I wrote earlier this year about a pair of Stone Curlews residing in the park. This season they had a bit of a clumsy start to the mating time. To start with they couldn't decide on the best location, and when they did some gherkin pinched the egg. The noise of protestation was deafening, leaving the pair...

A warning for those of you who may be regular Bunnings customers. This one caught me by surprise. Over the last month I became a victim of a clever scam while out shopping. Simply going out to get supplies has turned out to be quite traumatic. Don't be naive enough to think it couldn't happen to you or you...

I bet you are all going to think this is a dumb question, but remember we aren't born knowing these things! When we bought our new van last year it didn't come with a battery, so before we set off on the big one this year we had one installed. We went unpowered for a few days for the first time recently and it wo...

Well you've really gone and done it now TwoBob. How on earth am I going to get Guru away from here. For all you intrepid travellers: TwoBob said there was a little caravan park at Clairview. While the park itself isn't on the top of the tree the aspect is absolutely breathtaking. Crystal clear wate...

Dr. Epstein was a renowned physician who earned his undergraduate, graduate, and medical degrees in his home town and then left for Manhattan, where he quickly rose to the top of his field.

G'day, Reading the article on the front page reminded me that we spent a very pleasant week at the Kookaburra Caravan Park in Busselton WA in 2007. We found the park to be very nice, clean and close to the shops etc. There were plenty of Possums there at that time and I remember they had a ball jumping onto o...

Hi there, we have a Ford Ranger 3.0 TD, we have been told with a towing capacity of 3000Kg. We are looking for a van for extended trips and someone told us that we cannot tow anything that is over the 85% of the kerbweight (being the kerweight 1967Kg 85% means 1672Kg). It is correct? We would appreciate any...

This happened just outside a little town in Raleigh, Newfoundland, and even though it sounds like an Alfred Hitch**** tale, it's absolutely true! Charlie was on the side of the road hitchhiking on a very dark night in the middle of a terrible rain storm. There was no moon, it was pitch black, and there w...

New exercise routine. If you're over 40, you might want to take it easy at first, then do it faster as you become more proficient. It may be too strenuous for some . Always consult your doctor before starting any exercise program! SCROLL DOWN... NOW SCROLL UP.. That's enough for the first day. Great job...

Daddy's Poem Her hair was up in a pony tail, Her favorite dress tied with a bow. Today was Daddy's Day at school, And she couldn't wait to go. But her mommy tried to tell her, That she probably should stay home. Why the kids might not understand, If she went to school alone. But she was not afraid; She knew ju...
