Back in Aus after 6 months in the US. Hanging out at Yelgun for a week with daily trips to South Golden sands, plus my daily bike rides. Any other GN's in the area, if so drop in, I have the Coaster with the bike on the back Johnnz

Hi my name is Anthony and I have been looking at this site for a while. Thinking that it may be time to hit the road. Worked all my life and now just sold a business and maybe I should hit the highway and the dirtways. Should I get a caravan or motorhome these are my choices. Each has their plus's and minus's...

Beaconsfield Showgrounds Camps6 #263 is similar to all the free camps down the West Tamar Highway in that the hours are between 5pm & 9am making for a quick stopover, nothing wrong with that but lacking in the fellowship that exists where longer stopovers are available. Beaconsfield has a huge a...

Hi John, I know you have some info on your blog regards the area East of Esperance, but in general what do you consider was the best free camping area or caravan park etc please. I have been to Esperance on several occasions, but have never explored the eastern side further than Frenchman's Peak (anothe...

Quite a dull day after yesterdays sunshine so I walked around Greens Beach and found a walking track suggesting a round trip of 3 hours, perfect just what I was looking for. Greens Beach West Head Coastal Track. I set off around 9am and followed the well marked path which turned into a long loop around We...

Is anybody from the GN's down at the Illawarra Folk Festival? I am, if you want to meet and greet. I am camped in the middle of the field with the tents and have a grey Elite camper next to another identical grey Elite camper and I have a red Corolla. Sometimes there is a big black Hilux with Elite Products on...

Just realized that I have been in company of Grey Nomads from the forum continuously since the middle of October some 3 months. So much for solo travelling. Left Billeee & Jules at Bracknell and headed through Launceston and on the the East Tamar Highway wanting to drive up to Low Head and see Georg...

There is a listing in Camps6 #262 as a rest area but it used to be a really good overnight camp site. I have been told that the owner of Low Head caravan park has lobbied the council regarding the closure of this and several other free camps in the area, so Low Head is good park to avoid. The Batman Bridge join...

Mentioned in a previous post that the road between Gladstone & Monto had a sign about a very steep climb and saying that it was inadvisable for trucks buses caravans and trailers to take that road.

Wow those hills in Launceston!!!!! never seen a sign saying that there was a 22 degree hill ahead before driving through Launceston and being guided by the GPS. First gear and struggling round a left hand corner whilst watching for oncoming traffic was not much fun especially when the fuse blew and th...

Another short drive to Launceston's Cataract Gorge then on th St Leonard's Picnic Grounds for the night. We took the chair lift 457mtrs the central span of 308mtrs is believed to be the greatest single span of any chairlift in the world. The slow ascent and descent allows great photo opportunities, t...

Only 30kms to get to Scottsdale but took a detour to Ledgerwood to see the carvings. A row of memorial trees were planted to honour the fallen from the 1st world war but by the early 90s they were considered a hazard to pedestrians and vehicles and ordered to be cut down. After a huge uproar it was decided t...

Jules found out about it yesterday after talking to some locals visiting Lilydale. There is a dump point, free barbeque facilities and a toilet block. The camping is on...
