Seen lots of threads mention how boring crossing the Nullabor was. Here is a link to Nullabor Links. The Worlds longest golf course, in our own back paddock. $60 for the card and you get a certificate at the end. But it is one heck of a way to break up the long journey. Tip.. Cut off top of plastic drink bottl...

Yer ... I know that I'm off on my favourite subject again ... but I just need to encourage all of you who travel anywhere near water, to go out & get yourself a kayak. Kayaks go with vans like soap with water. Her upstairs has just got me my second kayak for my upcoming 70th birthday!! It is a friend...

Driving to work this morning on the freeway, I looked over to my left and there was a woman in a brand new Commodore doing 100 km/h with her face up next to her rear view mirror putting on her eyeliner! I looked away for a couple seconds and when I looked back she was halfway over in my lane, still working on th...

Here is something to help make Gillard's speeches almost tolerable. Just print this page, distribute it to friends, and listen to her next speech (be sure to read directions at the bottom). Rules for Bull**** Bingo: 1. Before Julia Gillard's next televised speech, print your "Bull**** Bin...

This morning I had a meeting with a local Labour {would be} Federal Rep. The meeting was in no way connected to C/parks etc, but was concerning the Iconic Pier here in the bay, but soon the conversation turned to c/parks. The "would be" was bad mouthing free camping sites...the taking away o...

Sometimes, when I look at my children, I say to myself, 'Lillian, you should have remained a virgin..'- Lillian Carter (mother of Jimmy Carter)<><> I had a rose named after me and I was very flattered. But I was not pleased to read the description in the catalogue: - 'No good in a bed,...

Hi all, Cheryl & I are preparing to spend some time in the Gippsland area. Wondering if anyone has any knowledge of what the road between Lakes Entrance & Mallacoota is like. Not so much the surface but how twisty and hilly is as we are pulling a 23 Ft van. We may leave it at Lakes Entrance and pick i...

In one of the stores he picks up a mirror and looks in it.Not ever having seen one before, he remarked at the image staring back at him. 'How 'bout that!' he exclaims, 'Here's a...

This park is a homely, friendly experience. The well-travelled managers understand vanning and camping and present a clean park. It's adjacent to the town's water sport lake. You can walk all the way around on a concreted walking path, play in the water park on the opposite side of the pond, go water s...

There once was a man called.. Osama Who caused the U.S such a drama When they spotted his head They shot the pr##k dead Now that's what I call karma

New thread the other one was getting a bit worn. Well what a drama. Packed up at Moree and when pulling down the pop top I wrenched my right wrist. It is so sore have to rest it on steering wheel and hurts to pull on anything. Feels nearly like when I broke my left wrist about 2 years ago. So that was enough in it...

Just been in Blackall in outback Qld. We were interested to see the Big Ram, as the one at Wagin in WA was quite impressive. Unfortunately Blackall's specimen falls a long way short, it is neither big nor recognisably a ram. Pick the difference in the photos below!

Men are from Mars, women are from Venus - crap! Men would have been from Venus too but they got lost and were too pig-headed to read the map!

i have, it seems, lived long enough for my children ,or some of them at least to despise me i guess it doesn't pay to lay down the law to older children when they are visiting with thier children who run a muck in your home,, perhaps i'm from another time and place but i would have thought thatcontroling...
