Solo Grey Nomads

After the Cathedral Tree I went to Lakeside Caravan Park at Yungaburra, I had previously checked the price out at $7.50 per night for a solo but decided to be extravagant and took the powered site option for $15 per night. This was the first time for over a year of travelling that I have used a caravan par...

Set off from Babinda in the rain but hoped for a weather change, didn't look forward to driving up the Gillies Range in the rain and photos would be hard to take. By the time I got to Gordonvale the rain had lifted and I did my grocery shopping and filled up the bus. The drive up the range was not as scary as I h...

Having received my lap top on Tuesday I was able to leave Babinda to recommence my travels and the first place was Boulders at Babinda Camps6 #13 and as the book says it has very few sites so I set off early to grab one. As I found out there is no internet access at the Boulders either by Optus or Telstra so th...

When traveling in the Hi Ace I had 2 fires in 2 years and my thinking was that to do fires safely one would need lots of equipment and the space to house smoky containers plus the extra gear. After spending time at Boulder Creek where we had fires continuously for almost 2 weeks I came away with the idea tha...

Arrived in Babinda yesterday and found the place to be full but some walking around found a spot and I have set up for a few days. Excellent facilities with a new shower block recently opened allowing $2 showers for 4 minutes plus dump point and drinking water. This is a RV friendly town and I walked to the...

Ratchet one is around $100 ,.......of course there is the super dooper $350 with a 12v motor and some bells and whistles getting the t...

Clearly the laptop has to be received here before I can move on but what to do then? There are several camps in the Dimboola State Forest near Atherton and they will be my first objective, via Gordonvale and up the hill towards Atherton. In have been told of some free camps around Atherton and I will be abl...

Hi all, I have just completed The Big lap - what an incredible adventure! Note clearly that I haven't finished traveling, there is still so much to see! But for now grandparent duties, dog duties, Happy Tax Man Duties and house renovating will tie me down for a while.

I have found a showground (Tully) that doesn't charge to camp overnight, call into the information office to request a free stopover and a paper authority will be issued for up to 2 days. There are limited places available all near the big Cassowary. Water is available and just by the gate there is a t...

I have arrived in Barmera this afternoon. What a wonderful drive up from Adelaide via Waikerie. The River Murray is certainly majestic and as I have never been up this way before I have been playing tourist a little. So much to see and do I think that one could spend some time around this area with heaps of...

I visited Josephine Falls and the Golden Hole between Innisfail and Babinda and what beautiful places they are and not far from the beaten track, the walk to the falls is 700mtrs and the car park is adjacent to the Golden Hole. Really places where sharing is better than going alone. No camping there in t...
