The tube is to mend tiny stone-chips in the windscreen. Costs around $70. if you get some-one else to fix it, and they use exactly the same thing. I know, 'cause I've had it done once, and seen how it's done. Carry my own now. Costs $19.99. The Bagholder is self-explanatary. Handy little thing. ...

Love my Op-shops. Friend asked me on Wed. to keep an eye out for extra trays for an Ezi-dry Dehydrator. Checked on the net, and they are $19.95 each to buy spares. Had her a full Ezi-dry Dehydrator [4 tray] for $10.00 [New price for that size over $300.00.] by 9.30 next morning. Couple of hours late...

Just back from the cruise and want to say what a great time we had. Really good holiday for us girls, no cooking cleaning just all good times. Ship had entertainment every day and night, something to suit most people. Tours onshore were great or you could choose to do whatever you wanted on your own. Ther...

Geeze what happened before. I was in the middle of posting, and the site went down. Kept getting told to try again in 2 minutes, gave up and went to bed for a while. I really hate it when that happens. Cheers, Sheba.

Couple of USAF tankers (Yank Tanks?) at Cairns Airport yesterday. Here for a tech stop. Couldn't see what model aircraft they were as the septics had painted over everything.

I saw a Grey Nomads Sticker on the back of a home made slide on camper on a Toyota ute. There was a sign, hand painted on the back among a few other stickers, from far and wide, that said "Bill's bait box". Anyone know who this character is? ROTFLMAO

I'll finally be able to travel longer and more often in my little poptop - Driftaway Little Robin Mini . Looking at it with fresh eyes, as its over 10 years old now, it's starting to look a little scruffy. I'm going to hopefully get a decent rear door fitted with security screen as well. Could I please h...

For those of you with a tent, and those who can remember... We have found that when sleeping on the blow-up mattress all our body heat seems to go into the ground underneath it, and we are cold even on a warm night. Have tried putting a rug under it which improved it a little. We used to have one of those self-...
