this forum will not die as long as travellers like us keep it going, if only one was to keep up an input and the forum survives, I am happy, going by the last assesment we have in excess of 300 people looking in to "the basil and dave show" never mind the solos section, if you find it boring and choose to knock and only place two listings in the last 2 months then that is your choice, as for being boring (1) nobody likes a boring knocker who just denounces everthing and contributes nothing (2) there are a lot of websites out there, why choose one that you dont like DUHHHHH! (3) why let a perfectly good site die just because of one whom, does not contribute, probably does not travel and also needs to get a life, I dont know you and you dont know me, however if we met at a camp site one arvo I am sure we would get on like a house on fire, if me and basil must keep the forum going then hey count me in, and my old mate bas, well I bet he aint going nowhere. lot of people here that I am proud to call freind, Oh and have you looked at the ammount of newbies lately, and also the lookers, boring, how does that song go "I dont think so" if you wish it to die then hey in your eyes it can, take it off your browser settings or favourite list and POOF it's gone, nobody forces you in here and we wouldnt keep you away from something important, pub perhaps, telly probably, me, the great outdoors always, travel, travel, and then travel the three important things in my life, after family, I never have understood "knockers" if you dont like the input, then input some of your own thoughts that is why (I think) we are here, you dont want to talk, hey, your choice, dont knock, try contributing, I await with baited breath other peoples thoughts 

I think this forum is very interesting and I really enjoy Basil and Davo's humorous, interesting and info-filled posts.  I think that as long as they are happy to keep writing - more power to them! 

I think we should be thankful to Basil and davefor passing on their years of experience to novices like myself.
One day I hope to be able to have their experiences to pass on.
Keep up the great work guys.

They say walking stops you from going senile and losing the plot ,so does engaging with others. even if only via cyber space.

Personally it makes very little difference who writes to the forum it all makes for gaining an alternative point of view and provides the traveler or intending traveler with a source of information not readily available from the glossy mags. There's not many places where you can jump on the net and ask questions or read first hand reports on a wide variety of subjects related to a nomadic lifestyle like ours

Keep writing Basil and Dave I'm hearing ya

Come on Basil, get back into it, it was only an opinion, don't be thin skinned like ya mate. Good luck and it was great to see the support and activity.

STAY Basil, or sit or whatever. Because of you and Dave I'm a reasonable contributor myself. Don't be a woos ! Stand up and fight ! Life would indeed be bland were it not for you guys!

I'm wounded, not by your comments, but the Crows lost and although at Hedland with not much choice of television I admit I watched it. Suspecting your a Power supporter it would account for your attitude to other's comments and the continual life story of your experiences. Sorry about this bit of sarcasm bit if you review my comments carefully I didn't resort to it until now. Don't spill your whiskey on the keyboard it could stifle your style. Bye, this is my last post for awhile as we have got quite alot to travel yet and see. It's beautiful country up here especially around Millstream and Karratha, but although Hedland was a shocker the caravan park here is nice. Back to Karratha soon and we are enjoying working in the park and dealing with the permanents and the tourists alike.
