Being new to this caravanning journey, would like some tips on the protocol of 'happy hour' We are definitely not shy, but wonder why when people talk through the day but then at night you are not invited for drinks.

Recently on a trip to Alice Springs on a motorbike that takes 89-91 octane, I started topping up with Opal fuel once I hit NT. By the time I got to Alice i probably only had Opal in the tank.

No! I didn't buy a jeep. I bought a mining claim. I move onto the claim today, it's at Sapphire Queensland. Hoping to make my fortune or just having fun trying. Will also be a nice base for the winter months and still travel around. A few of you already know. Time to make it official as of today.
