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...

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.

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.

Two Dwarfs go into a bar, where they pick up two 'Working Girls' and take them to their separate hotel rooms for an hour of pleasure. The first Dwarf, however, is unable to get an erection.
