    insurance

    RACQ wouldn't insure our van when we first got it. Must try them this time now that it is 9 years old and see if they will. Usually just go CIL
  3. Hi, webmaster - you might want to put AGM batteries instead of AGM as I thought someone had put one of our business reports here, not you were selling AGM batteries?
  4. How the hell do you turn the corner with that

    You are welcome to stay for a week, or a few days either side of gathering, just put down the dates you plan to stay for. Gum tree bush camp is designed for the over 50's crowd, we usually do not have children other than fur children at our gatherings. Powered (and watered) sites are $33 per night and there is a stay 7 pay 6 deal. There are huge bush sites with access to water, and power for all your conveniences The location serves as a perfect base to explore the Fraser Coast area. The township of Howard is just three kilometres away and has a great variety of shopping options. Dogs are welcome. Generators are not. And a restful stay is guaranteed in this peaceful setting where most people settle in early and make the most of a lay-in! They have a pizza with happy hour on a weekly basis. It is $5 per person for pizza nibblies it will be on during our stay, TBA. Amenities · Potable water available · Bins available · No kitchen · No showers · Pet Friendly · Open fireplace Please add your name and the dates you plan to attend. Australia Day Thursday January 26th we are planning an Aussie morning tea with fun and mildly competitive games such as toss the thong/ gum boot in the afternoon. We will organise a dinner on the Friday night, further information to come.
  6. Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson go on a camping trip. After eating their dinner around the campfire they retire to the tent to go to sleep. A few hours later Sherlock wakes up. “Watson, are you awake?” He asks. “Yes, sir. What is it?” Answers Watson. “Look up and tell me what you see.” Asks Holmes. “I see billions of stars,” says Watson. “And what does that tell you Watson,” asks Holmes. “Well,” says Dr Watson, “Astronomically, it tells me that there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets. Astrologically, I observe that Saturn is in Leo. Horologically, I deduce that the time is approximately a quarter past three. Theologically, I can see that God is all powerful and that we are small and insignificant. Meteorologically, I suspect that we will have a beautiful day tomorrow.” “Why? – What does it tell you, Holmes?” Holmes is quiet for a moment then says: “It tells me that someone has stolen our tent.”
  7. Thanks for the heads up 'Webby'. Our thoughts go out to Glenys and their children Angela and Melissa. Peter will be sorely missed by those that knew him.
  8. We have done two tours of Tassie. First one for three months Feb to May - not long enough. Next from Nov to well June as it turns out (COVID). It is expensive to get van and car that size over approx $1,800 to $2,000 return. Not sure what the new prices would be from Geelong though. Secondary Roads are narrow and you have to be organised to do as Sandra suggested, drop van and venture out but worth the trouble. Not sure of the state of free camps and National Parks since COVID. Some were still closed when we left in June 2020. We had a great time, and only missed the West Coast due to stupid fridge (fixed in Penguin). Went for another try and got as far as Waratah but snowing in December so gave it a miss. Certainly not a trip you would regret, you just need to make sure you book far enough out and have your return trip booked. Doesn't mean you can't move it, but if it gets busy and you haven't booked your return trip you have no hope of getting home. We prefer going during day on way over and night on way back. That was when you docked in Melbourne, presume it will be easier at new Geelong facility.
  9. It was late in the day when a fully loaded minivan pulled into the only remaining campsite. As soon as it stopped, the doors flew open and four children jumped out. They began to unload gear and worked feverishly to set up the tent. Next, the boys ran to gather firewood while the girls and their mother set up the camp kitchen area. The camper in the space next to them marveled to the children’s father, “I’ve never seen such teamwork nor a camp that was ready so quickly. I’m impressed.” The father turned to the neighbor and nodded sagely. “I have a system,” he said. “No one goes to the bathroom before the camp is set up.”
  10. Both of these have now been removed. Thank you for notification.
  11. No, can't say we have an our van is nine years old.
  12. If you have previously listed an item for sale and it has sold and still on the 'For Sale" list please advise so it can be removed. Our last clean up was 2017. Thanks
