Wish I put more effort in studying paper & cardboard planes in primary school. Waxed paper or cardboard is very difficult for radar to see. Paper planes vs $50m metal planes. Paper wins!

Maybe I am showing my age,but does anyone remember the games we used to play in the streets when we were young,like. Paper chase,Poison ball, rounders,hopscotch,hide and seek,ect. And when the street light came on,time to go home for tea.

Yep, 31/8/23 is the last day of winter. Just woke up to very thick fog and freezing cold After a thunder storm last night. It's nice to know I will now be waking up to sun shining, nice and warm with clear blue skies from tomorrow. Enjoy but keep safe out there everyone.

Many country towns that I visit in my travels are slowly dying, and many of their resudents are trying hard to make a living.

Until today I didnt realy put much thought into this new phenomenon of people being forced to live in alternate accomadation.

Can anybody help identify this piece of equipment that is on display in a WA small town museum? The old chap who volunteers at the museum says that he's been trying for years to identify it. The handles are about 18 (450mm) long and one appears to be adjustable in length, but there is a strange hook on th...

Rather curious, I find, how many Grey Nomads do not identify by First Name on this Forum and choose to remain "Anonymous" behind Avatars and Pseudonyms. I tend to seek a First Name when responding to posts, but hey, I may be old school.
