Is this just me or have we had some changes to the forum layout

To all those that endured those time and those that still do, my hat is off to you and tonight I will toast you with a glass of red........ a big thank you from this little black duck.

Loved my experiences, seen dinosaur fossils in Broome, Devils Marbles, Delivered the Mail to Outback Stations out of Coober Pedy and flew over Lake Eyre, SPECTACULAR Am at Morgan on the river Murray ATM, nearly home....

I've got the van parked up and I check condition occasionly ie no ants getting in solar charging bat.etc. Anyway I checked on weekend and discovered the solar wasn't charging and bat was flat, on further looking I discovered that two internal lights had been le...

Yep; their at it again. I abreviated a word & now I;m a racist. Dogooders; get a life; your the problem not the answer. Get out in the real world & open your eyes & you will be doing every one a favour. I;m off to find a new interest, enough is enough when the minority dictates to the majority ove...

I have noticed several posts, over time, that refer to vehicular mounted Telephone aerials. To what are they referring, and on what type of phones do they work. Are talking satellite OR Telstra type mobiles. I am most anxious to understand, just in case I might be needing one soon. Many Thanks, KB

I also have to acknowledge two businesses in Carnarvon. Repco, I went in because the battery charger I bought in Kalgoorlie was defective. It turned out I had not even bought it from Repco, however the lady there said not a problem and sourced a new charger for the unit, and gave it to me free of charge. Ve...

Police said due to an unknown fault the moving vehicle started slowing down on its own on Marble Bar Road, about 40 kilometres north of Newman, this morning. When the driver stopped and got o...

These are the 3 things I hate about Travel. Caravan Parks are just overpriced blocks of land run by Greedy People offering me all these extras, that I have no need for, at an over the top price. Councils are governed by Park Owners and are Council Owned. Rangers, well, where do I start. They are just powe...

I guess that most on here have never thought about it, as most use cassettes, but some of us have grey- and blackwater holding tanks - 80 litres each in our case. This means that we need to drive up beside a dump point to empty. The problem arises when, as here in Northampton (WA), the DP is on one side of a wid...

Gday... Cheers - John

Hey all, we have now competed another anniversary - 4 years on the road on 9th July! Still going strong as we head south and enjoy the cold. Happy reading everyone. Blog has been held up - wanted to include a map of the lap, but having issues with printer vs Windows 10! Subsequently, no map!
