The Grey Nomads - General

bill12 · bill12

I just looked and noticed that the rabid nsw supporters are very Quiet this morning. Is it because they got flogged 26 to 6 last night at Lang park in Qld? And Krudd is back as PM, so QLD WINS on both fronts.Might be too early for certain people who need self medication before they post.Will be a great game i...

From today's Sydney Morning Herald: They live in a caravan more than a house, spend months at a time travelling around Australia and know more camping sites than most Australians have had cold beers on a summer's evening. But don't call John and Elaine Tickner grey nomads. They say they're part of a sp...

I just got a rough quote for our Tassy trip and it worked out at $1158, just to get us and the van over there! That's not including a return trip. I couldn't believe it. Does that sound right to you guys? I'm in shock, I didn't believe it would cost so much. We are now considering trying to get cheap flights an...

Afternoon all. We are awaiting delivery of our new van, which has a Truma Avanti aircon. unit. The supplier has told us that a Honda 2.0kva inverter generator would suffice to operate it, providing no other 240 volt appliance is being used. This would be fine with us, as a 3kva is too big and bulky for our...

This is just for anyone heading for northern Qld (or already there). In addition to the famed Comfort Stop the good people of Home Hill have opened up their showground. And a very nice place to stop it is. It costs $10 a night for a powered site - the same for unpowered (they like to keep things simple) so...

A truely magnificent site to pause and reflect and not only on those who have given their lives in Afghanastan. It has be...

We went for a drive out to Murray Falls for a look around and to see how many Nomads were out there enjoying the place. Walking around and having a chat to some of the lucky travellers, I noticed a large branch had broken off the Bluegum Tree next to the couple we were talking to. I pointed it out the guy and...

Bugger he's still around I just heard someone up in the Dress Circle say. You can't help bad luck can you. Well, this last week has been very hectic indeed, this retirement and grey nomad thing is really hard work and I tell you that for free. I decided to take myself off to the moving pictures last Tue...
