Not my cooking but I would like to highly recommend the "Crown Hotel" The middle pub in the main street of Home Hill QLD. It is right opposite the free camp/rest stop behind the shops along side the railway line. I was a bit worried my medium rare Angus Rump would have no moo in at all as it is was cooked on a h...

Wandering around Wonboyn Lake NSW this morning I saw this totem pole in some-ones front garden. It sort of reminded me of Dougwe's avatar a bit. Cheers Keith

A POEM TO WHICH I CAN RELATE I remember the corned beef of my Childhood, And the bread that we cut with a knife, When the Children helped with the housework, And the men went to work not the wife. The cheese never needed a fridge, And the bread was so crusty and hot, The Children were seldom unhappy, And the W...

G'day, I know its supposed to be played on Bugle however this violin version of 'The Last Post' loses nothing in feeling and sincerity.....the timbre of the lower notes are so rich and vibrant, and is highly recommended....

Hi folks, I'm trying to create a guide that will help caravan manufacturers to improve their websites and provide better service to customers. There seem to be some really poor caravan websites out there. Does anyone have advice to share regarding any of the following questions? What do you look fo...

Good Evening Fellow adventurers, My Wife and I have (after much consideration) decided to buy a good used motor home. Ideally we would spend no more than $50,000 and hopefully purchase something that was reasonably economical to run. As complete novices we look to you experienced nomads to advise u...

I have just read a post re Caravan Company Websites. Seems to me that the bugbear we all have to deal with in the modern world is "DEREGULATION" Banks deregulated, Eggs , Car sales, milk, vegetable growing and the list goes on and on and on. The end result we the consumer have to deal with all the crap that h...

Now I know it's very pleasant sitting around a small fire or a "chuffer" chewing the fat and putting the world to rights, but why do some morons have to get so carried away and build bonfires bigger than Ben Hur ? Just over nighted at Nerren Nerren rest area in NW WA and two camper trailers came in and procee...

On my soapbox again.Once again, the Budget still doesnt address the rich paying no personal income tax, just like previous budgets from either sides of politics. Income tax for PAYE people is a sliding scale. Company income tax is 30%. At a point (used be about $120,000) the tax bill for both is equal...

I'm considering purchasing a Sunliner Mirage Motorhome, built on a Toyota Hilux chassis. It's a 2003 model, petrol automatic transmission (although I was looking for a diesel), and I'm wondering if there is anyone on this forum that either has one, or has any knowledge of one. I'm planning on becomm...

OK, I know a lot don't like generators, but here's a question I haven't seen answered anywhere else. When using your generator do you keep it on the slide or do you take it off the slide and place it on the ground to run? My simple thoughts are that if its on the slide it will vibrate through the van and maybe l...
