Welcome Shazza, this is a great forum and the more I read the more I want to pack up and go! We plan to do our grey nomads thing next year, but this time with a bit of comfort, we did the whole thing in our 20's in a small car this time we will have a van.
As for the Banana Boat song going around your head, how do you think we feel, we (I say 'we' it's actually he)! composed this song yesderday in readiness for the big 1000, so all day yesterday, all night and this morning one of us has suddenly burst into song with "Davo's the gun on vans and motor homes" to that damn tune !!! arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggghhhhhhh

yep dead right, Dave I do owe it all to you, oh and a couple others, as I have stated in the past in one of my many rantings this is the only forum that I belong to, the others havent the same feel, I looked at a couple and thought "nup, not for this little black duck"
as for sue and brian I am (as you may have noticed) very deeply touched and honored indeed, as previously stated, very clever, now please go and get a hobby!!
as for you ibbo the place is full of nice people thats why I'm still here, count you as one of them

thanks bob! just planning our next one, I was thinking of taking our magna across to Tassie for a couple of weeks until I found out the price of accomadation, I'm not paying $150 - $200 a night just for a bed, I think we will take little blue over in early february, that way we save about $1,800, we can afford to go to the pub on that for a couple of meals
Basil Faulty said

Accomodation on the Appel Isle is always expensive, I think it's geared to the "fly - drive" crowd.... I'm thinking of taking the new Black Beauty and the Gin palace over on the steamer while sybil flys as she does not like "boats"... HO BOY just what I want a Day at sea, I could ponce around doing a horn pipe for a day
