With winter come the grey nomads to enjoy the sunshine of Northern Queensland. They seek out the free camp sites provided by councils for their use; set up their solar cells, portable clothes lines and Ozpigs; catch a few red claw to chuck on the barbie and Bob's your uncle.
Grey Nomad = baby boomers who arrive in their varied styles of campers
Ozpigs = little round portable stoves on legs.(See black one in the front of the tent)
Red Claw = fresh water prawns
