We're about to head back East across the Nullarbor and we have heard that SA takes fresh fruit and veg off you at Ceduna (which is pretty bizarre, as WA takes them off you when you head west, what, do the two states get worried about sharing germs??). The link to the info on the SA govt website is broken, so I...

I have just noted that the major component parts from Dick Smiths have come down in price which may be of interest to the DIY GN's out there . In addition I al...
