Hello. Just wondering if the C612 (Bonang Road) is suitable for towing caravans. My partner is experienced with mountain towing (Brown, Talbingo, Hotham, Sue City), but this sounds like it might be longer, steeper, windier?

Hi we have a starcraft caravan and the light over the bed is flashing so needs replacing with an LED globe. The glass tube around the light does not move so cannot get at the led. Could anyone who has had this problem contact me with the answer,

Any wonder that as a country we are struggling to keep our infrastructure up with the demand placed on it from population growth. I am not sure if this includes the net gain regarding births and deaths. I could go on and on regarding why we have issues with vehicles, roads, housing, jobs etc etc, but I t...

My Satlink WS-6909 works well and I use the info button to get the best signal. I'm on the optus satellite. The TV station has suddenly stopped showing up on the unit.
