Well I beat the water to foam with Bomber A's and soft plastics to no avail. A fairly local bloke, who knew the dam well arrived and as we chatted he said "if I get a Ba...

We were travelling north from our daughters, near Coffs, towards the Gold Coast and fortunately decided to take the Teven road to bypass Ballina as the traffic was very heavy. We stopped at Tintenbar for a pie and whilst eating it noticed a massive pall of smoke, obviously from an explosion. Attach...

Hello All A friend recently took his 2005 Toyota Prado in for a service and was informed they would need they car all day as there is a recall on the bullbar and the brackets need replacing.

I tend to agree with the sentiments of the editor re the proposed RV village in Maryborough Qld. It does appear to be a grab at the upper end of the RV market. What is actually needed is a place where the whole range of facilities are centralised in one spot.Ranging from repairs,installations,accessor...

Hi folks, We're new members looking at doing a nine month trip round Oz. We've heard that house insurance becomes invalid if you are away for more than three months at a time.

Hi Wonder if any of you have had this experience and what you would suggest for our future trips when we are not in parks but out free camping.

We ended up flying to Bris for Christmas, after my partner had a health hiccup, and while it was lovely to be with family, we are just SO glad to be home in warm dry sunny Canberra! My heart goes out to all those in Qld enduring such constant rain and flooding. Hope everybody is safe and well.

I was wondering if anyone has done the online will thing and if its really legal. It is fairly expensive to get a will and power of attorney done by a solicitor and on line there are a number of what appear to be reputable sights that do them for $25 each and I also noted that Slater & Gordon have a online...
