Travelling alone
(

)
(Preview)
I am 62 years old and I want to start travelling (alone), but a number of things concern me. I was wondering if any solo grey nomads can throw some light on my concerns. The thought of travelling on my own terrifies me - especially at night, or if (perish the thought) I break down in the middle of nowhere. Ho...

Dalmeny Point.
(Preview)
This is one of the best spots I have been to. On a hill overlooking the ocean, even with others parked on top of me, but that is all OK. Great beach to walk on, great walking paths, shops near by and clean modern conveniences. Today it is very quiet and almost has an eerie feel about it. Dead still, sea the ca...

An interesting afternoon.
(Preview)
Gentlemen, I have a little piece of advise that you may want to think about. I laughed but sheesh it sort of just hit a raw nerve a little also. I spent about 3 hours solid hand washing and polishing Miss Daisy this afternoon. Now MD is a 26foot long MH, so no small feat. I was up and down my ladder, changing w...

Granny Checkin' In
(

)
(Preview)
It's been a while, but I thought I'd better check in. Work has been quiet due to many factors, and then the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator brought the whole industry to a screaming halt in February, and it's still not running smoothly. So you may notice the absence of oversize loads out there on the h...

Berwick Showgrounds. What a little gem.

Water and power, the amenities block is awesome, dump point, and a short walk to supermarkets, hotel and little restaurants...

Loki's Last Run
(Preview)
As noted in a recent issue of the GNT, to some there comes an end to the travels. The decision to provide needed support for my family has curtailed my travels, so I have sold my campervan and will run it up to the new owners in Queensland as my Last Hurrah. I am hoping to do more traveling but current circu...
