In our travels we often meet people at caravan parks who are "minding the place" while the owners get away for awhile. Does anyone know if there is a website to register to do this or whether it's just word of mouth?

Hi, I'm after a place to camp around the Longreach / Winton district. We have a camper trailer and two-wheel drive vehicle. Ideally, we'd like something apart from the local caravan parks, like a farm or station. Cheers

My husband and I are getting the 'itch' and are starting to give serious thought to becoming Grey Nomads. I am getting very excited. It will be great to have my questions answered by some very travelled nomads. Looking forward to it. Cheers.

Hi, I'm a new member. We would love to hire a small van for about a month's travel on the mainland - we're from Tassie - but we're having trouble finding a company that will let us bring along our litle dog. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

We will be towing an Adria which weighs in at about 1500kg fully loaded. We have not yet decided what vehicle would be the most suitable for towing - not planning real off road trips at this stage. At present we have a Toyota Aurion V6 but it is not suitable for the long haul being a front wheel drive. Thin...
