Stopped at Tullamore show grounds NSW last night just before a thunderstorm. Only one here but no trees and high and 'dry' site with power and water. Amenities ok but no light in there this morning and since they are one of the rare places with no gaps for bugs to get in I found them a bit dark! Was going nor...

The new 150AH batteries would have coped but I didnt w...

I posted a message to "correspond" with single GNs, not to 'hook up', not looking for a 'soul mate' and it degenerated into a totally different conversation. please keep your antideluvian comments to yourself/selves.

I have a new triton and have been considering buying a good nudge bar. I have been told by a couple of installers that they are a waste of time to protect the front end of the car from roo damage. Has anyone had an encounter with a roo and felt the nudge bar did offer some protection to the radiator. cheers

I wasn't a bit worried when the cows walked by but got concerned when they browsed up to the awning. I was very concerned when they started to use the awning ropes to brush flies from their face. One more adventurous beast got her head between the the double ropes and backed away when I got close enough t...

I know nothing about outboard motors and boats generally so it came as a huge surprise when Darrell over reached the float to bring in the opera net and fell into the dam. Luckily the boat went straight in to a tree and I grabbed the tree in a big hug and wouldn't let go, the outboard was still running and I di...
