Taken in April 2013 as we drove up to the Lookout and Picnic Area.

Equal amount of potato and pumpkin chopped into big chunks along with as much onion as you can stomach. I use 1 onion per person. Drop all into a huge pot with a lid along with about 1.5 lt water and put on the campfire. Hint - butternut pumpkin gives best result. Over boil until it begins to pulp take it off...

The old chestnut has come to the surface again so I contacted my local pollie to express concerns at the cost of Van and MH rego in NSW and to see what their thoughts were on the subject. Not unexpected I got the "Blame the other guy response" I think now is the time for all NSW Van and MH owner...

Checking over my poptop just prior to commencing a trip down south a few months ago I was happy with the condition of the wheel bearings, springs, and tyres, well the inspection of the tyres involved taking each one off and checking the tread depth and the wall condition, on both sides, somewhat surpri...

What you first see ... ... on closer inspection... ... ya gotta be jokin' ... And the view from underneath the boards. It is incredib...

It's that time of year in the south, rain is falling and weeds are growing. So! pulled out the plastic fantastic garden spray I bought from the local hardware store last year for about $20, loaded it up with water and Roundup, gave it a few pumps and the bloody thing exploded, burst at one of the seams, grr...

We went to Monato Zoo and these were taken from the bus... I felt real lucky that this one decided to take a dust bath as we went by :)

I left Taroom this morning, and now at Gil Weir, just west of Miles. And who should be camped nearby but the famous Dougwe! Yes, we finally met. It was no coincidence though. When I heard Doug may cross my path, I got in his way so he couldn't miss me!

We had a lovely chat until it just got too cold to s...

I found water around the wall in the ensuite and took me a while to figure out it was coming from the Truma B14 in the cupboard next door. The previous owner had it fitted (as replacement for old one) in 06/09, so only 3/1/2 yrs old. It's on a drip tray but I bet the tray has rusted somewhere out as nothing is c...
