Husband and wife team who came to the park we were in, fixed the problem, made up a new tv aerial as well and charged only $200. Very happy with their service and knowledge. Would highly recommend...

Has anyone experienced the wallpapering job, how did you prepare the walls. Your advise would be very much appreciated thanks....

Does anyone know the distance from Cue to Wagal Rock as I will just make it a full day trip from Cue. Would appreciate any other areas/places to see along the Great Northern Highway....

Just a simple and cheap fire lighter if you are in need of them. Home brand cotton balls about $2 for 200, home brand petroleum jelly for a couple of dollars also, which will last forever. Smear some petroleum jelly on the cotton ball, the more you put on the longer it will burn and just use as a fire starter...
