Who headed South before W.A.Cyclone hit yesterday ?
(Preview)
Just wondering who evacuated and headed South before the Cyclone hit the coast yesterday. Where were you ? and if you hit the road did you have a destination to go to, or just trusted to luck that you would find a spot in a park somewhere South out of harms way.

Coronavirus vaccination in Germany
(Preview)
My sister in-law has had her first injection in Germany. Firstly the bad. They live in a small region & had to drive to another town even though their town is larger and they are doing vaccines there as well, but because Germany has actual roads unlike Australia's goat tracks you can drive at 200+kp...

Like to photograph airplanes? WATCH OUT.
(Preview)
As an ex Commercial Pilot and keen aviation photographer I decided to drop onto Emerald airport and take some pics. Bad idea! Any parking to stop for a moment is non-existent. There was a small parking bay with a secure entry gate for services vehicles. I pulled into the said and started toward the s...

Always regarded Sydney's toll system as reasonable value for money, even when driving a heavy vehicle. However, now that the new compulsory tunnel is open, getting from one end to the other will cost $62. The alternative route well around Sydney is toll free, is almost exactly the same distance but w...

However, about this time each year, one goes clucky, stops laying and stays in the laying box most of the time. The other, sneaks in, lays its egg and gets out again. Does anyone know how to encourage a clucky chook to g...

When I am away I like to pack a good supply of canned goods. In particular, canned fish. Now, I am a keen "Australian Owned and made" supporter and when I can, I only buy those products.

SLAMMING DOORS

Do you slam your caravan door shut? Do you slam your car doors shut? If so, why? I can't understand why a lot of people slam doors shut? I just close gently and it still closes OK. While on noise. Do you have outside speakers? Do you watch TV outside with volume up loud? Do you think of others around you, no...
