Gday... I decided I would put this in here rather than Techie's Corner as it may get more exposure to forum members/visitors.

Another thread prompted this. I was thinking as a young fella growing up in the Bush, how many different fuel brands that were there. In my town we had BP, Shell, Caltex, Neptune, Ampol, Amaco, Mobil, Golden Fleece and an old mechanics workshop still had Texaco signs from days gone by. What did your tow...

Due to a new interest we now often find ourselves in areas that do not see traffic very often, this may be driving to a remote location, or on foot in the bush. I have recently been considering what either of us would do in the case of an accident, or medical emergency, or if we just plain got lost. This start...

Yes great to see so many Grey Nomad on the forum tonight. This site is worth it weight in Gold. We have learned a huge amount of info from the G.N forum. I dare say that perhaps I may have been able to help others as well. Thanks to everyone. Jay&Dee

I had a look at two Avan Ovation motorhomes today, here in Rockhampton. They had an Ovation M3 and an Ovation M7 available for viewing. The M3 is smaller than what I am looking for, but the M7 was about right - size-wise. The one I looked at had a slide-out for the queen bed. I would very much appreciate a...

The one on the van stretched so much in the recent storm it is no longer serviceable. Only had it replaced a little over 12 months ago. I wonder if a stretched awning is covered b...
