There was footage of racing (obviously) and the commentators simply spoke, named the drivers/riders and a basic comment on what was going on. You are watching TV after al...

I tend to camp in tucked away spots in forests and such so giving my location to others can be an issue. It occured to me that if an emergency occured (heart attack, tree falling on the caravan etc) then it's quite likely I'll be in shock at that point too and I recall the couple of times in my life when I have e...

I took delivery of a 23 ft Network RV just prior to Christmas 2022. The dealer gave me no information on time periods for servicing. How often should i get it serviced? So far it has done one short trip.

A 71 year old man was using a angle grinder in dry grass on a hot day four days ago at Flowerdale, 1 hour north of Melbourne. It is still not controlled and has so far, burnt 2000 acres.
