Just spent a great 12 days out at Greens Lake. So good to meet new grey nomads there for the first time. Thank you to The Kiwis for some wonderful meals on quite a few occasions.

Hi Guys, Looking at buying a new fridge due to an expanding family and a mate suggested the Primus Mammoth 65 dual zone (wife wants to take icecreams for the little ones).

We are settling in for summer at Rye, it's a beautiful privilege to be able to stay on family property down here, BUT, even though the neighbours have gone out of their way to greet us, we are missing "Happy Hour" chats.... Wondering if there are any other GNs in the vicinity now or over summer...

If you have a small caravan or any sized van What do you do when bad weather strikes? Like the current heat wave and thunder storms etc?

Hi Folks, over the years of caravanning, I have reached the following conclusions. If you leave the roof hatch open when you retire for the night there will be a distinct possibility of rain before morning. If you are on a winding road in the forest you will only meet a log truck on a hairpin bend. If you fa...

Hi to all happy campers out there We are also in the very early stages of planning a 3 month trek to Cape York and beyond, although this might change as we approach the time of departure.
