New to this site, but have been looking for too long without any action on my part! I have travelled around this great Country most of my life, but mainly roughing it. Because I have friends in Arnhem Land and want to visit there one last time. I have decided to invest in a 4x4 camper. The wet season will...

Trying to work out the border crossing declaration. Heading to Qld from Canberra with our van next week. Do you tick the cross border resident box? How long does it take to be approved?

This time last year we were up in the wide bay Qld area. At the later part of 2019 we became home bound due to illness. This year has been the same due to the Chinese Virus. But now!!! We are all set to head off for a few weeks bush camping and staying at a couple of Farm Stays. 1st Camp is the Nomads Rest which is...

On those nights when you dont feel like cooking, you cant go past a cheesy potato Galette. This crispy galette is so easy to make with only four ingredients you most likely already have lying around in your kitchen. Pair it up with a nice piece of steak or some steamed veggies and enjoy! If youre looking t...

Emailed to me. I am over 60 and the Armed Forces thinks I'm too old to track down terrorists. You can't be older than 42 to join the military. They've got the whole thing ass-backwards. Instead of sending 18-year olds off to fight, they ought to take us old guys. You shouldn't be able to join a military uni...

It snowed last night... 8:00 am: I made a snowman. 8:10 - A feminist passed by and asked me why I didn't make a snow woman. 8:15 - So, I made a snow woman. 8:1...7 - My feminist neighbour complained about the snow woman's voluptuous chest saying it objectified snow women everywhere. 8:20 - The gay couple l...

This is another "Don't Camp Here" - Lake Liddell caravan Park. We made the mistake of going there, paid our money at gate/reception and duly parked down by the lake at a powered site. After we unhitched and set up a camp, we strolled over to a sign near the waters edge. Absolutely horrified at advice on...

The wiring harness for the right seat of the second seat row may be damaged if the seat is moved along the guide rail. For vehicles equipped with rear side airbags, the side airbag for this seat might not deploy as intended and the driver may not be informed if the seat occupant has not fastened their seat...

A couple took in an 18-year-old girl as a lodger. She asked if she could have a bath, but the woman of the house told her they didn't have a bath, although if she wanted to, she could use a tin bath in front of the fire....... "Monday's the best night, when my husband goes out to darts," she said. The girl agre...

Possum3 has often mentioned the CMCA in positive terms and given I've frequently seen their logo on dump points to which they have contributed I thought I'd take a look at their website with a view to joining ($44 per year + $16.50 joining fee). https://www.cmca.net.au/ One thing which concerned me a...

I just discovered that an application of vinegar to rusty tools will make it heaps easier to get rid of said rust. There are quite a few you tubes about this, but it has worked a treat on a small project for me. Paint on vinegar, leave a few minutes and sand off with wet and dry paper initially, then wire brus...
