we live in NSW and will be travelling to Western Aust for 8 to 9 months. Whilst in WA both the tug and van need to be registered, which requires a mechanical inspection certificate. Can I just get the inspection done in WA or how should I handle this ? The renewal & CTP I can do online.

To maximise our experience, we need to replace the Journey wit...

Stayed at Baxter Rest area on the Nullabor last night way way down the back and while packing up this morning she walked past from way out the back of the camp further than I was.

Story in today's Daily Mail regarding drivers of so called heavy vehicles being fined in South Australia. One in particular was a Ford F-350.

It would make a really constructive thread, if we all put in ideas about reducing the weight of our rig, rather than going on about what we should have done. We need persons to contribute and ask, rather than feel bullied by some who just what to prove how knowledgeable they are to each other. So what abou...
