I'm thinking of buying a Matilda Clancy 2001, petrol, manual. Does it make a difference touring, regarding petrol verses diesel. And is it better with 2 wheels at the rear verses 4. Thanks Helen

On the south side and on the north side and in the middle, I am trying to think of a place that would be convenient for all to get to and have a chinwag and perhaps a drink or two over the weekend. I was thinking Saturday or maybe even Friday, of course we ca...

I'm on Newstart and traveling. The girls at Centrelink suggested I ask my gp to fax a medical certificate to them so I wouldn't have to attend their 'help me find a job' interviews. This has worked well for 6 months but my gp says I have to see him or get a certificate from another gp. He's in Perth and I'm in...

We were at the lights in Ararat, sitting behind a caravan, when I noticed Grey Nomad stickers and a number plate attached to the van. They had come through Elmhurst and turned left towards Melbourne. Made my day!!
