It's been a while, but I thought I'd better check in. Work has been quiet due to many factors, and then the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator brought the whole industry to a screaming halt in February, and it's still not running smoothly. So you may notice the absence of oversize loads out there on the h...

This will take a little explaining, so please bear with me. I've just finished nine weeks working with Blazeaid, in Victoria. It's one thing to see the result of the fires on TV, and another to go to the farms , etc and meet the people. Now the job is finished there, we are going to N/W Qld; to help people eff...

Do not think that you will be reunited with your lost pet in NSW because the animal is microchipped. I think it is very wrong that NSW council pounds can ignore that your pet's ownership details may be recorded on a different register other than the NSW companion animal database.

She's a 1992 MAN 10180 cylinder diesel mini-coach. She recently (just finished today) got her windows removed to be reclad and have motorhome windows fitted. We think she looks great! The work was done by CP Motorhomes in Ulverstone Tasmania; they were fantastic with us, would recommend them to...

These couple of shots were taken from Cliff Head Camp site yesterday, being right on the Coast, this camp site would not be a very nice place to be when the coming Storm hit.... Sorry the pictures haven't turned out to clear, it's because the light was fading very quickly. K.J.

So I went to leave Greens the other day. There was a 'clonk,clonk' sound from a caravan wheel. It wasn't pretty. i figured the side it was coming from and did a u-bolt back to camp, cos I had no idea what to do!!!! And figured some lovely person would help. thanks to some GN's, one who I didn't even know, had m...
