My partner however has a real fear and no matter what I say will not be reassured. How often have you had a close encounter, and what is the best way of dealing with them (...

I would by pass a town if !!!!
(Preview)
Often people on this forum give reasons why they will not stop in a particular town, usually it is because the town does not offer free camping etc. I was just wondering about this after I read an article about Cardwell in FNQ. They have banned Christmas lights in the town because it offends 100 members o...

Batemans Bay Lunch
(Preview)
I had the pleasure of having a long lunch today with Sarg and Capricorn & Pices at the Batemans Bay Club. A few hours just slipped by, with good company and lots of conversation. Only a small gathering but we talked enough for twice the number that were at the table. Until next time, cheers...........

Update on motorhome crash
(Preview)
Hello all . Have just received our local paper. In it was a report about the Motorhome crash I posted on Sunday 9th Dec. Unfortunately the 81 yr old driver from NSW passed away from his injuries. He was the sole occupant of the vehicle. The accident happened about 7.15am. So sad :(

gas tank changeover
(Preview)
Phew - at last the job is done. Today the large gas tank was taken out of the motorhome & a smaller one installed complete with the necessary compliance plate. Now maybe Keith can relax a bit even if the job has left us a bit poorer. Oh well money isn't everything.
