Should I trade up?
(Preview)

I was thinking o...

We are a new family with a 2 year old thinking the smartest way to upsize our modest house at Manly West, QLD, would be to ask retirees if they want t...

I always used to be already signed in when going to the forum (chosen via Favourites, not the link on the home page) but lately I have to sign in each time. Has something changed in the forum settings or is it my pc doing mysterious things?

Bottle gas Refill v Swap
(

(Preview)
I'm only new on the forum, so be gentle with me. We have been on the road now since Dec 09. One of my main gripes is the cost of gas bottles. Here we are in Margaret River(or as the locals call it Markup River, sorry) and needed to refill one of our 9kg bottles. I am not a fan of the swap system, as I know the con...

On The Road Again

At last! At long last!
I'm doing the miles again. Yesterday I pulled out of Cairns after 2.25 years, 2 operations, and my health restored.
What was planned to be a 2 week stay was ever so slightly extended by a very dedicated doctor and her associated specialists. For that I'm forever grateful.
