I estimated there had to be about 80 semis all up. I know there were a lot from WA but I think there were also a lot of semis f...

I am in the process of giving the van a good clean out and have an issue with those hideous black plastic window openers you have to slide before you wind out the window.

She did this religiously and lived to the ripe old age of 103. She left behind 14 children, 30 grandchildren, 21 great...

In tomorrow's Townsville Bulletin, there is an article about charging $10-15 a vehicle to stay at the now free camps North of the city. They are conducting a survey to gauge the feelings about the proposed change. Currently the vote seems to be around 30/70 for/against, with comments why turn these p...
