We are on the road now and before we left home we had a garage sale. It opened our eyes to how greedy humans can be. I have never experienced what material things mean to some people.They were like a pack of vultures (maybe that as a little harsh)but if this is what people are like I would prefer to have nothi...

Dont normally play with the internet, but was wondering if an article I read on corrugations in the 60s was still current and came across this road report for the Barkly, Central, Katherine and top end , might be handy for some of you heading north http://www.ntlis.nt.gov.au/roadreport/obstructi...

Just found "Pickles.com.au", a motor auctioneer, has a caravan and motorhome auction coming up. Its at Milperra, NSW on 01/08/09 If you are in the market for a new rig, may be a good opportunity. They also have "online" bidding, for those that can not attend. Worth a look.

I heard a radio interview today with one of the two Sydneysiders who crossed the Tasman from Oz to NZ in a double Kayak. What a feat and adventure, listening on how they answered the call of nature was humorous to say the least. See link below for some detail. http://www.crossingtheditch.com.au/...
