I have just posted in the jobs section about a position vacant for a manager for this camping spot. Please look at it if you think you may be interested. It is a fabulous camping spot for up to 72hrs with all facilities including pets. It would be a shame to see it closed. cheers, Robyn

Through the ages, men have been trying to unlock this mystery: Why do their wives, who accept them just as they are before they get married, begin the quest to change their behaviour and life-style once their vows are exchanged? Finally, the riddle is solved. A social-scientist has arrived at t...

I have a DMax ute and recently took it to a panelbeater to see how much it would cost to have a dent taken out of the tailgate. The dent was a "push-in" type, which had not damaged the paint and it didn't have sharp creases in the dent. He told me one of his guys would do it at the workshop for a couple...

Thirdly how shou...
