Today I gave myself and the passenger, and of course the other driver a nasty fright. Driving in Mildura, we had earlier commented on how the town roads have a sort of "backing out" lane added. But later on driving around and looking for some place, the GPS not knowing where to go etc. general confusion,...

Hello fellow ute owners, We have bitten the bullet & are in the process of buying an Isuzu D-Max. I'm curious to hear from you about the drawer systems you may have in your cars to store otherwise loose items eg fluids, tools, recovery equipment, etc. In our Patrol, I had a couple of boxes with my esse...

Two weeks ago in the lower Blue Mountains we had a small bushfire and also near Lidsdale where we had a 360 ha wild fire we now have glorious rain right across the mountains and at Katoomba a good dump of snow. I hope that the fires in northern NSW & QLD get some of this rain in the near future. We are cu...

Hi all we just bought a second hand Jayco Camper and took the covers off (no idea if they are the originals) to wash them and there is a thin plastic layer between the covers and the cushions which also came off and is too thin to get back on. Is there any purpose for it and if so where can I find replacements? W...

Hi All. I am curious on what and/or how people store/pack emergency foods, and what sort of quantity. ie; dried veggies, cans of baked beans or spaghetti.

Can anyone who has travelled across the Nullarbor recently confirm whether 'plastic' is available across the Eyre Highway? We last travelled that way some 17-years ago. That time I was still working with restricted leave so with three drivers we did the trip in two days and nights. We paid cash all th...

Just interested to hear from those that have a UHF, what brand it is and why you chose it. We have two Oricom handhelds which we chose because of the deal on offer and theyve been great and we have a car mounted Uniden which we chose because just about everyone we knew had Uniden and its been excellent.

A bit of drama for me, today. The van somehow parted company with the Commodore and slid up an embankment into a wire fence. The hitch had been in the locked position on the towball. It was checked before leaving the campsite at Narrandera and again 5 mins later at the service station, so no idea how it cam...
