Great swimming hole, bags of shady trees, nice level grassed sites and it's free. Signs say that the maximum stay is 48 hours and only one stay per...

Hi Everyone I'm back. My old nic was NannyMon. I'm a bit pressed for time at the moment but I will catch up with my posting soon. Take care.

I am busy writing an article about footwear for the "NOMADS" but I need to understand what your needs and requirements are? I require someone's experiences and "best outcomes". I also need to know where you purchase your footwear? Thanks Sally

As a senior citizen was driving down the freeway, his car phone rang. Answering, he heard his wife's voice urgently warning him, "Herman, I just heard on the news that there's a car going the wrong way on 280 Interstate. Please be careful!" "It's not just one car," said Herman....

The old man would shout, 'When I die, I will dig my way up and out of the grave and come back and haunt you for the rest of your life!' Ne...

Can anybody suggest the most user friendly and reliable gps for desert travel etc, rgds Gitsho

As of 01.07.09 Qld will no longer subsidise fuel by 8c per litre. Now here's a chance to compare fuel prices between states. I don't mean the ridiculous outback, way out fuel stops.

Greetings, I'm researching a 4WD fridge and I've done a search on here, but there is no reference to Evakool, the funny-looking yellow Esky with a screwed on refrigeration unit.

Had a nice week in Townsville, got the washing and shopping done. The humidity is a bit of a shock after so long inland. Off again tomorrow morning heading for Innisfail and then inland to Karumba via Croydon. Not sure how good the coverage is through the Gulf Country, so after I leave the coast, I may not...
