Have been into the background for font size and changed it to 150% but only toolbars etc have gone big. Anybody know what else I can do?...

After five weeks farm sitting at Delungra - a heard of Braham cattle, a mob of Dorpler sheep, milking a jersey cow called Yvette, collecting eggs from various chooks, feeding Dougal the deaf dog and Moggie the mongrel cat, we are on the move. We move out of our cosy farm house back into the caravan (tha...

We arrived at Gnoorea Point WA (40 mile beach) about 40Km south of Karratha yesterday. It's a spot we have visited off and on over the last 12 years. There's not a lot there but fishing can be fruitful and it's a pleasant camping area right on the coast, where many have spent up to 3 months during the wint...

Just wondering how many people flat tow a 2010 Suzuki Grand Vitara behind their motorhome. Mine is a Longreach which has been fitted with a redarc 24v to 12v trailer converter. If I leave the dummy key in the ignition in the accessories position overnight the Suzuki battery goes flat. Is there a way of...

Hi all just purchased a van with a combo and have been told to use Napisan as an alternative to other chemicals. Wondering how much I would use and if you need to dissolve it first and I am assuming it goes only into the collecting tank and what is best to use in the top tank? Also should you use the Thetford t/...

We are leaving Port Augusta soon to head up the Centre, and it was suggested to us that the showgrounds in the Alice are a good place to stay. Can anyone vouch for this?

we are in Winton at the moment going onto Cloncurry sometime soon. Not sure if we should be waiting for these strong winds to disappear before heading off. I think they would be behind us pushing us on but is it safe to travel with a van in such winds. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

The Karratha shire and state government have ruled that in the Karratha and Roebourne shires that the maximum stay @ places like Cleavaville will be 28 days only, so the GN'S that used to stay 3-4 months be aware before you plan your trip, cheers.
