I was commenting on another thread and realised I should also add this to the general forum and the tips thread. A tip from my truckie brother... When you see a kangaroo at the side of the road, for instance, and there are other vehicles behind you or oncoming, put your hazard lights on. It really grabs th...

From her place you can see the railway line & it is strange for me to see one of those long coal trains go past & know 'that is my baby driving that'. She is the youngest of 3 girls but women can do anything they...

This free camp is not advertised in the 6th Edition of Camps book, but is open. Heaps of room, can pull up on concrete, or next to a concrete pad, or somewhere in the bush, or as we have done on the tennis court - at least it is green, unlike the grass. Walking around is interesting, working out what some of...
