Yes folks, it only happens at Greens Lake. Our own private Air Show on the lake Friday afternoon.

A fun time was had by all and the local constabu...

We are looking for somewhere to take our pooch to the beach in northern NSW for a week or so. He's never seen the beach/ocean and actually it has been some time since we've been to the seaside. Long strolls on the beach beckon. Thanks in advance for any recommendations for suitable van parks.

A clean-up at a resort in northern Western Australia has ended on a sour note when a baby grand piano was mistakenly turfed at a rubbish tip. Fortunately the historic Steinway & Sons piano previously owned by Lord Alistair McAlpine, an advisor to former British prime minister Margaret Thatcher...

Now I love Greens Lake but when a large group of friends arrive and set up next to you with two generators and the noisy end facing me going from 8.00am til 11.30pm ish, every day Greens is far from serenity. Bugga 'em. I know some of you would say to cut the power cords, put sugar in the tanks or just leave but...

Just got down to Perth and decided to check the price of Panadol Osteo tabs at Scarbourough Chemist, $10.95. Went around to Chemist Warehouse and got them for $4.95. Definitely better than Carnarvon's $7.95, it all seems to be a game for the Chemist's these days.
