Australia: Our Country - A poem
(Preview)
When the shearing sheds are silent and the stock camps fallen quiet, When the gidgee coals no longer glow across the outback night. And the bush is forced to hang a sign, 'gone broke and won't be back'. And spirits fear to find a way beyond the beaten track. When harvesters stand derelict upon the wind sw...

Who has upset Dazren :) He is AWOL. Maybe he fell down wombats hole in his back yard. I haven't seen him around for a while. Not like him at all to be quiet. He is usually adding confusion to the mix on a more than regular basis. Some say too much but not me, no way.

Someone posted this phrase in another topic, so I thought I would steal it and open up a topic for general discussion  How good was getting up to change channels on the TV for instance ? I'm sure everyone can add their experiences both pro and con to this topic ?

G'day everyone I am one happy caravanner. I watched Fred on Aurora channel last wednesday night and loved it.

Recollections

Hello All, I was reflecting the other day on a couple of events in my dim past.

History of Paper Tissues and Toilet Paper

In my way of thinking, the invention of paper tissues with it's many uses is one of the greatest inventions ever. Interesting that the Japanese had been using similar tissue for centuries beforehand, also that the US Kleenex tissue was an offshoot from Kotex products. See these links on tissues; htt...

Thought I'd start a thread for correcting common mistakes... like calling a median strip a "medium" strip. Median = middle. A median strip is the raised divider that runs down the middle of a road. Nothing to do with "medium". Another one is using "of" instead of &qu...

Lots of art galleries and antique shops (which are on my list for today). For anyone a bit unsure of pulling a van into the area- the Great Western Hwy is really an easy...
