Solo Grey Nomads

Marshall · Marshall

I saw a comment elsewhere about a newbie mistake of taking "too much food". As a newbie, this has been bugging me as I can't see it, particularly solo which means that I'm carrying (ballpark) 150kg less mass in tow vehicle/caravan than if there were two of us. For me, making a meal is part of my (new) lifes...

Hi everyone, I've just recently returned from a trip which included Mt. Isa, Bourketown, Cape York and Weipa. Portions of the Cape York gravel roads are really shocking. In country Queensland asphalt roads only exist in the larger towns and cities, the rest of the sealed roads are chip sealed(2cm sc...

Called on John from the forum he has a house in Gin Gin and had coffee and talk for a while then setting off for Calliope. Don't know how it happened but I missed the camp ground and I had been there last month but from the other direction. Took the Biloela road and by the time I realized that it was the wrong ro...

I think I stayed at Lightning Ridge a bit too long, and I'm getting really itchy feet. More so that it is getting increasingly wintery here. Temps close to zero before the sunrise, very cold nights, and days about 15 to 18 degrees max. Not to my liking. Someone else going that way by chance? Any good free c...

Thought I would give the thumbs up to Morisset (NSW) Showground. My 1st venture was not too far but a reunion of work buddies on the Central Coast (NSW). I decided to stay just an hour away on the travel night so I would be bright eyed and bushy tailed for the 4 day weekend. Thinking I would stay well I don't k...

I've spent some time reading through a lot of posts, from when the thread was first started until this year and it appears that a lot of people have dropped out. There appeared to be a real warmth and interaction in the early days - along with a bit of biffo as always happens - but now days few people seem to...

Where are all the Solos hiding? That's a question I was asking myself the whole time I was away. Just got back from 2mths travelling through Vic & southern NSW, over 4,000kms, a mixture of free camping & C/Pks & sad to say I never met one other solo traveller. I did meet a couple of single l...
