Yuu're right Oma well done. Here's a pic of the whole shed. Folk planning to visit the Dig Tree should be aware that you might spend an hour or two in this "information Booth" before getting to the tree. I think entry is by $11 per car in an envelope at the gate. Fried Rice -- Edited by Fried Rice...

For some years Carol has used an iPhone, and now also has an iPod, and an iPad she is what you would call well hooked.At work I am responsible for a fleet of about 120 sm...

Hi all, thought I'd share with you a modification to our pop-top caravan. We love the feel of a pop-top with the windows in the pop zipped down to allow the outside in, a cooling breeze in summer, the view of the tree tops - but, to let the light in when you're away in colder weather, as we are at the moment,...

Hi On Monday we decided to go to Kroombit Tops National Park to see the site of this plane wreck. It is a long slow drive from Monto of about 110 Kim's taking about three hours to get there. The roads are badly sign posted. Once there it is quite amazing to think that it took 49 years to find it. The story behi...

We are about to go on a six week tour with our van. I thought we might stay at some show grounds on the way but my husband says he read somewhere that you can only stay there if you are in a group and are actually involved with the show. Can anyone tell me?

Hi, My husband and I are thinking of taking a year off work to go caravanning around Australia to reguvinate before we start on the next phase of our life.

Hi. I am preparing to do a run around the Qld outback (western area) and am wanting to fit what I call water reservoirs each side of the roof racks. The large diameter plastic drainage pipe type.
