Here's one of mine. When we were in the UK about 8 years ago we stayed in London for a week. One da...

Newbie here - I asked the question in the introductions section, but got no answers, Maybe here??? I am looking to replace our 1999 Jayco poptop with a new one.

Well I haven't had any luck over the last 2 months in touching base with any body who lived or had a connection with Wyndham West Aust back in the 1940s . So I will wind the calendar forward to about 1950 to 1960. Are there any people out there that had an association with the Scarborough Boys back in those da...

Sea Eagles love Catfish above everything else. This shot was taken on the Daly River in the NT. They usually nest by the river each year and are great to photograph. They can lift more than half their body weight out of the water and are very powerful.

The murals painted in Sheffield make some very powerful statements. Artists from across Australia have left a real mark in Sheffield. The artwork created a busy tourist town.

Being a long term C/park resident (16 years), I have noticed a 1,000 different types of TV antenna floating around. I am still using my $99 Dick Smith's cheapy, and it is 10 to 20 years old and gets all of the 22 TV and Radio channels perfectly. What are people getting that I am not getting? Excluding D...

Once there was power in this vehicle, now it holds a different kind of power - the power to attract the attention of a photographer. (This shot was also taken at Merna Mora, Flinders Ranges)

Hi all. Any one have an Aircommand Ibis 3 rooftop airconditioner? Wondering if these are any good or is there a better aircon. For a 19'6" internal van. Don't get on greatly with the real hot so want to get a reasonably decent unit. Cheers John
