We had the pleasure of meeting Beth54 and her good friend Raeyen (sorry - not sure of spelling) at Murwillumbah yesterday.

Not sure if this comes under 'budget' - but as a cheaper alternative to the caravan parks in Broken Hill I'll put it in. It's in Camps 6 NSW 1074. It's now $25 a night powered or $22 without. Only toilets, no showers. Depends what events are on as to where you can park. Have to ring caretaker before parking....

Just a quick reminder to us all that not every one is on holidays with the "I am the only one one the road" attitude.

Gday... I am so glad I travel in the quiet, sparsely populated, beautiful, natural areas of this wonderful country. I am beginning to wonder just where our society is heading ... if, in fact, it is heading anywhere worthwhile. The headlines on the news and papers show almost nothing but assaults, kil...

Finally, the riddle is solved. A social-scientist has arrived at this s...

An atheist was seated next to a little girl on an airplane and he turned to her and said, "Do you want to talk? Flights go quicker if you strike up a conversation with your fellow passenger." The little girl, who had just started to read her book, replied to the total stranger, "What woul...

Manure... An interesting fact Manure: In the 16th and 17th centuries, everything had to be transported by ship and it was also before the invention of commercial fertilizers, so large shipments of manure were quite common. It was shipped dry, because in dry form it weighed a lot less than when...
