Is it normal for a fridge (Dometic) to turn of in the middle of night when on gas? Most times it will restart itself but occasionally it won't. I have asked a guy at a caravan place and he thought that was normal. It can be of putting sometimes waking up in the middle of the night hearing it going click click....

Today is the aniversary of the last episode of "Blue Hills" by Gwen Meridth in 1976. I was able to listen in at work...This serial gave way to some great expressions, in legal circles if a case was going to drag on it became known as a Blue Hills affair, and slang for breakfast cereal is ubitqui...

Are you a solo traveller or just thinking about setting off on the adventure of a lifetime on your own? Do you want to ask some questions of those who have gone before, or perhaps to offer some tips and advice. Are you looking for someone to share a leg of your journey with? Or do you just want to touch base wi...

Hi Webmaster, Am quite alarmed - I googled Forensic Services Police Bush Safari & found a post that I had provided in response to a question on this forum. I was not expecting that my comments should be available in the public domain. It is OK for this site & people who access it, but not for the ge...

Looking at buying a S/H 2000 model Millard Challenger 16ft. The dealer quotes a tare weight of 1100 kg but the rego states 1200kg which I feel is more the mark . Owning to the forward kitchen the ball weight gets up to around 125 kg . Looks great but weight may kill my 2.5 lt Subura Outback so still in th...

G'day all and especially Dave06, Well we are back from our trip to Kalbarri in WA, it's only anout 700 K's from where we live in Rockingham south of Perth.

Don't wish to start a Blackfella bashing hour as I know and respect a lot of black fellas but after reading the GAFA whale watching post ( posted while I was away in the NT ) it brings home how much we give up and get bugger all in return. While visiting the Darwin Casino I was installing my obligatory...

Newspaper article.....It is important for men to remember that, as women grow older, it becomes harder for them to maintain the same quality of housekeeping as when they were younger. When you notice this, try not to shout at them. Some are over-sensitive and there's nothing worse than an over-sens...

Behind every wheel there's an accident waiting to get you . With rocket scientist like this female out there it could be closer than you think . If this wasn't such a sad individual it would be funny you couldn't script write a movie like this

For anyone looking for an adrenalin rush I can recommend v8 super cars. I did 8 laps in a commodore out at Mallalla raceway this afternoon, oh boy was it fun. You can either drive yourself with a pro driver sitting next to you or have them take you around. Manual and automatic, holden or ford available....

A pastor concluded that his church was getting into very serious financial troubles. While checking the church storeroom, he discovered several cartons of new Bibles that had never been opened and distributed. So at his Sunday sermon, he asked for three volunteers from the congregation who...

Suppose that every day, ten men go out for beer and the bill for all ten comes to $100. If they paid their bill the way we pay our taxes, it would go something like this: The first four men (the poorest) would pay nothing. The fifth would pay $1. The sixth would pay $3. The seventh would pay $7. The eighth woul...

No Crowhursting is a phrase I hadnt heard before. It means dont send home cheerful false messages when things are going horribly wrong. Next month it will be 40th anniversary since Donald Crowhurst set out in his hopelessly inadequate boat to sail around the world single handed non-stop. He was a you...

The Pope was finishing his sermon. He ended it with the Latin phrase, "Tutti Homini" - Blessed be Mankind. A women's rights group approached the Pope the next day. They noticed that the Pope blessed all Mankind, but not Womankind. The next day, after His sermon, the Pope concluded by sayin...

G'day all. My DH and I are in the process of readying our too large house for sale, after which we may be homeless for a short time while we search for the "perfect" escape vehicle. Like many others, we can't afford the vehicle until we sell the house. The plan is on course. We have the laptop and...
