ADog's Purpose (from a 6-year old). Being a veterinarian, I had been called to examine a ten-year-old Irish Wolf hound named Belker.

Many thanks to all for advice regarding a tow vehicle. Finally settled on one, a 2005 Series 100 diesel manual (4 Door) Landcruiser. The deciding factor(s) was that it came with Factory Bull Bar, Water Tank, Cargo Barrier and built in drawers and cupboards. It's an ex rental and a bit long in the Kms...

Next Monday we head off after six months of planning and problems (see my previous post on A frustrating journey). I'm finally allowing myself to get a bit excited as I must admit I'd become cynical about going anywhere as our bank acc dwindled with seemingly never-ending financial obstacles. We...

Thought I'd share a little of our journey in getting our coaster registered.

Apparently NSW had just bought in a new rule that motorhomes bought from interstat...
