Having arrived in Broome and set up our van in a precious hard to get site, we said Hullo to our neighbors, some of whom were friendly but others didnt even answer. Around 5 a large group gathered around the communal BBQ which is right beside our awning, enjoyed a noisy happy hour then cooked their dinner...

The thread about the anti-carbon tax rally seems to have been axed. If threads are killed off, can they just be marked "closed" and left there so we know what's happened, rather than just having them disappear? Cheers, Tony

OK, I'll try again. WHAT HAPPENED TO THE CANBERRA RALLY THREAD? I would appreciate the courtesy of a reply, rather than an anonymous axing. We're all big boys and girls now, not children. Tony

Does any body on the fourm ever have YouTube nights. We have one occasionally, couple of drinks and play all the old songs.

You appeared from no where and shamelessly, without any reservations, you laid on my naked body...you sensed my indifference, so you applied your hungry mouth to me without any guilt or humiliation, and you drove me near crazy while you drained me. Finally, I drifted off to sleep. Today when I aw...

Hi all, been awhile. Has anyone made a cover for their van roof as protection against hail damage. A quick pull over the roof type, slightly wider with tie ropes down the sides. If travelling and can see a potential threat I am thinking that a cover on a roller mounted at the front, similar to a pool cover r...
