Manly, actually more towards Queenscliff end of the beach lifting rescue boats out of the water. It is surprising just how heavy these boats are. I did speak to the crew & sent them photos of their hard work after showing them on the phone.

Did you bother watching the remembrance service yesterday. What a disgusting event, whoever plannned and excuted it should hang their heads in shame, it was pathetic.

On Tuesday 6 September I was towing our Jayco Sterling from Nowra to Canberra. Due to heavy rains the roads, which except for only 4.7kms of gravel, were all sealed but with numerous potholes and washaways. We passed through Bungendore then to the Federal Highway (saved going through Queanbeyan) an...
