For whatever reason the portable air conditioners sold in Australia only have an exhaust duct. Intake air to feed the exhaust is pinched from the room, so that air in the room has to be replaced by outside air. It is simple to knock up a bit of ducting out of cardboard & sticky tape, string, Velcro o...

On a small rural property on the edge of the forest near Hamelin Bay, I sometimes host campers. I prefer those who will commit to respecting and caring for this land. Campers must be fully self contained and take all their rubbish with them. Small tended campfires possible after 6pm, out by 11pm....,...

The first time this occurred the tech cleared the fault, the second time the tech replaced the a/c hoses, suppose...
