Jimbo said in the weekly mailbag that he wouldn't get in one in case they crashed. Well, I have to say I've been in one - my daughter bought me a flight for my birthday a few years ago. They are expensive, about $400 but well worth it. The company I went with - Balloon Sunrise - were very safety conscious, co...

I told her to open it and she read that I owed $17.50 for non payment of toll on the Tullamarine Hway. I was going to pay it online cause I thought maybe we had passed a toll and not known. T...

Well we are now back at the Karinyup Waters Resort. Warm and a bit muggy today, even had a few beads of sweat while setting up the annex. The pool was a welcome intelude for about an hour. Therese went in today to work some shifts at work and got a call to see if she could pick up on tomorrow, so she is back at wor...

Hope all our Grey Nomad friends are staying dry and safe with all the rain in SE Qld and NSW at the moment - seems to be getting more widespread. Friends went down the coast - may get stuck there - Pacific Motorway got water over the road in some spots. Take lots of care.

I have just recieved my latest Caravan and Motor home magazine and to my distress I read that in Townsville there is a depressed Wombat who is needing lots of cuddles and attention, has anybody seen Wombat recently because this could be contagous and we would miss him terribly

Ted rang the number on the warrantee on Tuesday and faxed them the information. Today(Friday) we had...

Had AUSTRALIAN lamb on the Barbie with Landfall and the delightful Mrs. Landfall today. Food superb, company great, conversation congenial. In short we had a good time and it was lovely to meet you both. Catch up again soon. Thanks again for having us to your home.

Even one of my grandaughters has given me a photo of a wo...

In one of the earlier posts someone was mentioning difficulties in undoing wheel nuts because they were too tight. If you have a look in your maintenance handbook, it should give you the torque tension for your wheel nuts, i.e. Nissan Navara D40 - 83ft/lb. We deal with a Tyrepower dealer who torques m...

We have a coleman porta potti for sale if anyone wants it. It has never been used and is in Perth at the moment. About $75 would be a good price i think.

We are in Snug now for a week.; Not a bad van park, amenities are good although I might suggest bringing your own bath mat as the dry area soon becomes the wet area. No rain here, well not yet anyway. Someone told me that the take away in Snug made the best Thai food. Did I hear right, does anyone know. I think...
