In speaking with fellow travellers so far we have heard the old saying "wind up roll up". The last month or so here in Adelaide has seen some serious weather go thru wi...

Any suggestions re how one would normally cut small sections (e.g. handle, lock etc) in 3mm Aluminium composite? (I have a circular metal cutter blade for metal/Aluminium for the outside cuts, but wondering for the small cuts that aren't on the edges so to speak)

Heading off again this week for almost 3 weeks. Not sure where exactly - don't care. Probably north of Adelaide, Flinders Ranges perhaps? This week I fitted an inlet silencer for the Diesel heater. Not that it was really noisy but should be quieter now for any neighbours that want to park too close. I p...

Fifteen minutes later, he says, "Get me another beer before it starts." She looks cross, but fet...

After a couple of very wet stays at caravan parks and getting stuck on soft surfaces we have decided to trade in the diesel Territory (2wd) and get a 4x4. I have narrowed my choice down to either a Pajero or an Isuzu MUX. Being a bit of a skinflint can anyone let me know what sort of economy I would expect to g...
