G'Day all, Well 2 months have whizzed by at a great rate of knots. We travelled through lots of wonderful country, met some really nice people. We even helped a newbie with his awning, he could get it out but didn't know to get it back. He bought the van privately and the owners gave him no instruction or...

We've had a wonderful week's camp at this lovely spot. Even during the school holidays, it was not too busy. There's a crystal clear creek and a flush toilet plus lots of shade. It's in the middle of a cane farm where the owner has kindly cleared the area alongside the creek. His dog Rex [aka The Caretaker...

Ducks on Gum Bend Lake Condobolin NSW just before dark.

Looking at portable foldable 12v solar panels last week. The brand name panels (eg. Waeco, Projecta) from Van shops & chain stores appear expensive compared with stuff from eBay. Anyone out there using eBay sourced panels successfully (eg. Macht, Megavolt, Maxray)?

Well that is a stupid topic but apt I think. When life throws you lemons you gotta work out how to make lemonade. That is my thoughts for tonight. Do you want to ask some questions of those who have gone before, (just copied that from the opening post here) So I want to ask: What was the clincher that sent you...

This is a susnset outside Quilpie - taken while on our trip in 2014

Fred was in the fertilized egg business. He had several hundred young' pullets,' and ten roosters to fertilize the eggs. He kept records, and any rooster not performing went into the soup pot and was replaced. This took a lot of time, so he bought some tiny bells and attached them to his roosters...

Don't know if anyone else has seen or heard. Seems genuine enough. WORTH KNOWING Please give your 2 min and read this:- 1. Let's say it's 7pm and you're going home (alone of course) after an unusually hard day on the job. 2. You're really tired, upset and frustrated. 3. Suddenly you start experi...

Here are a few of the hundreds of images that we've taken in the 3 years that we've been retired.

I was coming back from the shop late yesterday and noticed a lady sitting on the A Frame of her van crying. I stopped and asked if she was OK, silly question really if she was crying. She told me her husband had been taken to hospital and she couldn't tow the van herself and needed to move it as the street is ve...

Sunrise at Yellow Water.

My BA XR6 ute can tow 1600kgs, has a carrying capacity in the tub of about 560kgs and a ball weight of 160kgs. The tow bar can take 2300kgs load & 160kgs ball weight.
