Favorite slab of beer is $8 cheeper than major outlets back on the coast. Moving on friday & will catch up when we reach our destination on the Poper. Cheers , J & L.
