Was thinking of buying a curtain, shortening the length and using the bottom...

The Gibb River Road is rated 2WD, yet it can be rough and the water crossings vary in depth and difficult...

Travelling the Oodnadatta Track a few weeks ago we got a puncture. Nothing unusual in that you might say. Fair enough, but, I had the devil of a time jacking the car at the recommended jacking point. It has been suggested to me that I might get an exhaust jack. Does anyone have any experience with one of th...

Coming down a hill in a two lane road today I saw a camera flash from the rear of a van facing me on a road verge. I was within the speed limit but a car overtaking me in the other lane must have been speeding. Previously speed camera's have been on the ground with the operator in a nearby vehicle, however ma...
