Just found "Pickles.com.au", a motor auctioneer, has a caravan and motorhome auction coming up. Its at Milperra, NSW on 01/08/09 If you are in the market for a new rig, may be a good opportunity. They also have "online" bidding, for those that can not attend. Worth a look.

I heard a radio interview today with one of the two Sydneysiders who crossed the Tasman from Oz to NZ in a double Kayak. What a feat and adventure, listening on how they answered the call of nature was humorous to say the least. See link below for some detail. http://www.crossingtheditch.com.au/...
