In my town we had BP, Shell, Caltex, Neptune, Ampol, Amaco, Mobil, Golden Fleece and an old mechanics workshop still had Texaco signs from days gone by. What did your tow...

Due to a new interest we now often find ourselves in areas that do not see traffic very often, this may be driving to a remote location, or on foot in the bush. I have recently been considering what either of us would do in the case of an accident, or medical emergency, or if we just plain got lost. This start...

I had a look at two Avan Ovation motorhomes today, here in Rockhampton. They had an Ovation M3 and an Ovation M7 available for viewing. The M3 is smaller than what I am looking for, but the M7 was about right - size-wise. The one I looked at had a slide-out for the queen bed. I would very much appreciate a...
