..Well I did as I said about going away for a few days..took off yesterday morning heading for the Veterans camp at Dareton between Mildura and Wentworth. Decided to drive some back roads I hadn't been on before, cruising along 85 kph and enjoying myself. Then "****E" everything came to...

Glad you all liked the photos of my little A Van. It's like Dr Who's Tardis, bigger on the inside than it is on the outside. To answer those questions: Tows like a dream. Takes about two minutes to put up by myself with one hand tied behind my back (only if I'm showing off!). Inside, there's a table and seati...

I reckon either we are on rations, or all our Solo Nomads have scampered and heading for them far horizons. How lucky can you get. I'm sitting here listening to my folk hero Slim Dusty's Family Reunion Album, and now my feet are itchy with them musical adventures. But, after helping my daughter with c...

Where are you Dave, I, for one miss you, I miss your good advice, the fun and good jokes we had, regardless of if your single, solo or otherwise I would like to see you ( and anyone else for that matter) come back and post in the solo forum. I think it is a disgrace that you started the Solo forum and now you do...

My first experience driving in mud. It had rained pretty well during the night and for no reason at all I decided to take a short cut, on a road I had never travelled before. Everything was going pretty well until I came to gravel road. I never drive on gravel roads, I always turn back no matter how...

Hi All, I am new to this forum and am really here because i am researching for a short student documentary on Solo travellers. I'd be really interested in your thoughts on the following if you don't mind: 1) what do you love about the "grey nomad" lifestyle? 2) how much time have you spent on th...

Just a thought ..... I was just wondering what other ladies do to fill in time of a night ....... I knit. I do voluntary knitting for charity, for people with cancer, they find it hard to keep warm, perhaps you might like to do a few articles as well, a change from reading or watching telly. One of the ar...

Count Down...........yep, 2 weeks and I'm off for my first camping experience.

Are you a solo traveller or just thinking about setting off on the adventure of a lifetime on your own? Do you want to ask some questions of those who have gone before, or perhaps to offer some tips and advice. Are you looking for someone to share a leg of your journey with? Or do you just want to touch base wi...

My work had me such where, from a young age, I "had" to go to many places. I did not see it as anymore than "what i had to do". Having seen a fair bit of Aussie, and then going O/S, I can comfortably say, Aussie has all the sites available anywhere in the world. The only problem, as I saw i...
