I intend to purchase a Telstra pre-paid mobile broadband card $180 for 12gb (and they hanged Ned Kelly!!) for any area off the beaten track. As I'll be travelling mainly on the east coast what sort of other plans are people using and getting reasonable coverage.

I know I go on the sight reasonably often and due to some reticence don't often post. I have a query, have I missed the latest Weekly mailbag? The last one I saw was for the 2-9 August.

For many years I have worked and travelled in the outback and i do read at length some of the articles which are written in this form.

Gday... Today the awning fabric was finally replaced after killing time around Dubbo for two weeks. Took the repairer in Dubbo a bit of extra time re-positioning the anti-flap-kit rails but it all worked out pretty good. So tonight I am sitting in the Nyngan Leisure Van Park - and will be heading to Bou...

So lovely to meet my first "Grey Nomad" on the road this afternoon in Emerald, down by the Botanical Gardens. Gypsy Rover! What a charming lady. To set the record straight I think her Winnebago looks nothing like a horse float. Andy
