Have just returned home from trip through south and upper burnett, rockhampton, gladstone and maryborough and highly recommend Wallace Motel and Caravan Park at Maryborough (Queensland). Big, grassy drive-through sites with concrete pads, excellent and clean showers, clean toilets; nothin...

In Geraldton at present, it is raining, wind blowing( which apparently is not unusual here), grey skys, and it is only 14 at present, rising to 19 later in the day and tomorrow only 18. After that back to...

Our Garmin has free lifetime updates (the device, not me I suspect), and I check for updates before any lengthy trip especially if it involves driving through a city.Anyhow, I did an update on ours recently, and while the data is more current, the silly thing now says things like in 800metres turn righ...

On the ABC there is a series called Orbit , watched No 2 today then went on to I View and watched No 1. A real insight into how the plant or at least the orbit of the planet plays a big part in what we experience on the ground as weather patterns . Pity those climate change doomsayers had'nt watched the...

GAS ALERTSome cookers have not been installed and supported adequately to prevent the cooker shaking withinthe installation cavity. There have been instances where the support below the cooker has broken atthe rear, fixing bolts have come out or sheared off and the top timber frames have flexed p...

here I am thinking that I was doing the right thing in supporting an Australian business that was giving the big two fuel retailers a bit of a challenge but it appears that they are also massive rip off merchants, the ABC did a story on them and exposed the fact that they were significantly defrauding an...

Being business owners doesn't give us lots of time for trips away, and because our business is catering we usually have to work weekends, and we do office work through the week. Last weekend was one of those weekends when we had nothing on, and we decided to Take off to the Melbourne 4x4 show from Adela...

Also I would be most grateful if anyone can tell me places that we 'must visit' on our...

Impressed with the staff, was not kept waiting, only took 1.5 hours and after I had had a coffee and breakfast across the road, went for a walk, I was offered shelter from the cold wind in their morning tea room. All done and dusted, pleased with wh...
