I am currently staying a small town of Harrow in Victoria. $8 per night includes free showers, washing machine, bbq. Lovely walking trails and lots of history, some good and not so good! Glenelg River has lots of variety of fish and the Kookaburras singing first thing in the morning - bliss. Helen ...

Hi there, I live in Torquay and know a few great little places to camp over night down this way, so if there is anyone who has a van who would like to meet up ...then it would be great to share the experience. Cheers Tazzz

Hi all, It's been a while since anyone posted on the solos forum so I thought I'd update the solo travelling public about how Plodnalong is getting on. I last started a thread in Kalbarri in WA after a gentle drive from my last place of work (yes, some grey nomads still have to do that) in Cobram in Victoria...

Have now for the first time crossed the Nullabour. Had a slow leak on one caravan tyre due to some object damaging the wall of the tyre. Generally speaking it has been great. Rain has always been in front of me. Puddles on the side of the road. Ellison next stop. Traffic all seems to be heading west. Great f...

Hey fellow nomads. Just about finished sorting gear, then on the road fulltime. Weapon of choice is a 2016 D-max and Goldstream RV. A farmstay near Echuca is the first destination, then possibly on to Greens Lake. Looking forward to seeing you out there.

G'day folks. Well I am just a couple of days from heading back across the Nullarbor again on what must be now about my 40th crossing since I first took on that 1,000 MILES of dirt track in the winter of 1964, aged 21, in my then new 1964 VW beetle. Sadly it's been 18 years since I last drove across but that ano...

Is it common to have to pay for the 1st service of a new van? Going on new cars where the first 1000 km service is free! Just wondering if that applies to vans or am I about to be ripped off?

I am a newby to the forum but have 15 years experience travelling the 'best' roads Australia has to offer (Tanami Track, Plenty Hwy, Hahn Hwy, The Binns Track, the Urandangi Road to Tobermorey etc.) to the most remarkable of destinations. The one state that has escaped my detailed 'inspection' is...

Hi everyone. If you come across a guy called Bill with a big red Dane x puppy could you ask him to PM me? He was heading to Boulia camel races. We were hoping to catch up at Surat again but I've moved on. My name is Gail. Thanks so much.

hi all. I've done a few trips, and I am hoping to do 4-5 weeks in August/September. Going to leave Brisbane and head west to have a look. Why. Just because. Just planning at the moment, but hope to take in white cliffs, Cameron's corner, innamincka, S.A., etc, finishing up at the Birdsville races at t...

I would like anyone to tell the names and where the best little ghost towns are and what sort of unusual things they found there, or any old cemeteries they have come across. Thanks Helen
