I've just switched my phone to a Woolworth plan simply because they are offering a 10% discount on shopping once a month. I have been a Woolworth shopper for years and prefer them to Coles and they are generally one hell of a lot cheaper than IGAs; I spend around $400 to $500 per month on food (I eat well :) )...

Over the last few years there is clearly a trend to have so called "off road" suspension. They are everything you dont want on any sort of trailer if you want the safest.

As my ideas of servicing the fridge and installing a load slide and hard cover have all hit the fence with an almighty bang I am now turning my mind to a radio. I don...

We are currently on a farm sit and it is very run down and overgrown, while we are only meant to feed dogs, chooks and check cattle, I feel that the owner needs some help but he considers all is OK. Should I do some tidy up to et the owner see what a change can do.

I am interested in comments from anyone who has purchased and uses the NCE 12 volt oscillating fan. Yeah, it is expensive and there a lots of alternatives, but I would like some user comments. From the specs, it seems to be about as energy efficient as the Sirocco fan. It lacks a delayed turn off setting,...

Just got back from being away for a month, and just for the hell of it we decided to note down every brand of caravan we seen. So far 78 brands seen, not models, just brands, which sure indicates the Caravan industry is booming in Australia.
