He tells the clerk to wait, and then disappears into the lobby. After a minute he comes back, with the girl on his a...

Hi all New to the forum but I've been looking at the site for a couple of months now. We have just sold our house and have put down deposits on a new 4x and a caravan. The house settles the same time as the purchases are finalised and we've got precious little time to get organised. Probably says a lot abou...

Hi, I have been looking at this site for awhile. I retired a few years ago, been traveling all my life, mostly overseas. I have finally come to the end of that, everywhere becomes the same after a while. Except now I just want to get into the outback part of Oz and enjoy nature and all it offers. I will be arri...

I'm a 79 year old male planning a long trip with my small dog into and around Aus for next year... and I'd like to meet a solo female who doesn't really want to be a solo to join me as a travelling companion. Currently I'm living on the NSW Central Coast but I'm planning on selling around September and moving...

G'day folks a timely reminder to exercise care. A week last Saturday I tripped on the steps out front and went into the concrete driveway head first. The result was three cracked ribs, a broken nose, a torn rotator cuff in the right shoulder and multiple abrasions on my arms. I do not post this to elicit s...

Guess who had too much time on their hands this morning I really do realise that this exercise will draw derision from some ... but it really is just the figures provided by the manufacturers. I have attempted to make the comparison a little more representative of what one would expect people...

At home I store new dry cell batteries loose in a plastic lidless container and inside a cupboard. I've done this for years and never had a problem except for the last few months when I've noticed a powdery deposit similar to a leaky battery (but dry) on some battery ends and on the outside of batteries - n...

Gday... Yeah ... I know I know ... only a fool would put this up. Feel free to shoot the messenger - I can take it Patrol Y62 Discovery 4 I guess I could go on ... I doubt any of the "popular" Strayan tow vehicles would fare any better from this exercise. When .... not...

I have tried to get it out of its enclosure but I can see that the legs at the bottom are screwed down to the shelf it sits on. Directly below the oven is the fridge and from what I can see I wou...
