Well, the 12V re-wire of My Avan and Prado has commenced and boy has it been hot and a bit difficult running cables in tight, safe places. My mate and I have actually got further than we planned in this the first day so we are both very pleased with ourselves. New 6 B&S cable has been run from battery of...

We usually view the NSW RTA (Live Traffic) site to view 'floods', 'fires' and road conditions. It's also nice to view their road cams and see what the Sydney traffic is like. However, in the past and today we have found their 'Fire' site is often misleading. As an example, on their site, they reckon...

If there are any of our Nomads heading in this direction, although I would doubt it, the following news item on ABC radio could be of interest. "The temperature in Oodnadatta yesterday, (14th) was 47 deg and the roadhouse could only serve petrol between 11.00am and 3.00pm as the fuel evaporated...

Hi all, what do bus owners use or recommend as stabilisers for a bus when stationary, to reduce movement from wind and getting in and out? We don't need levellers to get it level, we use timber for that, but something to stop the rocking. What suggestions, where might we find such a thing, and any idea on...

Hi all we are travelling to Tasmania in January 2013 and read that fuel containers need to be empty of fuel and filled with water. So this poses a couple of questions... Can you refill the containers unleaded and diesel with fuel again? and what to do about generators. Maybe easier to buy new containers...

I couldn't decide where this post should go but wanted to advise that the dump point that used to be in the Riverside Park at Moruya has been re-located to Shore St near the Bowling Club. It is a council dump point and it's re-location has taken it away from near a children's playground. It might be a bit ha...

Hi all, our daughter and son in law thought they'd have a quiet holiday in Tassie. Today they went to Port Arthur and then went to head off for Hobart, you can guess the rest, spending the night at a fire refuge at Nubeena, all safe but very worried parents. Sue & Steve

I was reading another thread about rego labels, etc for NSW vehicle regos. This is a simple tool to help identify if a vehicle is registered in NSW. https://myrta.com/regcheck/ Follow a couple of prompts and you can get a few details on a vehicle. Daryl

When I was heading to my sisters at Tin Can Bay, I detoured through Pomona/Kin Kin Road, as I often do. But I stupidly went by Counter Road which is very rocky and rough. When I arrived at Sis', bil noticed water coming from the tank. I don't use the tank very much, because of the extra weight, but I do put 10...
