During our trip we saw quite a few cookers made out of 9KG gas cylinders cut up, I believe they are called choofers. Does anyone have plans/design or pictures of one?

I just want to let you know about a phone conversation I had with a lovely man from Britz (Tourism Australia). The other day, a pair of backpackers drove away from their toilet roll from where they'd been urinating overnight (in a rest area with toilets of all places). So I decided to take photographic...

While checking as much info as possible I di...
