The Grey Nomads - General

Annie8702 · Annie8702

Just a general question. Are there plenty of either caravan parks or free stays with lots of travelers staying overnight in this stretch and would you need to carry extra fuel or are the servos close enough not to have to worry about it. We don't like to travel for too long in a day.

We have just spent a week come Monday camped at Corryong on the Rec Reserve/Golf Course, and I have to say this is one of the best run festivals we have ever attended, it got virtually washed out last year but the weather has been superb this time. Corryong is a town of about 1500 people but during the festi...

Hi all, I think I should reword my last post. What I should have asked was "are there any grey nomads who are travelling full time on a DSP Pension"

I've just spent the last 4 days down at the free camp at Texas on the Dumaresq river with 8 or 9 of the grandkids and what a great place. You camp right on the river or further back if you desire with plenty of room. Lots of firewood within walking distance, skip bins at the entrance and a free camper friendly...

Hi Nomads, We are upsizing our caravan (to 1200kg tare) and need to get a better tow vehicle. We are very limited with $$ budget and are looking at around $6K. We are considering a 3L turbo Jackeroo, 2.8L Pajero and 2.8L Nissan Patrol. We would like any and all feedback to help us decide on the best vehicle...

Bob & Rhonda are on the Peninsula for the next two to three weeks, overnighted at Ardrossen freedom stopover and heading down to Innes National Park for the next week. Pandalowrie Point is our first five days so hope the fish are friendly. Say hi to us if you are in the area.

Just remembered some other items of interest about this town and wonder if others have noticed: 1... at the top of the door entrance of the cafe you can just make out "licensed to sell poisons" behind the No 17 street number. Hmmm. 2...with a town name like "Texas" is it coinciden...

Hi Folks After our brief stay in Broken Hill (a separate post probably immediately below this one), we intend to spend about a month in Melbourne. We're after a CP (unless someone has a better site idea that has power/water/sullage) which cost wise will probably be on the outskirts of the city. No fu...
