Want to discuss your paperclip collection or the price of tea in China? This is the spot to go ‘off topic’ and talk about anything not related to grey nomads and travelling around Australia.  Just one rule here (besides keeping posts friendly and respectful) – please no religion or politics.  Thanks all.

Ok, JRH hasn't responded, so look under W here;

Wombat letters mean;

Waste Of Money, Brains, And Time

If this is the off topic section, does it mean we will be discussing "off" topics often?

The interpretation of "wombat" is a bit harsh, but appropriate.
You have to admit Womby, sometimes you leave yourself wide open, and some of us deliver it by the bucket.
So if ever I was to venture back to the west would I be welcome in your burrow?

Hi all,,new to the site,,joined a few days ago but had some problems that I ironed out,thought I might introduce myself.

Just bought a nice 2004 Windsor Statesman,ready to travel the roads with my Partner and 2 toy poodles.in a couple of months time. Bit of a change from living on a Yacht(sold) at sea for some years.

Have been viewing posts now for months and find them very interesting,so keep up the good work and tips,

regards Tom

And yet, there is still a lot of garbage being posted in other areas that has nothing to do with camping/caravaning travelling etc .

 For heavens sake, please use this (off topic forum) to discuss your non    infomative banter so that those of you that have nothing to say can use this site and leave other areas free so those that have something to contribute can.furious

Dick.

It will never happen littledick. A lot of people don't like following rules.
