Here we are at Westwood, 50kms west of Rockhampton where we will leave our motorhome while we go on a cruise. But the weather is so wet I need to find a dry place to get my washing dry. A couple of fine days would be just lovely. We catch the tilt train back down to Sunshine Coast on Thursday so that is why I n...

I think that this deserves a post of it's own. Congratulations Della on the birth of your new Australia Day grandchild, Haley Kate, 8lbs 11 ozs. Won't be long now before you are out of hospital and giving her lots of cuddles. Love to all of you. Pam. xoxox

I was wondering which is most vunerable to theft, caravan, motorhome, 5th wheelers or slide on. Caravans can be hitched to any tow ball, cars and trucks are stolen daily, slideons would need a right size flatbed plus anchor points and 5th wheelers a special hitch Any thoughts on how to protect our 2nd...

Hi everybody. I just wanted to let you know that I have deleted the string entitled ‘Burning the flag’. I understand this is an important issue and one which has provoked strong reactions.

Saw his interview on the news, last service next Sunday, then he heads out into the unknown he said. Would love to have him at a happy hour or around the bonfire telling stories. He's quite a character.

Jimbo said in the weekly mailbag that he wouldn't get in one in case they crashed. Well, I have to say I've been in one - my daughter bought me a flight for my birthday a few years ago. They are expensive, about $400 but well worth it. The company I went with - Balloon Sunrise - were very safety conscious, co...

Hope all our Grey Nomad friends are staying dry and safe with all the rain in SE Qld and NSW at the moment - seems to be getting more widespread. Friends went down the coast - may get stuck there - Pacific Motorway got water over the road in some spots. Take lots of care.
