The Grey Nomads - General

So... Was reading the thread about high charges in some camp grounds and got me thinking... ( I know, it hurts... I try not to do it too often!)

Anyway, seems a lot are free camping ( ideally, that is what we wish to do) so that will save on camp site fees. I also realise the less you travel around...

This gravity powered light was designed to provide a cheap power source for Third World nations. I assume it could also have camping and caravan applications. Interesting in either case http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t7aCvf2MQmM

Grey Nomads are being slung $53.30 for a one night powered sight at the Prom. This is the same charge weather you have one person or eight on the site, surely this is an over the top charge ?

How many grey nomads are there? What about blue rinse nomads? Or bald nomads? Or white (like me) nomads? Or Grecian 2000 nomads? Variety is the spice of life, ya know. Grey schmey.

We have a rough day on the coast yesterday and remained indoors most of the day whilst the rain tumbled and the wind howled past. Our poor next door neighbour who has just returned from Bargara last week found his caravan 6 mts from where he had unhooked it....Thank heavens for insurance

Good Evening all, I am just curious what exactly is the definition of a Grey Nomad? Is it because you have achieved the age of retirement, or literally you are showing a little grey around the temples, or is it just a state of mind that puts you with a group of like minded people who love the road. I ask b...
