Although I am not a fan of the Australian team for reasons given in the past as to their carry on I do like watching cricket for the game itself and the skill of the players.

Just replaced electric heating element in my 2012 year model Truma b14 hot water unit with an 850watt element and after 1hour 15minutes the water is barely warm.

In many cases the weight of a van exceeds the weight of the tug and its travel on the road causes damage....

$56pn for two. $27 for one. Right on the ocean. Nice quite clear swimming spot. Bit cold at the moment. Expect it to get a lot more expensive in the warmer weather. No amenities. Dog friendly though.
