G'day everyone I am one happy caravanner. I watched Fred on Aurora channel last wednesday night and loved it.

What...

Hello All, I was reflecting the other day on a couple of events in my dim past. I left school in 1952 when I was 15, (what use was school, get out and earn a quid) a decision I have regretted more than once in the last 50yrs, and one of my first jobs was cabin boy on an ocean going tug operating out of Grimsby, UK....

Thought I'd start a thread for correcting common mistakes... like calling a median strip a "medium" strip. Median = middle. A median strip is the raised divider that runs down the middle of a road. Nothing to do with "medium". Another one is using "of" instead of &qu...

Everything is on hold for a couple of months. Off to NZ in 3 weeks for my nephews wedding. Had originally declined the invite as really couldn't afford to go. My sister from Geelong rang last night. Her hubby can't go now and would I go in his place. She begged, said if I didn't go with her she wouldn't go on h...

I had been to Blue Mountains many years ago, and this is the first time back with the caravan. Still a bushwalker and phtographer's dream.

Glad there was a discussion about snakes the other day on this forum. Never seen one before today. Went to Mt. Mee north of Brisbane. The smell of the wet forest is very enchanting.

I have read other posts about dash cameras and have looked at several on ebay etc. Some reviews indicate that quality of pics is not good on some cameras. I have just looked at one from Jaycar ($199) and was hoping someone on here has one and can report on quality, please.ThanksPatto.

Currently in Naracoorte and it is HOT! Some vague notions running thru my overheated brain trying to convince me to run the van off a pier, buy an MX5 and create my own breeze. Irrational in the extreme, must be the heat.
