I watched 60 minutes article on the grey nomads and they featured Barn Hill in Western Australia. I gather it is up the coast right on the sea. Could anyone please tell me where it is as it really looks fantastic as a secluded place to camp away from the hussle and bussle.

They have a pool but are keen to get some feedback regarding what other facilities/activities that grey nomads would like to see at a va...

Hi I'm about to become a "grey nomad" but i really need to get some idea of the "must haves" and the "make life more comfortable haves". I'll be travelling in a campervan by myself so I'm a bit aprehensive about that so any hints on going solo would also help.

Well that's it for me..no more spending hours over maps etc; to work on an itinerary. Is it just me, or do other travellers linger longer and look at most of the interesting sights and lag behind their schedule and never catch up? One day turns into one & a half and so on....... So for me, every day is...
