Took delivery of my Birdsville 2 years ago and hung the spare keys in the cupboard. Had cause to move them a couple of days ago and for ease went to use then to open the storage locker.

Buying Chem toilet chemical can work out quite expensive when you are on a long trip away. We normally have to empty every three days, & using that blue chem in the plastic bottle is about $20 or more per bottle. A good substitute that works just as well & lasts much longer is Vanish NapiSan. It is...

No, not that sort of weed Seems it grows around the Murray River and the aborigines use it to make a balm which is wonderful in the treatment of psoriasis. Where can I get some? Has anyone used it?

If this has been suggested before, please don't read it. We don't need too much duplication. I've heard talk of owners efforts to stop the Winegard wandering across the roof of the van during travel. I checked mine and sure enough, the little foot on the antenna had scribed an arc about 100mm or so lon...
