Seeing that Basil is getting into the ultra lights - it reminded me of something I have been meaning to ask. We have decided that once we start the big trek, the one added thing we would like is a kayak. Not knowing anything about them or where the best places to access them any advise would be much apprecia...

Does anyone know who may be a supplier of a low cost 12 volt motion detector to set off a security light system in an annex. I think I need a combined device that detects both heat and movement to avoid those false alarms when it's only the annex moving in the wind. Most of what I can find so far are 240...

Especially if you are trying to stay bush, or in National Parks as much as possible? Thanks for a great site, I will be making the mos...

Hi all, I'm dipping my toe into 4WDriving to access some of the more remote parts of our great land and have been pondering the need/lack of need to get an offroad camper trailer. CTs are surprisingly expensive. Is there any great advantage of a CT against a good tent? After all, I don't have to tow a tent...
