Gday... Cheers - John

With most of us being around the same age and in early retirement, I thought I'd enquire about peoples experiences and views on Retirement villages. I've had a couple of tentative looks at the possibility. Presently I'm open to all ideas. However when it comes to these villages, I just dont reall...

Arizona bikers were riding South on the US-93 when they saw a girl about to jump off the Hoover Dam Bridge. So they stopped. George, their leader, a big burly man of 53, gets off his Harley, walks through a group of gawkers, past the StateTrooper who was trying to talk her down off the railing, and says, "...

a simple question, will a 149watt fixed solar panel be enough to charge 2 100amp hr batteries?

Does any-one know where one can get Fiat Ducato keys cut at a reasonable price ? My friend doesn't have a spare, and doesn't want to spend around $700 for one. I think she can get one cut for a lot less, but she's been quoted about that figure by the Ducato Dealer. Cheers, Sheba.

Can anyone recommend the Aussie caravan covers or let me know what they are like. Thank you

Hi all, I have been reading your forum for a while and have enjoyed reading many interesting topics. I am building a setup on my 100 series Landcruiser, with the help of my son and am looking foward to travelling this beautiful land. Nice to meet you all :)

An angry husband stormed into the kitchen and walked directly up to his wife. Pointing a finger in her face, he said, From now on, I want you to know that I am the man of this house, and my word is law! I want you to prepare me a gourmet meal tonight, and when Im finished eating my meal, I expect a sumptuous dess...

We are thinking of a small dog As we travel full time and mainly stay in showgrounds and free camps. And one we can afford to buy, not cos...

not sure of the spelling, but this is just lamb in a white wine and egg sauce. Fabulous with a good crusty bread and a bottle of Shiraz. 6 forequarter lamb chops cut down the middle to make 12 smaller pieces. 6 glasses (yes 6) of good white wine, chateau cardboard is ok. 5 eggs chicken stock, pepper and salt...

Hi all, I have a week on in mid oct and and heading west. I'll be one up and only likely to spend a night at each place. I don't expect to disconnect the van at all during my travels. My original plans have fallen through to head to forbes but at this stage I still plan to check out parkes (dish), dubbo (zoo) an...

The only caravan park on the beach at Broome.

You have to stop and admire these trees and there presence in such a harsh environment.

A kangaroo kept getting out of his enclosure at the zoo. Knowing that he could hop high, the zoo officials put up a five metre fence. Surprisingly, he was out the very next morning, happily jumping around the zoo. A 10-metre fence was then put up, but again, he got out. When the fence was 20 metres high, a c...

Quick question, is there a colour code for the Anderson plug (mounted on the RV) that a portable panel will plug into.

Got an email yesterday from another forum , prompting me to email the owners of a park in WA voicing concerns over the fact that they were prompting the local council to prosecute a traveller that was fined $100 for pulling over and taking a nap from driving fatigue. The charge was it was a no camping area...

A church is handing around the donations box. To entice more donations, the priest says: Whoever donates the most money for the church can choose three hymns at the end of the service. The box makes its way back to the Priest and he looks through it. Shocked, he pulls out a cheque: Who donated $1000?! An o...

They have a new website: http://www.mole...
