(Preview)
I think I have worked out why so many Solos are saying they never meet up with anyone along the road. I have noticed a lot of Solos only ever post in the Solo Grey Nomads section. They never post in General Forum for instance. If they did there would be triple the amount of people knowing aboout them and thei...

Camped at the Stotts Island Nature Reserve Camps6 #1 NSW half way between Tweed Heads and Murwillumbah on the old highway. It was raining and the place was really wet with water over the road in huge puddles and the grassy walk to the amenities block was a muddy track. There is a footbridge over the river...
