Hi folks, We're new members looking at doing a nine month trip round Oz. We've heard that house insurance becomes invalid if you are away for more than three months at a time.

What is actually needed is a place where the whole range of facilities are centralised in one spot.Ranging from repairs,installations,accessor...

Well I beat the water to foam with Bomber A's and soft plastics to no avail. A fairly local bloke, who knew the dam well arrived and as we chatted he said "if I get a Ba...

We ended up flying to Bris for Christmas, after my partner had a health hiccup, and while it was lovely to be with family, we are just SO glad to be home in warm dry sunny Canberra! My heart goes out to all those in Qld enduring such constant rain and flooding. Hope everybody is safe and well.
