I was going to put this on "I digress" but as internet communication is a big part of the RV lifestyle decided it was relevant here. I recently got an email from Telstra saying they are updating their security system (as a result of their recent website crash I'm betting).Telstra Internet S...

We did a house sit in Katherine for 5 weeks and found the Sports Club in Giles Street (on the Gorge Road) the best in town. Very good restaurant meals at club prices, modern and good variety.

Still worth the stop and we are one doing a...
