We will be traveling with another couple and are looking forward to the big adventure. We plan to be away for about 11 months. Starting in Brisbane and heading to Rutherglen for t...

A photographer working in one of Western Australia's most remote communities has captured the stunning change to the desert landscape brought about by summer rain. While the 240mm of rain over December and January has made transport and resupply tricky for residents of Warburton and surrounding...

A fire at the Chatswood exchange has affected mobile services Australia wide. First hand experience, my wife tried to call me from Adelaide, nothing doing, had to relay a message via the old fashioned landline. Please note, below is a link to a story about a fire in the Telstra Chatswood exchange, tha...

Was in the bulk warehouse yesterday and wandered past the fire alarms, as the van needed a new one I started to have a look. Wanted something which was not bulky and photo elec one caught my eye as it had a 10 year lithium battery sealed inside. installed it in the van and certainly is not very big. Took a com...

Just received a NBN connection kit through the mail from Telstra, wondering if others have set up their broadband connection using this kit and what was the experience like?

Hello all, can someone tell me what the name of the business is that collects your mail and forwards it on. Peter

I am told that my property in northern NSW will shortly be eligible for connection to the National Broadband Network via "Fixed wireless". What does this mean? Will the "fixed wireless" also carry my telephone service? What manner of equipment will I need to operate this system? Will this render the...

Well, here goes... Newbie here. Finances are tight, and finite. So, after thinking, and thinking and thinking I'm planning to go 'permanently' solo with my two young pooches in/around SW Western Australia to start with. My immediate 'plan' is: to find a secondhand van, go for short/local tr...

That will not be a problem for those with unlimited internet time, but for those who have limit...

Thought this link worth posting, there certainly are plenty of sharpies around who can spot a mug a mile away, as much as you may want to believe your new found friend is fair dinkum chances are he/she has an ulterior motive, take care. "There's a certain group of travellers who are very easy to take adva...

We are in Ballina, wanting to head to Glen Innes, Tamworth on way south, towing 22ft caravan. Don't mind travelling south on Pacific Highway to cross over to New England if it means less mountainous and windy road. In no hurry to get there.

Being reasonably inexperienced at towing caravans I have noticed that the car will bounce (porpoise) when travelling over dips or hills in the road surface, potholes or bumps are not a problem only an undulation in the surface. There is no sway at all just this occasional bouncing, the back of the car...
