First time I was so mad I told him where to go, and hung up. Second time around, [same guy] I told him I was in the m...

I do love a stoush! About 10 days ago, a certain Perth dealer advertised a 2008 Ford Ranger automatic with canopy, 72,000-odd kms for $23,990. This is the vehicle I have been been looking for and it ticked all the right boxes. I thought this was a very good deal and got in touch with them, keen to buy. Oh...

This morning (Sunday) I heard from a bloke who overheard another fella telling somebody else that he heard on good authority that it was -8 at Wondeccla at 0500hrs this morning.

We are heading into Kakadu in a few days and If you don't mind I would like to pick your brains. We are looking for a nice camping area within the park to take out caravan (which is definately not an off-road one) The sites on the net that I looked at don't mention if camp sites are accessible by caravan.
