Being Victorians, we are considering RACV total care for roadside assistance cover, for the van and tug. Would be interested to know if you think it necessary and if there are "better" covers available? All thoughts appreciated. Cheers Dianne and Stuart

for a while in down town Wonthaggi, Victoria (Sort of near Phillip Island) town of wind and rain. If anyone is passing through and would like to chat give a yell. I just enjoyed some great company at Greens Lake (no more on that ) but all good things come to an end.
