For me two places stand out ( more will come to mind, but I'm a senior so I am having a moment) 1 Mataranka, a stunning spot I thought, the springs are usually full of grey nomads immersed in the warm water, the meals at the resaurant were fantastic and the Van Park though a bit on the dusty side was very clean...

Telstra's reduced coverage
(Preview)
Just returned home from four months in the "bush" and I think it pertinent to comment on the seemingly reduced fringe coverage in country areas. I presume this is as a result of the cessation of G3 but do not know if this is so. I have a CelFi amplifier and have made comment elsewhere that we were previo...
