Busted a screen today so made the inquires of my insurer GIO, it appears that there's an option for $20 per year that will allow one free replacement and not effect your No Claim Bonus.

I see on the news that the country is now in the grip of the 'R' word. I agree with the experts - with one big difference! In their eyes 'R' is for 'recession' but for me it is for 'RETIREMENT'!!!!!!!! As from last Friday I am now officially a nothing in official eyes but watch out for us on the road. We are boo...

Central Highlands and Gemfields. Emerald, Rubyvale, Sapphire, Anakie and The Willows Reward, Middle Ridge, Glenalva, Big Bessie, Graves Hill and Tomahawk Creek are just a few of the signposts to direct you as you discover this part of Queensland.

Ok calm down.... But yes an ultralight is one thing I'd love to own.

One thing would be for certain, i...

I am surprised at the lack of posts re the article on the Gray Nomad Home Page re the rather scary reaction to a proposal to build a smallish motorhome/caravan park in a spot called Plainlands, in Qld. The business proposal included a on site caretaker to oversee things. Locals seemed to be totally u...
