For the Dunmowin's, a get together in a state across the nation from their home town is always fun, but if you can make it progressive, it can be lots of fun. While Vic was busy organising a meet up at Popanyinning (and before that, Yornaning Dam), the Dunmowin's were busy house sitting in Wagin, where PW...

Snotty Receptionist As we get older and visit the doctor more, this could come in handy. An older gentleman had an appointment to see his urologist, who shared offices with several other doctors. The waiting room was filled with patients. As he approached the receptionist's desk, he noticed...

The essence of Government is power; and power, lodged as it must be in human hands, will ever be liable to abuse. James Madison (1751-1836)

Cant see where I have posted this so will do this again. I am looking at purchasing a washing machine as we will be on the road for 2 years or even more. I looked at a Campanion 2kg twin. They seem small so I am wondering what other people are using. I have been given a hand washer and have a bucket that I will use...

At last the last pay cheque has been banked and now there is lots of time to travel.

A senior citizen said to his eighty-year old buddy: 'So I hear you're getting married?' 'Yep!' 'Do I know her?' 'Nope!' 'This woman, is she good looking?' 'Not really.' 'Is she a good cook?' 'Naw, she can't cook too well.' 'Does she have lots of money?' 'Nope! Poor as a church mouse.' 'Well, then, is she...

I have recently discovered this awesome product called Vuplex. It may be old news to many but if you haven't heard of it, it is a wonder product for returning the new look back to those plastic windows on the van. Rather than me try and explain, visit their website http://vuplex.com.au. You can buy a sm...

I didn't know what a footprint was until I did some searching for ground sheets. I decided to buy a Black Wolf Tuff Dome tent that has a base of around 2.4m square. Should I bother with a footprint and if so go with a pre-made one (generally expensive) or make my own from cheapish material? Has anyone had an...

OK so we have had 'Pokey' (13 foot) for a few months now and been too b****y hot to go anywhere in it. We bought a bigger car the week before Xmas so now we can tow a bigger van. What we are looking at is something 17 - 20 foot with combined shower/toilet and air con. On road only. And Pop Top preferred. Under $30...

After travelling to Melbourne in 42 and 40 degree heat, it was nice to cool down. On the overnight ferry to Davenport we had a supposed smooth trip. Not sure what a rough one would be !!!

Out on a caching weekend around York and stayed overnight in the 24 hr stop over by the Avon River. Free with power available if needed. 15amp. Nice BBQ (free) and a lovely view. Easy access, drive in and out. We were a bit dubious about it being Saturday night. There was a group in the park about 11pm. A lit...
