One week to go before we fly out. Not looking forward to the Melbourne cold. But have bought a diesel heater on Ebay and it was delivered on Friday to people looking after the van. The installation will be my first job.

Since we retired 3 years ago & started travelling for a total of around 6 months per year we didn't realize just how much alcohol retirees were drinking.

Well folks our time here at Granite gorge is up and we plan to move on to Cooktown tomorrow.

Do all states have annual registration inspections for vans like NSW. Getting the new van into the servo at times, in 5 years time could cause the garage a pain in the neck. As Larry was just commenting on the cost of NSW Rego's. We may have to relocate interstate. Regards Hey Jim

I will be buying a small new gas barbeque for home, and plan to purchase an RV within the next year. So it makes sense, to me at least, to purchase a bbq that I can take with me on my travels. I would like a bbq that is capable of cooking a small roast, and if possible, even some home-made pizzas. I would apprec...
