A few weeks ago I found myself motoring through outback Queensland and booked in at a park at Cunnamulla (nice park). From memory, the lady at the office said "that will be $30 per night - are there more than two people?" I told her there was just me and she said "then it's only $25". I had never thought a...

The other half wants a coffee machine for the van. Can anyone recommend a particular model? Preferably not a pod type as we like to brew to our own strengths as we do at home. Have been looking at a delonghi at HNs but the reviews weren't too good which is a pity as it wasn't much bigger than a pod machine. Ap...
