They were heading Wondai way to go home, and I camped at the Weir for the night. I hope none of our GN's were the...

A trick I learnt many years ago may help if you get caught out driving in heavy rain. Put on a pair of sunglasses. You'll be surprised how clearly you can see the road ahead thru a windscreen being pelted with heavy rain.

I realise most of you don't drive at night, but if the need should arise, I pass on the following tip, which I found very useful on a recent night trip home from Melbourne.

Our plan to hit the road is a few more steps closer to happening. Original plan was to take 18 months off work. In the last couple of weeks the plan changed a little. We both decided to quit work & retire. ( have to say it does feel strange not having a job for the first time in our lives) Finishing of a fe...

I am very pleased with myself, I have finally worked out how to use my mobile phone as a modem for my laptop. I am very slow to work these things out.

Hi All, Well it's 3 months today till we leave on our gap year as grey nomads. I am starting to look at the route that we could take.

I was caught up in a road block by Police just east of Sims Gap in NSW on Monday. Further investigation revealed a small motorhome lying on the highway on the driver's side. I don't know if anyone was hurt, or worse, but all emergency services attended. I concluded only speed could have caused this event...
