At first when I read this news item I was horrified... shooting in National Parks? Never! But then think of the feral animals that are not being eradicated, everywhere you go you see evidence of rabbits, wild pigs, and feral cats and dogs in NP's. Shooters might be able to make a difference there. But th...

Thanks for all the advice on looking after ourselves in King's Canyon. We stopped 3 nights and did the rim walk. Only 1 silly idiot (oriental) who kept going near the edge but otherwise it was superb. The entertainment at the Kings Canyon resort was brilliant and not to be missed. Also don't miss a t...

Number 239 in Camps 6. The Lynd Junction. I wouldn't recommend this one folks. The friends I was travelling with had rung to book in, and was told 'no need to book, there's plenty of room'. When we got there, there were only two powered sights left. It was a small-ish fenced area at the back of the roadhous...

Hi Everyone. We (Tony and me - Sue) are about to hit the road out of town (in this case, the Gold Coast) for parts north, then maybe west, but sometime or another south...you get the drift. Thing is, we still haven't got the van. Heaps of looking - maybe too much. But we do want off road capabilities because...

I am a retired Australian and for years dreamed of having a canal barge in France. I got my dream but because it is over 20 metres long I must have at least 2 people on board. I have tried everywhere to get people to travel with me without success. Hopefully I won't have put it on the market. Want a cheap and l...

I was recently chatting with a park manager and she dropped into the conversation that the three (3) caravan parks in Roma Qld are all owned by the same people! Just 3 different managers. So they all charge the same price and when they are all full - the showground gets the overflow and the fees there are a...

Hi all. I'm grey and a nomad but am nowhere near pension age yet so to fund my travels I will have to work as I go. I've been in QLD about 6 weeks now, having jumped the ditch from NZ and done only one week of work so far, picking capsicums in Bowen at $1 a bucket. I made about $60 an 8 hour day, which was more than m...

For the first time ever I can not read the Grey Nomad Times. I click on it and as it opens I get a pop up grey box with something about Runtime Error. Have never seen it before, and not had a problem opening the Times before. If I try to get rid of the pop top it won't let me read the times page, I keep getting a Ping...
