Continuation from my post re Chilli Beach , Yep Bill12 an awesome place and why it is such a Paradise still is because it has not got the infrastructure to entice the masses here.

Because that's where the work has taken me. I've been here on and off for 5 days. When I was off I was heading to Biloela, Kingaroy, Biloela and Gladstone. Sort of a tourist.

Has anyone out there towed with Nissan X Trail 2.5L petrol? Ours is 2 years old and in good nick. We are heading off in June with our new Coromal Transforma MT45 pop top. Homer is a bit worried that the Nissan may not have the power to tow the van. The tare of the van is 1170 and overall length is 6110mm. We...

This really is a great site to be part of.

Hi all, just spend a very pleasant 3 days at the Calliope River Crossing campsite - bit of a shock to the system to see how the floods have rearranged the landscape, only the northern upper side is still viable. Drove up to Rockie today to do some shopping etc., and then, as it was getting late and I needed...

If anyone decided to head up into the Cape a good idea is to stop in at the quarantine station about 20ks north of Coen on the way up ,as it has a wealth of information regarding the can do's and can't do's while visiting the Top End. The guy has been doing this same job for over 26 years ,so he is only too ha...

I would love to take part in a GN musical Muster. Have been to many Folk, Country and blues Music events over many years, I reckon we could have our own Grey Nomads Muster.
