Thinking about how to get around this with maybe a cheap Lithium jump starter. Might burn the place down though. Thoughts? Aus...

If you need tyre or car service I can recommend JBR Auto 1/21 Lock Ave, Werribee. I needed a good secondhand tyre and from the phone call until I drove out of the business, I was treated with every courtesy. In this day and age it is great that some businesses put the customer first.

i had the unfortunate pleasure although pleasure probably not right of having a rear tyre on my motor home explode at 100 kph. Luckily I was able to pull it up without any further dramas. The tyre managed to damage some of the bodywork as you can see from the photo.

I've noticed there is quite a bit of tree felling going on around free camp sites, mainly because firewood is becoming scarce. Grey nomads may not be the main cause but I think grey nomads could be doing something to look after the places they enjoy. Some of these places are very special, trees take many...

Have just posted the following in Travelling with Pets. Our loved female Corgi passed away on 5th November. She was a gentle, friendly, wise and peaceful dog, who I am sure could tell time. A seasoned traveller she (and we) enjoyed many travels together. She is being and will continue to be missed.
