A friend has finished a trip from Gippsland to Marpoon and back. The coaster held together well, but flat towing a Suzie was painful with the 1HZ motor. What is a good option for repowering. The gearbox is a M155 which we cannot find any info on. The diff is a A02A (3.727 :1) that much we know.

Does anyone know how to resize multiple jpg pics please?

Perhaps i should have titled this drawbar foolishness. Coming back from a few days on the coast, I tried to step over the drawbar as the van was bit close to the bushes and the door opened the other way. I dont remember how but I ended up on the ground with skin off my knee, elbow and hands. Ok, get up hope noon...

I refer to the front page story about crocodile numbers increasing in Nth Qld, and their threat to communities. Here is a quote from Environment Minister Andrew Powell... "We will trap and remove any crocodiles which are found to be dangerous " My question is, arent they all dangerous? Ar...

Sad news yesterday. A couple of teenagers found the man who went missing at Eungella last month. At least he'll have a decent burial. Take care every-one, Cheers, Sheba.

Rather reluctantly we are headed south. Left Barbinda this morning but have not travelled very far. We are visiting and staying overnight at Paronella Park. What an amazing place and no wonder it has won so many awards. Tomorrow we head towards Townsville before heading west to Charters Towers. -- E...

Gday... Today the awning fabric was finally replaced after killing time around Dubbo for two weeks. Took the repairer in Dubbo a bit of extra time re-positioning the anti-flap-kit rails but it all worked out pretty good. So tonight I am sitting in the Nyngan Leisure Van Park - and will be heading to Bou...

So lovely to meet my first "Grey Nomad" on the road this afternoon in Emerald, down by the Botanical Gardens. Gypsy Rover! What a charming lady. To set the record straight I think her Winnebago looks nothing like a horse float. Andy

Russ and Sam, two friends, met in the park every day to feed the pigeons, watch the squirrels and discuss world problems. One day Russ didn't show up. Sam didn't think much about it and figured maybe he had a cold or something... But after Russ hadn't shown up for a week or so, Sam really got worried. Howev...

Had the reversing camera installed today & the guy that come out & fitted it was very professional, & unlike the guy that came to look at the gas oven last week, cleaned up after himself & went through everything with me. I was very happy so happy in fact I would like to mention the name of...

Comming across the Flinders Highway from Mt. Isa to Charters Towers, I had quite a head wind and it did terrible things to the fuel usage. Usually 17 to 21 litres, it shot up to 24 per 100kms. I also wonder if we were gradually climbing up the Great Dividing Range, maybe that had a contributing factor. I w...

My daughter has a little dog called Monty who is 18 years old. Unfortunately tomorrow she is having him put to sleep because he is now weeing blood and eating very little. I will be there with her and for her. I know he's had a good innings, and it's the best thing for him, but we're all very sad that it's c...

I have had a few of these over the years and most have the same storyline, they are overseas and buying for someone else, need your Paypal account etc. This one is similar but a slight twist to it, maybe I should have put this in the "Humour" section. Although they are targetting all sales a...

Some of you may remember my trying to get a refund on my navigator. Well I'm happy to report that I got my refund.

I had a phone call from the Area Manager of Aldi, Florian, and he grovelled and apologised sufficiently and authorised my refund at the same store. And the problem Deputy manager, wa...

Gday...I have travelled extensively through the eastern states of this wonderful country, and to a lesser extent, South Australia and the Northern Territory. However, there had been something I had wanted to do for many years. I had wanted to experience the adventure that all, to whom I had spoken,...

Headed for Neville Hewitt Weir Camps6 #445 at Baralaba on sealed roads all the way although the camps map suggests that the road from Fitzroy Development Road to Baralaba is unsealed. Yesterday the place was packed with a fishing competition but today I had no problems finding a camp. The old bridge i...

Hi all Is it easy to buy replacement bags for vacuum sealer. Ebay or local shops are they all ok to use??

Hi Everyone, As you may well be aware Lake Eyre is looking like filling for the second consecutive year! Which has'nt happened in 10 years! Great news for people venturing up though this way. We will be operating a Helicopter out of Marree conducting scenic flights up over the Lake and maybe out to Coop...
