I've never seen a dump point as good as this one. It was a little brick building with the lidded dump inside, very discreet, and undercover. It was as clean as a dump point could be, and even had a sink if one needed it.

Ok I'm a virgin grey nomad with a silly question! If I buy a NON Offroad camper trailer, lets say a jayco, can I still tow it with say a Toyota Hi-lux 4x4 or Holden Rodeo 4x4. I don't really need offroad capability as I'm sticking to the bitumen for the forseeable future. cheers Hats Lewis

Could anyone recommend a van park around the Glen Chromie area. Of course we have left it too late to get into the local van park for the Cup Weekend but would like to get away anyway. Thank you

We recently visited the gold fields west of mareeba and stopped in at a little bakery in DIMBULAH which has some of the best cakes, sweets and coffee ever tasted by man! The pies are probably the best I've ever eaten and the owner always leaves you with a smile. Definately worth the stop!!!!

My Wife and I have made the decision to commence a Grey Nomadic lifestyle, we thought we might pursue the purchase of a 21-23 foot van with sep ensuite, It may sound simplistic and probably a silly question, but does anyone have any thoughts on the best van and vehicle to purchase. Off roading would be un...

Then use the Gatton-Clifton Road 44 kms south of Toowoomba. It's generally a good road, nice scenic drive, and there's a free camp at Heifer Creek. #615 in Camps 6.

Just a post to let you know of a good honest mechanic if you are looking for one in the Mareeba, Qld area. His name is Sam Musumeci and his number is 07 4092 6085 or 0410328930. He did a job on our cruiser and he did an excellent job. Would recommend him any day. His workshop tidiness is the give away. Brian
