Hmmmm. Yeah/No. Yes, maybe it will help stop these beautiful places from being loved to death. No. Parks & Wildlife will have more cash available to install more infrastructure, turning beautiful natural wilderness into Sunday drive picnic places and parks. Such a shame. I visited NT in 20...

On the cab journey, he confided to the driver that he thought his wife was having an affair. As they pulled up outside his house, the businessman asked the driver: Would you come in...

I just noticed on my compliance plate the load ratings of my axle group is 2000kg yet my my ATM is 2195 kg, am I missing something ? how can my loaded van weigh 2195 when my axles are only rated at 2000kg. My van is a single axle Golf Savanah. Ian -- Edited by Ian G on Wednesday 5th of April 2023 04:45:15 PM

Once again we see carnage on our roads at Easter. We have never travelled at Easter since the kids were little and I had time off. It is. imho, one of the most dangerous times to travel. It would be interesting to hear from others on here what they do, travel or stay put?
