The Grey Nomads - General

Does any one reading this forum have experience in getting an article accepted and published for caravan and or camping magazines? I read a lot of mags and it seems to be the same writers all the time having the chance to get an article published. Any hints on how to crack the ice, so to speak?

It's been getting very dry here at Dickabram bridge but today we have had some lovely rain. The area certainly needs it & the Mary River is very low.

Yes, we are still here. Awaiting my appointment with specialist next Wednesday. I think I mentioned before, a couple of weeks ago, about a young couple who arrived & set up a tent here.

I see Happy Wanderer is now "The Master" - when did this happen? I missed sending congratulations, sorry Marj. Not sure how it works, but seems like with over 10,000 posts she's grown out of the "Guru" status! "Mistress" might have been more suited though.

Arrived at Martin's Bend, east of Berri on the River Murray in South Australis. It's got this name because it's a bend in the river but who Martin was I have no idea.
