Yep, shock horror I here some say. Big deal from others. I am set up in a caravan park at Urangan, Hervey Bay if anyone is around. I am here for reasons you will read in my next update. I have had miserable weather all the way from St Lawrence where I spent last night.

There is always some one out there waiting to bugger up your day eh!!!! Camping at Lake Elphinstone, nice spot as I have already said. But the weather is drizzle and overcast, hence no sun for the solar, so we had to have our gennie going, it is a Honda E20 which is relately quite. Seeing as it is so quiet we f...

We have been looking at retirement villages in the past year and have seen some lovely ones and some not so appealing.

I'm wanting to buy a windscreen for my Iveco MH. I went to Autobarn today but they only have small ones for cars. The type I want, and have seen on other MHs, covers the front windscreen and both passenger and driver's side windows. Any ideas where I might buy one ? Probably an online store would be more co...
