Gday... This topic has been bandied around on a couple of other threads recently. I thought I would put this information in one new thread for those who may have missed the discussions that have meandered around within other topics. Again, this could quite probably have been in Technies' Corner, but...

OK back in the 1980s-90s while living in Kalgoorlie, one of our favourite pastimes was catching Yabbies in many dams around Kalgoorlie. They make a fabulous Sunday Arvo meal, and no dinner cooking on Sun night. I haven't heard of people going Yabbying for Donkey's ages. If anybody knows of any Yabbie...

Can anyone tell me the pro's and con's of using a heat reflective roof coating for top of the van. Will this exercise give us relief from the summer sun. I read somewhere where this guy painted the van roof with protective paint and was happy with the heat relief generated. Jay&Dee

I have just dropped a couple of notes in the I digress forum below, and thought maybe a couple of NORMAL Grey Nomads might like to read it. The subject is, I think, I Digress. To the knockers I really am trying hard. Simmo.

OK, it is Sat night and I have had a couple of sherbets, but think I am still in control. When I tell my friends my hair is naturally as black as coal, and I use a grey tint in my hair so I can qualify as a grey Nomad, they all look at me a bit funny like. I am curious to know if, I am on my own in this trauma, or are ther...

I notice a lot of people having trouble backing their caravans in be side concrete slabs. I thought I might share a little trick I developed early in my 30 years of caravanning and it goes like this. (A) Always back in from the right hand side so you are looking out the drivers window. (B) Measure the over...
