Well we have done it. Bought a house in Buderim, moved in and looks like we are grounded, for a few months anyway. If anyone lives in the area we would really like to meet you. Also happy for visitors to the area to pop in if they'd like a cuppa, or, and a chat.

Hi, opened my van today to get some things out and it was so hot inside. 35 degrees outside and with cover on van and all locked up felt heaps hotter in the van. All the windows are shut so no air movement at all. What do others do to reduce heat in stored van over summer? I don't have a shed or carport available...

If you are on the Sunshine Coast, and looking for a dog sitter, for a day or a week, we recommend Amanda. She took our boy (Akuma, 14 week old kelpie) and he had a wow of a time with Amanda and her two miniature schnauzers. Her yard is well-fenced and dog friendly, her home is also dog friendly, and on meetin...

The trailer would contain a Suzuki Jimny, a 250cc trail bike plus a 12' tinny...

I have seen the new Chief and had the hand over. Just peeeeerfect. My choices in colours in and out have exceeded my expectations. Why the bugga and one more sleep?

The big day has arrived. Slight delay as the 9.30am handover has been delayed and is now 11.30am. Nooooo problem. It just means I will get to Greens Lake (the testing grounds) and fun place in Central VIC late afternoon now. Spose it gives the local natives more time to cut the grass down lakeside Ma...
