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...

A blonde returned home from work and was shocked to find her house ransacked and burgled. She called the police immediately to report the crime. The police operations centre broadcast the call on the channels and a K-9 unit patrolling nearby was the first to respond. As the K-9 officer approached the...

The owner told him to pick a number from 1 to 10. If he guessed correctly, he would get his free sex. Paddy guessed 8, and t...

Just looking for tips about travelling with a van behind a Pajero from Cooma to Bega via Brown Mountain. I have travelled the road before a couple of times in a car with no van and recall it being steep and windy so am looking for comments in experiences with a 2400kg van on behind. Any comments would be app...

came across one of the stories of S. Kidman and his Cattle Empire. We get Utube on our large home T.V. and I thought that it was a interesting sort of documentary of the man who created an empire. It goes for 50 min, so if you have the time have a look. Jay&Dee https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GvHKV...

I am over 70 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 unit until you...

After carefully removing the frame I more or less accidently found that lifting the window 'glass' panel straight up allows it to separate from the frame. That means that a replacement 'gla...
