The sights you see when travelling can bring a smile to the dial. Went north to Dubbo last weekend and being a long weekend thought there would be heaps on the Newell Hwy. But no, quiet as a mouse, and only 1 cop car, that was in Parkes, a bullwagon and pulled the bloke up behind me. Not much to see on that trip...

Here in Vic we have a bloke with MND who has (together with his family) raised more than 100 million dollars over the last ten years to help find a cure for this horror disease. Neale Daniher is his name. He has MND. In the recent Kings birthday awards the top award went to a recently retired pollie. What wa...

I have just received our new Chinese Heater ex Amazon. As expected the metal Exhaust pipe is not long enough so I purchased a radiator hose ex Super Cheap which will allow me to extend the exhaust fumes from under the van to the outside on the offside.

I am a "young" 85-year-old and still trying to remember how I used to hit a golf ball a long way. Yesterday at my home club, I had a bad day score-wise. After 4 holes of play, I decided to pull out of the round. Reason, I was 12 over the course par after 4 holes. My handicap is 34. It should be LIV ( Roman for 54)...

Regional Queenslanders say electric vehicles worth it for fuel savings but challenges remain: He paid $72,000 for his EV and has driven 70,000 kilometres in the 18 months he's owned it. "If I'd done that same 70,000 kilometres in our old LandCruiser that would have been about an extra $35,000 just i...

Thanks for accepting us. We've just spent the last 14 years cruising on our 52 foot sailboat, but have decided to swallow the anchor and go land cruising. We intend do station work as we go as we have a farming background. Looking forward to inland travelling on some of the tracks. Just bought a Great Aus...

AFTER BEING MARRIED FOR 44 YEARS, I TOOK A CAREFUL LOOK AT MY WIFE ONE DAY AND SAID, "HONEY, 44 YEARS AGO WE HAD A CHEAP APARTMENT, A CHEAP CAR, SLEPT ON A SOFA BED AND WATCHED A 10-INCH BLACK AND WHITE TV, BUT I GOT TO SLEEP EVERY NIGHT WITH A HOT 25-YEAR-OLD GAL.NOW I HAVE A $500,000.00 HOME, A $45,000.00 CAR...
