After a long battle with cancer my soulmate and best friend died last month. I have now become a member of the solo crew.

As the bus stopped and it was her turn to get on, she became aware that her skirt was too tight to allow her leg to come up to the height of the first step of the bus. Slightly embarrassed and wit...

Just to complete the usual courtesies, we are a couple of 50-somethings who are planning (very) early retirement. Currently based in NSW, we've had a fair bit of experience with a Jayco Hawk and now plan to move on to something bigger and better as a semi-permanent home. Our odd working arrangements m...

Finally finished updating the new 2nd hand caravan thought I would share.Taken it on a trip from Coffs via Mungo Brush at Myall Lakes, through the coast to Melbourne and back up through Freeway.
