All nicely settled at the Foreshore Van Park in Mallacoota. Just a hop step and a jump from home really. Beautiful weather today just jeans and a t-shirt until late afternoon. Sure beats the wind a cold we have had for the past few weeks. Didn't take Blue long to drop a line in the water. From local talk t...

Did anyone see the program Great Australian Doorstep on channel 7two this afternoon. It might not have been on in all areas.

We have been off-line for a week, have travelled from Katherine, West on the Victoria Highway (Met Jon and Hylda at Timber Creek, lovely morning!) Went thru Kunnanurra to Parry's Farm which was spacious and quiet, although not cheap. We left the caravan there, took the tent and went out to El Questr...

Myrtle is a sick lady, she's worn out. This is what Sam wrote on the invoice: Engine Breathing excessively. Beyond limits of PCV system. Engine worn. This is what he told me: You may get another 50 or 60 thousand ks out of her by using a good oil, one made for ageing motors. Don't buy a no frill shop brand nam...

Hi everybody. I’m hoping that some of you might be able to help me out with a request we have had from the Seven Network.
