Advice...

Recently Pat and I drove over from Adelaide to Torquay towing our van with an Avis Troopy. Due to our inexperience of towing a large van and the effect of semi's sucking us in, travelling in the same direction I did most of the driving, as men do. Well I decided to return the Avis back to Adelaide without a b...

To all GNs who may be adversely affected by the current rain and or floods we hope than you can stay safe and dry. So many have family in the affected areas that they must be worried for them. Fingers crossed that that the drought has broken for farming families, without too much heartache.

Preliminary notice that up to 40mm of rain is being predicted thru the area from tonight. Sat 4/9. Anything over 25mm will make it unsuitable to get in, as it has just dried out from 105mm received over last 3 weeks. This quantity of rainfall will also bring another plague of mosquitoes as happened ear...

Hiya All, I got delivery of the van yesterday ...............what a great feeling. She's not new (1988) but I left the pop top up overnight to see how she took to the horrid weather we have been having in Adelaide the last few days (very bad winds and heavy rains) but she pulled up great. No leaks...........
