No ute, I don't like utes, they're OK on a farm but not for me. So, after much consideration I've narrowed it down to: Holden Trailblazer Holden Colorado 7 As far as I can see the Trailblazer is an update to the Col7 - both have the same engine and gearbox (updates aside) and tow limits and sort of look the sa...

A woman was enjoying a good game of golf with her girlfriends. "Oh, no!" she suddenly exclaimed. "Look at the time! I have to rush home and fix dinner for my husband! He'll be so pissed if it's not ready on time." When she got home, she discovered all she had in the fridge was a wilted lettuce leaf, an egg - an...

One hot summer night in 1960, Steve had his first date with Susie. He went to pick her up and her mum answered the door. She invited him in and asked him what they planned to do on their date. Steve replied that theyd probably see a movie then get a burger. Susies mum said: Well, Susie really likes to screw. S...

We are picking up stumps and moving from Horsham, VIC to Bowen, QLD in January with the above creatures. It's probably going to be hot. I'm thinking of the fish in as big an Esky as we can spare, filled to the top, in a drip tray, with a battery operated bubbler. Ella the Corella has a nice new traveling cage...

We are planning a trip to Stanage Bay in April, any tips on do's and don'ts? We'll be towing a 20 ft. off road van, water carrying capacity 200 litres plus 4 jerry cans for extra water. Duration of stay 10 days so water in storage won't be enough, has anyone sourced water there? What ( if any ) are the toil...

The van is in and done within three hours with help unhooking and hooking up. I first went there about three years ago and have since go...
