Well, I never thought I'd achieve 6 finished quilts in a year but I guess I stayed home a bit more this year. The first was started last year - a candlewick quilt which I hand quilted. The second was a quilt I'd been working on for a while having saved the fabrics for ages - the rose quilt, also handquilted. T...

I used to frequent a restaurant in North Sydney that featured a dish I've never seen anywhere else, either entree size or main. It was school prawns wrapped in a rasher of bacon, served on a bed of rice with a special tomato sauce (something like salsa). I couldn't get enough of the damn things, and alway...

posting my first pic so hoping this works, we have just finished putting new floor, seat covers and curtains in our van. (Made the seat covers n curtain and blind but had the flooring done by a bloke around the corner from us!) Must say I'm very proud of ourselves and loving the new updated look. When pul...

Gave up on trying to fix the old CF50 Waeco that would only run on 240V after much help from this forum and a few local techs. Put it on Gumtree with honest description for $240 and a bloke drove up from Brissie in his brand new Discovery just to buy it. Gave me $250 and said keep the change!!.... You wonder wh...

For maybe the fourth time in the last year there is a notice about a stolen caravan on the forum, so it certainly looks like something to be concerned about. For many years now there have been vehicle tracking services available in Australia, where they modify your vehicle and then if your vehicle is st...

Some old some new 'Sometimes when I reflect back on all the wine I drink I feel shame. Then I look into the glass and thinkabout the workers in the vineyards and all of their hopes and dreams .. If I didn't drink this wine, they might be outof work and their dreams would be shattered. Then I say to ...

Hi one and all. Glad to join the GN group. Been a caravanner for 12 years - currently have a Jeep Grand Cherokee and Atlantic New Generation caravan. Stay on the road around 9 months of the year. Hope to see you on the road in the best backyard in the world.

What is the general rule in national parks and ordinary free camps as I don't have a grey water tank on my caravan? are there restrictions on using these camping areas without a grey water tank?

Wife came home from a garage sale and excitedly told her husband she had bought a magic mirror. Bull dust! was his reaction. She said no, watch this, she stood in front of the mirror and said " mirror, mirror on the wall make my bust size forty four." Woosh, and she had the best looking breast h...

An old nun who was living in a convent next to a construction site noticed the coarse language of the workers and decided to spend some time with them to correct their ways. She decided she would take her lunch; sit with the workers; and talk with them. She put her sandwich in a brown bag and walked over to t...

Have found a good deal on a new van in Melbourne, is there any problem asking the dealership to register it in NSW?

Once upon a time, a bloke asked a beautiful girl 'Will you marry me?' The girl said, 'NO!' And the bloke lived happily ever after and rode motorcycles and went fishing and hunting and played golf a lot and drank beer and scotch. He had tons of money in the bank and left the toilet seat up and farted whenev...
