Pulled in here today to find the annual camp draft happening. So a few are in the "no generator" end - the rest on the nicely cut grass across the road - about 50 travellers. Still a great spot. Lots who are driving in are turning around and driving away.

In case my question about Sikaflex (as mentioned in Vic's thread about his water tank) gets lost there, I figured I'd better start a new thread. My porta potti lid/seat has a small crack in the plastic rim. It doesn't affect the toilet seat when the lid is raised, but the lid also acts as an extra seat when...

From the timber country around Manjimup/Pemberton to Augusta and up to Perth. The weather has been a bit cool and damp but the country is fascinating and makes it all worthwhile!

Near my auxillary battery, I have a ciggy type plug for 12V accessories and also another which I think may be for a TV. However the socket has two oblong pins, one horizontal oblong one at the top and a vertical oblong one underneath it. Although not touching, the two oblong pin holes are in a "T&...

I have just spent over half an hour talking with the owners of the Corop Store. They started to question me when I said I had just come from there after going out to catch up with a couple of grey nomads (pricey43). They were able to tell me exactly what is going on out there as they want it to stay open just as m...
