Has any one recieved a notification by text from Telstra with respect to opening a Direct Debit for monthly accounts? Is this another option to our long term invoice plan which is paid at the local Post Office? Have fun Haji-Baba

Hi there, We will be buying a Sat phone in the near future for outback and big lapping adventures. We've done research and leaning towards Thuraya XT Lite. Anyone out there have one ? Your comments appreciated. Thankyou.

Hi all, looking for some type of easy to use template for my laptop, to keep track of where I've been and how much I'm spending per week/month/year so I can easily keep an eye on my budget. All ideas most welcome, stay safe out there. ps my web search so far has only turned up holidays with airfares etc.

Once again it is time to repack the 4 wheel bearings applicable to our rig. We have a semi off-road van which therefore has large heavy wheels/ tyres. Whilst the job is not that difficult, however for me replacing the wheels back on the hub is rather a strenuous work- out. When I have removed the inner sea...

Would appreciate fellow nomads' opinions on whether to risk travelling to QLD this winter. We're planning to visit the coast as far as Cairns. No-one has a crystal Covid ball, but what are your thoughts on this?
