Thanks to the kindness of a GN. I have an Aldi-powered mobile (no Aldi in WA, so he sent me the SIM card). Works a treat. Local calls 12 cents a minute. Call my wife in UK . . . 10 cents a minute! As they say, go figure. Cheers, Tony

Thanks for the info and comments. Have reached Balranald for the night, 5pm Victoria time. Hardly any traffic from tailem bend, 5 trucks going other way and about the same number of cars, sunny skies, a/c on in tug as it got quite hot. 8.30pm and it is now raining very heavy, oh well we're inside and outsi...

it's taking us a while to get to St Lawrence from HomehIll. Little lovely detours along the way. Spent last night on a sugar cane farm with friends working there. Started again this morning down the Bruce Highway and spotted several vans parked off the highway near the beach. Its ClaIrvIew. What a love...

We have the vents open a bit and still find it a big problem. The van came with airco but it appears useless on the heat sec...

Bummer. I got the fridge fixed but he gave me a gas non compliance certificate because there wasn't a 40mm internal hole in the floor behind the fridge as the bottom vent was 25mm above floor level. Something about possible gas leaks could be a problem. He ticked the box saying not a risk and another say...

Just watching a show on WA regional TV (it is cold outside here today) and there was a segment on Kooljaman Resort at Cape Leveque. Found it interesting, and thought we might bookmark the place as a potential visit next year as we move up the WA Coast. Found the following information There are 26 power...

The following are results from an OZ-words Competition where entrants were asked to take an Australian word, alter it by one letter only, and supply a witty definition. Clearly, you need to be an Aussie to understand. Billabonk: to make passionate love beside a waterhole Bludgie: a par...

This homemade van and 1930 Ford turned up at Goldwire WA yesterday. On the big loop from Bunbury. Can travel at top speed of 70km ph. All tyres etc have to come in from the States.

there probably been posts re: speed you tow your van. Seeing the number of accidents, roll-overs etc, I an wondering what the causes are. We travel at 90 - 95 kmph. It's the speed we are comfortable with. We have an 80 series LandcruIser and an 18 ft Viscount (old model). While travelling from GoondawI...
