Well it looks as if we are here a little longer. Took the 4 x drive in for its 80k service last Monday and found the front wheel bearings are chewing out the stubb axel. The parts have to come from Adelaide. So they have lent us a car until the 4x4 is ready. Repco has been really good to us and would recomm...

Considerably cheaper than the 2 other main contenders. Has anyone been there with these. I am looking for som...

Hi all This Thursday is ANZAC Day as I am sure everyone is aware. On this sacred day I invite everyone to stop for a minute and give thanks to every person who has ever served our Country. If it wasn't for these brave souls we may not enjoy the freedom of travelling around as we do. If you're near an RSL, maybe...

Travelling to WA soon, thought about the ferry, might save a bit of time. South Australia, Wallaroo to Cowell ferry approx a 1 hour trip, for the Kea and 2 adults about $270, then have to drive another 100k to link up with the Eyre highway at Kimba. It's only 400k around there by road, less than a tank of d...

Well now, it has been a while since I've been in here, but life has a habit of happening.

So now, the Dream Pot has moved over, and the Thermomix has entered my life. It's not portable like the Dream Pot, and it hasn't arrived yet, but I was wondering if anyone else has one or is about to get one? Comments a...
