Read this on another forum - thought it was a great idea. This person uses one of those stainless steel tangled wire scrubbers, plugged in the sink hole the water still escapes, but all the little bits that invariably end up in the sink - yes I know, rinse them off first - where? In the sink? I thought it wa...

On our second day coming down from Townsville to Toowoomba, we asked at the Roma Information Centre about stops from there to Miles. I was told of a free camp 20mins down the road & a hotel caravan park at Yuleba (pronounced Yool-ba). It was cheap ($15 a night on power), the limited facilities were b...

Funny how we find really good caravan parks when it is unexpected. Funny too how in some of the larger centres the van parks leave a lot to be desired. Stayed at Capella Van Park (Queensland, in case there is another Capella). The welcome and service from the people running it was spot on. The amenities w...

I've always considered the charge for refilling a 8.5KG gas cylinder to be a bit extreme considering the cost per litre for cars on LPG - I figured if 8.5KG of LPG in the cylinder cost $20 how come I can buy about 25 litres of gas for a LPG car for the same price. My thinking was based on my mistaken belief tha...

Hi, Anyone travelling along the New England Hwy, in SE Qld, refills of 4.5 (3.8) kg gas bottles for $12 and 9kg for $20 at the Camping shop in Railway Street at Stanthorpe. And it's directly across the road from the laundromat, parking out the back. J

At a Senior Citizen's luncheon, an elderly gentleman and an elderly lady struck up a conversation and discovered that they both loved to fish. Since both of them were widowed, they decided to go fishing together the next day. The gentleman picked the lady up, and they headed to the river to his fishing...

A man in Sydney calls his son in Perth the day before Christmas and says,I hate to ruin your day, but I have to tell you that your mother and I are divorcing; forty-five years of misery is enough. Pop, what are you talking about? the son screams. We cant stand the sight of each other any longer, the father sa...

Four friends spend weeks planning the perfect desert camping and riding trip. Two days before the group is to leave Rob's wife puts her foot down and tells him he isn't going. Rob's friends are very upset that he can't go, but what can they do. Two days later the three get to the camping site only to find Ro...

Had a problem installing the fuel tank, no rear bumper, didn't want to install it on the front "A" frame, Hey Jim suggested putting it in the boot like he did, however I didn't like the idea of filling the tank in the boot. I over come this by mounting the tank on draw runners, now I can pull it out to fill, pus...

There a two types of 2-stroke oil. One for chainsaws, mowers, stationary engines (often called "greenkeepers" 2-stroke oil), and another for motorcycles (2T). I gather that you cannot use greenkeepers as 2T but can you use 2T in a chainsaw?

Has anyone noticed that when you send a query to a company, it appears to be handled by a company called Zendesk? No responses from Zendesk have made any sense to me. Then I looked them up. One response was "No response to emails except canned response that are not relevant." Which is exactly what I th...
