Air beds

For those of you with a tent, and those who can remember... We have found that when sleeping on the blow-up mattress all our body heat seems to go into the ground underneath it, and we are cold even on a warm night. Have tried putting a rug under it which improved it a little. We used to have one of those self-...

Grumpalians. It was only meant as a joke
(Preview)
Sorry about that. By being a Grumpalian, it meant that many of us can look back, and in my case, remember collecting, and taking soft drink bottles to the green grocer. Collecting beer bottles for the "bottle-o". Newspapers for the butcher, and horse s**t for the local gardners. Thinkin...

Another great spot to visit in the top of WA
(Preview)
Kununurra is a beautiful town. Then there's the Bungles. However, when travelling between these two, take the time to go to Wyndam. It has a wonderful history. A great little museum, but best of all, the Five Rivers Lookout. If you are dragging a van, leave it in town. It is an easy drive for ordinary ca...

This was in todays paper. I will type out the whole story, surprised me!! Residents are being encouraged to say Triple Zero instead of Triple O to avoid confusing young people.
