Just thinking longer term and was wondering about the general level of fitness and or flexibility required for all things associated with towing a caravan post retirement age (65), assuming a leisurely pace rather than a marathon race. I would be interested in feedback from experienced caravann...

I am a "young" 85-year-old and still trying to remember how I used to hit a golf ball a long way. Yesterday at my home club, I had a bad day score-wise. After 4 holes of play, I decided to pull out of the round. Reason, I was 12 over the course par after 4 holes. My handicap is 34. It should be LIV ( Roman for 54)...

Regional Queenslanders say electric vehicles worth it for fuel savings but challenges remain: He paid $72,000 for his EV and has driven 70,000 kilometres in the 18 months he's owned it. "If I'd done that same 70,000 kilometres in our old LandCruiser that would have been about an extra $35,000 just i...

Thanks for accepting us. We've just spent the last 14 years cruising on our 52 foot sailboat, but have decided to swallow the anchor and go land cruising. We intend do station work as we go as we have a farming background. Looking forward to inland travelling on some of the tracks. Just bought a Great Aus...

Howdy, I have been looking for a box to hold my air compressor (for 4wd) with little success. I have searched in tool boxes, ammo boxes and battery boxes and cannot find the size I want, or need. Anyone have any ideas? The size of the compressor is 370 long x 150 wide x 230 high. These measurements are "tig...

Cold here in Port Pirie, but cold and dark is worse. LED roof lights have gone inside on my 2015 Jayco Swift van and I've checked the fuses. Online I can see that some Jayco fans have a kill switch on pop ups that sometimes sticks and this could be the problem but I can't see any on my van. Any electrical wizar...
