This post is not just for the ladies but it is also for the men. I have started knitting again. I knit of a night for something to do, I also find it relaxing. My favourite is knitting beanies. Now my questions are, if you were travelling and it was really cold and you had no hat or beanie, would you buy a b...

After nearly seven wonderful relaxing months travelling with my little toy poodle (Oscar) around WA, across to Darwin then down the centre through Alice Springs, I am now on the last leg of my journey (currently at Lake Hart SA free camp north of Port Augusta), and will arrive home in Melbourne next Fr...

In S.E.Qld on the Gatton/Clifton Road. About 35 Kms from Gatton. ( Stop in at Apex Park,Gatton. Great food & coffee and a Transport museum,well worth it. ) There are drop toilets but no water. Large shady area with many fireplaces & a few picnic tables. Set along a small,flowing creek in a stee...

Hi folks this is to let all the grey nomads who have camped at Green Hill Lake Ararat and intend to stay there that there $5 that they pay to the committee is not going to waste, it is in the local paper that they will be spending some of it on a playground for the children who's families camp there over the sc...

After the Cathedral Tree I went to Lakeside Caravan Park at Yungaburra, I had previously checked the price out at $7.50 per night for a solo but decided to be extravagant and took the powered site option for $15 per night. This was the first time for over a year of travelling that I have used a caravan par...

This is just for anyone heading for northern Qld (or already there). In addition to the famed Comfort Stop the good people of Home Hill have opened up their showground. And a very nice place to stop it is. It costs $10 a night for a powered site - the same for unpowered (they like to keep things simple) so...

Hi fellow GN's, To keep this short I have a UHF Radio fitted in my Prado and need to redirect the coax cable under the hood, my question is, Can you join the Coax Cable successfully? I would use correct fittings if available and solder where possible. Edit....Sorry, forgot to ask, with the join mentio...

I am getting the 4WD ready for some off-road venturing, it already has some off-road gear fitted. I was just wondering what people (who have actually purchased and used them) think of both TJM and ARB products, more along the lines of suspension, winches, diff lockers etc. Have you had good or bad expe...

I got this off facebook. It'd be interesting to see the inside.

Anhingas and Cormorants are very similar but this beauty I photographed on the Man O War Steps near Sydney Opera House is an Anhinga, also known as an Australasian Darter. Unlike most seabirds, their feathers are not waterproof, so they spread their wings and hang them out to dry. Aren't they spectac...

A fart is a pleasant thing...It gives the belly ease... It warms the bed in winter... And suffocates the fleas. A fart can be quiet... A fart can be loud... Some leave a powerful... Poisonous cloud A fart can be short... Or a fart can be long... Some farts have been known... To sound like a song...

.Two Ladies Talking in Heaven 1st woman: Hi, Wanda! 2nd woman: Hi, Sylvia! How'd you die? 1st woman: I froze to death. 2nd woman: How horrible! 1st woman: It wasn't so bad. After I quit shaking from the cold, I began to get warm & sleepy, and finally died a peaceful death. What about you? 2nd woman: I d...

A mate of ours from Bollon passed this on (author unknown). When the shearing sheds are silent and the stock camps fallen quiet When the gidgee coals no longer glow across the outback night And the bush is forced to hang a sign, 'gone broke and won't be back' And spirits fear to find a way beyond the beate...

Set off from Babinda in the rain but hoped for a weather change, didn't look forward to driving up the Gillies Range in the rain and photos would be hard to take. By the time I got to Gordonvale the rain had lifted and I did my grocery shopping and filled up the bus. The drive up the range was not as scary as I h...
