Hi Everyone, I have just joined the forum today and also just purchased a van ready for travelling. My question today is we are going to the tennis in Melbourne in January and wanting a caravan park close to public transport may it be bus or train and it doesn't have to be close to the inner city. Can anyone...

I had the pleasure of meeting "Travelbug", Pam, today. We had a lovely lunch and a chat while driving around Townsville. A lovely lady if you get the chance to meet her. Thanks for the company Pam. Travel safe on your journey and keep safe.

Arrived in Goomeri this afternoon and went to the showgrounds to see if we could book in for a few nights. As we approached we saw the place is quite busy but didn't look full so drove in and have been lucky enough to get a spot. I don't know if it is normal but they have opened the gates to allow people to set up...

A lady came into the Visitor Information Centre in Yeppoon today, wanting to put up an advertisement for a grey nomad couple to house-sit in July & August.
