Well we thought they were an endagered species these Grey Nomads, we have been on the road for 8 weeks now and met many travellers who meet the criteria of being a GN, but when we have asked them if they are a member of the grey nomads website it has always been met with a blank look on their faces. however.....

Driving along, minding my own busness and there is an audible POP (heard over Peter Dawsons rendition of Waltzing Matilda) and clouds of acrid smoke fill the cabin.

I should say from the outset I belive in the right to choose. Tasmainian Greens have put up a Bill and it's being opposed by some staunch Christian ethisists in Melbourne.

For those people who haven't visited Paronella Park before, put it on your list of things to do in FNQ. Fantastic place to spend a day wandering around the grounds, not cheap at $30pp but you get a day and night tour and it even includes a powered site in the adjacent caravan park. It is advisable to book a...
