Was looking for a way I could carry Jessie around markets etc without having to carry her or drag her around on a lead in the heat and under everyone's feet. Brain snap: I got my granny shopping trolley out. You know the ones old ladies pull along behind them. I cut the top bit off with the pull string, leavi...

My apologies if this has already been raised. I have just read this on facebook. see article here: https://www.facebook.com/Freechoicecamping?hc_location=timeline Amazes me how the caravan parks think they "own" the caravan/camper users and can force all of us into their overpr...

This will be my third night at Slaty Creek just out of Creswick Victoria (Camps 5 - 524). Only intended to stay one night, but such a pretty spot decided to stay a bit longer. Camped next to a lovely shallow stream and there are walking tracks for people who are feeling energetic. 3km of dirt road, but w...

Saw a m/h in the car park in our local town the other day. As I was interested in the m/h I went and had a talk to the owners - which turned out to be only one - a lady. I had a good chat to her - she has been on the road for 16 years around Aust. 3 times and always free camped. First m/h was a hiace but she has upgrad...

I thought that maybe some of you may have copied your old vidios to a CD and was wondering the best way to go about it. I see you can buy a combo machine from LG but thought there may be a cheaper alternative. Thanks, Phil

Well no matter what Dougwe says, this is all boy stuff to me but I am learning. Yesterday I had to actually plug Miss Daisy into the power as I am now almost in an empty house. So all good get out the extension cord, ready to plug into mains power of my house, oops this has a 15amp plug on it and will not fit int...

We have a '11 Jayco 13' StarCraft, do the wheels stud pattern match a Holden, Ford or Toyota? Or anything?

n our way to Canberra to visit floriard and heaps of other venues over the next two weeks but unfortunately one of the things we were most interested in has finished the Turner exhibition but with the 100th anniversary and heaps of other great things to see should be a great couple of weeks. We will be sta...

Has anyone else noticed the sad way the old country towns are Blogged about, so much negativity...I'm not reading anymore. If museums aren't open maybe you could volunteer, maybe their retired people are off Grey Nomading like you. We all know they probably never recovered after the 2 World Wars. T...

What with all the ups and downs thought I would have a check up at the doctors. So trotted off , and armed with forms for blood tests etc, (fasting one) went to the lab next day , Back to the doctors the following week, was a bit intrepid with the forthcoming results. Called into the room , and mind t...

Decided to go to the Artesian Springs in Mitchell after a sign at the free camp Neil Turner Weir Camps6 #659 said that it was free. No such luck it was only $8 for the day but I decided not to participate. Instead of returning to the camp I decided to move on and headed for Roma where I did get phone recept...

Very pleasant, a veritable oasis in a parched surrounding. Much better than I had anticipated. Although next to an Indigenous Cultural Centre that was having a Cultural Day, it was a very pleasant stay, the only downside was heavy traffic on the hiway, Grounds looked great, amenities spotless and j...

We had one in our caravan ... it worked ok for awhile and then it started to lose the vacuum and it would keep on cycling about every 10mins. I replaced all the O rings, cassette cap and the big seal under the seat. In the end it just wouldn't pump up the vacuum ... the vacuum pump wouldn't stop. After ringing...

DAMN FINE EXPLANATION The wife came home early and found her husband in their bedroom making love to a very attractive young woman. And she was somewhat upset. "You are a disrespectful pig!" she cried. "How dare you do this to me -- a faithful wife, the mother of your children! I'm lea...

Not sure where to first, probably round in circles for a few days while waiting for my solar panel to be delivered, and popping into a BCF to buy my new camping chair. Will find a few rivers to camp beside and chillout, relax, empty my head of all nasty thoughts and get my sanity back. Dickabram Bridge woul...

He is suitablyimpressed, gets on the phone to Des Hasler, signs the boy on the spotand arranges for him to come over to Sydney. Two w...

Just a reminder of what your orchids looked like, and the pink ones are Lyns Ken

Hi Everyone. can anyone offer advice on an awning that won't retract? I currently rewind it back by hand (I'm just tall enough and luckily I have a pop top). I'm trying to figure out how to post a pic of how it all started to go wrong. heck, thepic is huge and I can't figure how to make it smaller. Sorry for t...
