G'day Nomads. Being old, buggered and lazy, and having a ute that's exposed to the elements all the time, I wondered if there's a wash and wax product on the market that does a reasonable job of keeping the paintwork clean and presentable. I'm way past all that rubbing and polishing business. Too blood...

Has anybody used these? What was your experience? It works out much cheaper than fortnightly applications of Advantix, and the local Vet recommended them. Am trialling them on our 2 whippets but they seem to be scratching a lot after 10 days. The thing is we put the collars on when we first got them so d...

Friday and Kieran was going into Shepparton to get a few items to improve his camping experience and invited me to go along. Great was able to link up with Richard and family he had brought my speakers. We all had a snack at Target Food Hall, before driving them back home. Had a good happy hour with new Grey...

Or places that sell things like couches etc as end of run th...
