Just spent a happy hour or so looking back at our forum of years gone by. Some of those names brought back memories of the folks I passed the time of day with posts, Cruisin Granny, Glassies, Rocky Lizard, Desert Dweller ( whom I had a few discussions with and didn't agree most of the time! but our posts wer...

Anglers have a reputation for, let's say, stretching the truth, but I don't think anybody's 'the one that got away' fish is as big as this one: Largest-recorded freshwater fish caught, tagged and released in Mekong River, Cambodia [url]https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-06-21/world-s-l...

A woman was having a daytime affair while her husband was at work. One rainy day she was in bed with her boyfriend when, to her horror, she heard her husband's car pull into the driveway. 'Oh my God - Hurry! Grab your clothes and jump out the window. My husband's home early!' 'I can't jump out the window. I...

Better check...

bad luck

Just found this elsewhere on the forum, and have decided to put it up here as probably many people, like me, don't generally read everything that is posted in various places on the forum. Interesting that over 90% of travellers didn't know or didn't care that their vehicles were overloaded, unsaf...

I saw this article about the WWII history in WA: WWII history kept alive at heritage-listed Fortress Fremantle's Leighton Battery, a window on wartime Perth [url]https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-06-17/wwii-history-preserved-at-leighton-battery-fortress-fremantle/101139256[/...

To put it mildly a low down scum of the earth stuck in a caravan park after dark, parked for the night, connected power etc, only to sneak out before daylight without, thus stealing from the owner. I hope this person is not a member of this forum.

Cute vid.........

Basically most Covid-19 restrictions have now been removed Australia wide. Over recent months it seemed to have developed into a popularity contest between the States as far as ''getting back to normal''. All this in a situation where around 40 people are dying every day nationally, mostly the eld...

Start at Walla WallaAbout 314km and around 7 hours including a lunch stop at Lockhart. Lockhart is probably worth a day on its own, lots of different street art. Had never heard of Tootool and French Park, but they were on the way, so why not put them in. Tootool even had a WW2 Airstrip, which was the scene...

De mortuis nil nisi bonum dicendum est = Of the dead nothing but good is to be said - Chilon of Sparta c. 600 BC We assume a special attitude toward the dead, something almost like admiration for one who has accomplished a very difficult feat. We suspend criticism of him, overlooking whatever wrongs he...

a name please

North of the Gateway bridge, it seems that Queenslanders treat blinkers as an optional extra. May happen in other areas as well. I use to see this quite a bit in Sydney's Norhshore area from those driving European cars. Put it down that having the blinker stick on the right instead of the left confused t...
