Hope this fits within the rules of this group. Ive spent the past 6 winters poking around Aus in a Hilux motorhome with my wife - got to a lot of places, did a few laps. Its been great. In the odd hours on these trips Ive been mucking around with an iPhone app to help make our travels easier - essentially a to...

We have just returned to Perth after East Coast trip, I should have added this recommendation earlier. Due to operator error (me), I hadn't connected the Anderson plug correctly and when we got to our destination at Soldiers Point, NSW, I found the plug had been dragging on the floor and was ruined (lu...

Not really up to date with the latest weapons, not a war monger!!

Maybe Aussies should forget the Submarines and invest in Drones..........just saying "Swi...
