The Ashes
(Preview)
I am really looking forward to the upcoming Ashes series which commences in a few weeks time in Perth. Although I am not a fan of the Australian team for reasons given in the past as to their carry on I do like watching cricket for the game itself and the skill of the players.

Road tax first caravans?
(Preview)
Apparently, a distance based Road User charge is to be phased in for EVs because those vehicles avoid petrol excise charges. Are we also going to see a similar charge applied to the use of caravans? In many cases the weight of a van exceeds the weight of the tug and its travel on the road causes damage....

Grey Nomads and their vans, not giving way to cyclists
(Preview)
So I went out on a local tour, last Monday for 5 days, with my dog, on a road heading west out towards Bingara from Bundarra, to camp for 4 days on the Gwydir, with my dog in his trailer. Had no issues on the ride out, it took me a day and half to get to my spot, so camped on the way, as I left at 1pm Monday afternoon...

I have just traversed the Melba Hwy from Yea to Yarra Glen.I played the new game of count the potholes. I counted 17 with four of them on the apex of corners. After consulting the rules of the game I found that, if I could miss all seventeen, that entitled me to throw darts at a picture of our Premier. Even th...
