Their is a link in the topic on merging traffic [ NSW hand book ] . In the section on number plates their is no mention on the height from the ground,[ the old 1300mm rule]. I know that the subject has been a hot topic in the past, I wonder why is it not mentioned.

Looked at a retirement village near Toowoomba on the weekend. House prices for a 3 bed, 1 bath 2 toilets in the area is around $350k to $450k. For a 2 bedroom villa, 1 bath 2 toilets the entry fee is $300k. For this amount you do not own the building or the land but merely purchase what they call a lease whi...

I did my first free camp, last night, at Forbes. The place was packed. It has trees, bins and water, but no loos. It would have been just fine if it wasn't for the noise from someone's generator going all night. Is this common with free campers? It wasn't next to me, thankfully, but was loud enough that...
