This really is a great site to be part of.

Hi all, just spend a very pleasant 3 days at the Calliope River Crossing campsite - bit of a shock to the system to see how the floods have rearranged the landscape, only the northern upper side is still viable.

This list is so quiet at present. Huddled down for winter I suppose. I am missing the campsites at present altho I am probably better off here for the time being.

Okay, so most of the regular users will have gethered that I do a bit of work on vehicles, mainly 4x4's, so here's something to think about. Today I had to look at a Land Cruiser that had a bit of an issue with a noise from the front hubs. After stripping them down the grease, that should be lubricating the b...

Wednesday and huge delays on the road taking me over 2 hours to travel the 110kms between Calliope and Rockhampton.

I did a GOOGLE on Hansen heaters and found some negative results due to their alloy insides corroding. Back to GOOGLE and I found t...

The guy has been doing this same job for over 26 years ,so he is only too ha...
