I do love a stoush! About 10 days ago, a certain Perth dealer advertised a 2008 Ford Ranger automatic with canopy, 72,000-odd kms for $23,990. This is the vehicle I have been been looking for and it ticked all the right boxes. I thought this was a very good deal and got in touch with them, keen to buy. Oh...

We are heading into Kakadu in a few days and If you don't mind I would like to pick your brains. We are looking for a nice camping area within the park to take out caravan (which is definately not an off-road one) The sites on the net that I looked at don't mention if camp sites are accessible by caravan. It wo...

This morning (Sunday) I heard from a bloke who overheard another fella telling somebody else that he heard on good authority that it was -8 at Wondeccla at 0500hrs this morning. I didn't argue the point as we had ice on the grass all over the sho...

At long last, received clearance from the quacks that I can travel again, albeit at an easy pace and not too far from Home, but it's a start, was starting to believe that last Nov was my last trip.

OK so I've been on the road for a little while now and one of the things I've learned is what stuff I haven't got that I need - or, more precisely what stuff I've got that I need more of. Two such items are fresh water hose (food grade, obviously and I need another 10m at least) and grey water hose - preferably...
