Learning to be grey nomads.

Caravanning for the newly initiated

Let the fun begin!

A comical look (and a not so comical look) at the do's and don'ts when you start on your caravanning journey.

We will be highlighting our trips and activities which will include bike-riding, food, camp cooking, country horse racing and very likely wineries. It will possibly include the occasional argument during set-up and pull-down. I will also include some tips and tricks (if I have any).

Why we started this adventure

I have always wanted to be a "Grey Nomad" when I grew up (and at my age, I am just about there).  I dabbled in it off and on for many years.  After living in Melbourne for over a decade I moved back to Bundaberg to start the next chapter of my life.  I had only been back in Bundaberg for a month when I was diagnosed with breast cancer so that put a bit of a spanner in the works.  Fortunately, I survived and am now ready to go off into the wild blue yonder and live my "Grey Nomad" life.
