Has anybody heard of a person being fined for driving unregistered/registered vehicle because they had a NSW licence and was driving WA registered vehicle and towing a Victorian caravan which both had 11 month rego still on them. This person is an itinerate traveller. This happened in NSW.

The other half has got it into her head we should buy a chainsaw. I have just sold my petrol driven c...

If you are not sure whether or not you want to visit the Kimberley, have a look at the ABC's "Mystery Road". I saw it on Iview.
