Hi, Is anyone aware of either a website or FB page with lists of all events/fairs/festivals etc throughout Australian regional/country towns? It would be very handy when planning future trips to either coincide or avoid any such happenings, thanks in advance, Michael Ringland

Thinking of getting starlink but just want to check a few things any users may be able to help me with 1: can you make and receive phone calls with it? ie my satellite phone will not be necessary? 2: will it support Kayo (I am a sports viewing addict) 3: will it work in full cloud. Thanks in advance
