Just a thought, What about selling a car that is on the recall list. What are the legalities for both private and business sellers. To me it seems to be a legal minefield. What happens if you buy an unmodified car and the airbag goes off and kills you. Who is responsible? Manufacturer, seller?

We are considering purchasing a new "semi off road" caravan. I am seeking info on whether members consider a grey water tank essential. The van we are thinking of offers it as an option. I would greatly appreciate some feedback please. Cheers David.

Some are automatic but I guess no low ratio which we use rarely So the question is fuel consumption and suitability for towing. our van is a lightweight fully loaded 1500kg so no issue there, ball we...

I see folks wandering around looking for something to do when camped at the Anglers Rest campground, often just walking along the road. Here's two great hikes: Tombstone Overlook is 20 min each way to an awesome overlook, or an hour loop. Mt. Ned is about an hour and a quarter uphill to the summit, then s...
