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...

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....

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.

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...
