Gday all, Just a heads up for anyone driving in the Shark Bay Area. Diesel fuel yesterday (wed) in Denham was 8 cents per litre cheaper than at the Overland roadhouse out on the highway so if going into Denham or Monkey Mia it may be worth waiting till you get into town.

If you are not sure whether or not you want to visit the Kimberley, have a look at the ABC's "Mystery Road". I saw it on Iview. It's filmed in the Kimberley and in my opinion the Kimberley is the star of the show and not the human actors or the camera operator/s. Human stars include Aaron Pederson, Judy Davi...

We have a caravan which is now a little over 4 years old. As standard equipment an Aquaport (under bench top) two stage filter was fitted to the drinking water outlet. It appears as though the Aquaport AQP-RFL-C filter system is now obsolete. Does anybody know if and where these filters (1 a sediment f...

Gday...

I have read that there are composting toilets (still need to be emptied every 4-6 weeks) and ones that use fire to burn off the waste. Just wondering if anybody has retrofitted either of these units to their van or RV and 1. was it difficult to do? 2. Is it worth the cost? and 3. Any pitfalls (ha ha) or proble...

Whatever you do dont break the mounting cradle for your navigator if youre a Hema HN6 owner. Hema have no stock and, because this is a discontinued model, they will no longer supply this part. Pretty incredible for mine, considering the original purchase cost, that after just 5 years they wont supply...

Now, you guys probably knew all this stuff before but it's new to me so I thought I'd post it to the "General" rather than the "Solar" forum because that's intended to be more technical whereas I think this calculator may appeal to the less technical. It won't be 100% accurate but I think, from personal o...
