Students at a Medical School were receiving their first anatomy class with a real dead human body. They all gathered around the surgery table with the body covered with a white sheet. Then the Professor started the class by telling them: 'In medicine, it is necessary to have two important qualities a...

Recent events have shown me that these people are still around and always will be. I was reminded of a couple of lines from my "bible", Desiderata; "Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is" h...

Hi all, Left home today (near Hobart, TAS) for three months on the mainland. A stopover of a few nights in Launceston, then on the Spirit to cross Bass Strait on 20th July. I intend travelling up Kidman Way to Charleville, turn right and continue on to Brisbane. I'll base myself in Brisbane, doing tr...

Replying to Jules in Cooloola Cove thread.... Seems to be the story of my life unfortunately. But I'm doing okay. Just between you and me, I think Annie is enjoying caring for Mummy!

She's a good girl, very caring and thoughtful. She had to go out today, but she's set me up on the lounge with ever...

I am about to instal 2x120w solar panels and have read on this forum that you should use 6 gauge wire (also called 6 B&S) as against 6 mm. Can someone tell me the difference and what does b&s stand for. Also, how can I tell what cable it is? Thanks in advance Patto.

Not sure if this should be in the joke section as it right on target for mine

Looking for a recommendation on what tyres give the best milage and handling on a Nissan Pathfinder. Not looking to go off road mostly tarmac running

I wonder why we are being censored on the site. Information given about a rally against the Carbon tax was information that people have a right to know about. The original topic was never political it was only information about a rally.It neither promoted or was against any party. Smacks of Big Broth...

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

While travelling homealong the H/way near Blackwater recently, I heard a woman 's voice on the 2 way, obviously a Wide Load Pilot... After a while, I thought....Wonder if that's CG, so I got on the 2 way and asked if it was ........she said yep it was. Now I'm wondering if it really was. I hope it was as I get...

Can anyone suggest a nice leafy park for couple of novices starting out on their first monthly excusion, about 2 to 4 hours north of Brisbane

Been looking at Badgers Caravan Reports and started wondering if any body has set up a similar system for reporting on CAMPS free camps locations. I find Badgers very helpful and would think the same for CAMPS would assist many of us Grey Nomads. Any thoughts. OR if it has already been done where ca...

ok so on our travels around the place i guess most of us like collecting things from places we've been and may pick up the odd shell and such when we're out wondering the country side,, but does anyone collect or look for gems and minerals and precious stones, or maybe even do the odd bit of gold detecting,...
