Hi everyone, just wondering if anyone is going to the Leisurefest show at Sandown Racecourse Melbourne this week, I think. Came across this new caravan coming from the UK and is being shown for the first time in Australia. From the pics that we have seen it looks gorgeous and appears to have everythi...

For any of the fellow travellers who wish to get T V coverage, let me share a bad experience with you all. I bought a dish and the ancilliaries from the Perth Caravan show from itech world, and during my travels found this system wirtually impossible to tune in. Aside from the fact they did not advise me I n...

Just read on the home page here about park rangers having to clean loos, pick up rubbish etc. They should do as they do in WA. Have a great army of volunteers. We have been doing vollie work in WA parks for about 10 years & they have a great system. So yes, we've cleaned loos, picked up rubbish, clea...

I usually only look at the general forum but decided to have a peek at this one and boy did it make me ashamed I was complaining of having an arthritic knuckle taken out and not being able to use my hand fully for between 3 to 6 months. All I can say is that I am so sorry for complaining and just hope that all on th...

Staying at the sportsground in Barcaldine, second time here over last 2 years. Facilities here are excellent, toilets spotless. Big problem appears to be that the local camping grounds are trying to get this closed down and using some underhand tactics. We are paying $25 for a powered site here, t...

Was shopping today and thought I'd get some prawns - from WW supermarket. Had the idea of avoiding crowds on Xmas Eve and also making sure I got the type I wanted. They had boxes of still frozen ones out the back, so there's no issue about refreezing defrosted ones. The sales person told me their Xmas pric...

Here in Canberra my partner and I have anything from 1 week to 3 weeks wait for an appointment with our doctors. We'd heard about a doctor shortage in the bush so were very surprised in Katherine NT, when he got an appointment in 2 hours! How long do others have to wait, and where are you?

We are intending to visit friends in Sydney around April next year. Don't really want to stay in Sydney proper so we are looking at suitable CP's or showgrounds near-by (50 Kms or so). We would then travel into the big smoke via train. Any thoughts would be helpful. Thanks in advance Brian & Cheryl ...

Anybody got one? any good ?

I've had so many people sending me get well messages, I thought I'd give you all a little update. I had a chest xray on Friday which showed that it is 'only' Asthma and not Pneumonia(thank God), but it's certainly hanging around this time. Maybe because I ignored it for several weeks before getting on t...
