Just wonderful, 10 in the morning and 36 degrees and aiming for 41. Not as bad as it sounds, virtually no humidity and I had a wonderful walk earlier alongside the Todd amongst all the gums

Last weekend I saw something at The Gun Show that sparked my interest. I was looking for a little something different for my wife ...Dana. What I came across was a 100,000-volt, pocket/purse-sized Tazer. The effects of the Tazer were supposed to be short lived, with no long term adverse affect on your...

Like many people, I've been getting calls from the ATO, Solar Companies, LED installers, Insurance Companies, Telstra, Bigpond etc. The callers have names such as Mike Jones, Frank Smith etc. who speak English with a very thick Indian accent. Sometimes the call says Overseas etc and never show a nu...

There are two drop toilets,one each end,some tables and fireplaces,plenty of native wildlife. Plenty to do or nothing,f...

Hello Can anyone recommend a good portable ice maker machine? The last one we had couldnt handle the heat.

Still makes you laugh............

I've arrived at Greens a couple of hours ago. I notice the new toilet block is about half way there. Very strange design with at least 7 doors facing down to the camping ground . Hopefully it will look better when finished .Not sure where the dump point will go. Will take photos tomorrow

HI to all. I will be traveling to Bairnsdale in Victoria next April for a Vietnam Reunion and want to avoid going through Melbourne if I can help it. On my last trip down that way ,I went the coast way down N.S.W and via Lakes Enterance. I want to ask if anyone one has towed a caravan ( 21 ft offroad) over the Om...

A woman from Sydney who was a tree hugging, vegetarian and anti-hunter purchased a piece of native bushland in northern NSW . There was a large gum tree on one of the highest points in her property. She wanted a good view of the natural splendour of her land so she started to climb the big gum. As she neared...

1. Two months ago I had a severe pain in my left thigh late one night. We thought it was a pinched nerve or could have been muscular although it felt like a severe DVT. I went to bed (we'll check in the morning) but a few hours later, had to call an ambulance as the pain was unbearable. Nothing was found in many...

Hi all, A few times here, and on the other forum, I have seen where people had problems unhooking their caravan from the tow ball. Mainly when the ground is uneven. This is due to not having enough clearance to get the jockey wheel in place. So some people run the van up on ramps. But this really just seems t...

Hi, We are back after a long absence. Its good to be here again. We sold up everything, even the house as it was in a small country town, and for medical reasons we had to be nearer hospitals and doctors at that time. We are now renting a place, as we have our two younger adult girls living with us. So we bought...
