I haven't purchased from this business and probably won't, going by some of the experiences here. Despite claims by the proprietor that some issues are being sorted the underlying message doesn't seem to be sinking in and this is why both over the counter and online retailing has a bad...

Condor, Dometic make a few 3 way power models. I've never used one so I can't vouch for them but as they are Waeco's parent company I'd assume similar quality and performance levels. I just thought it'd be nice for 3 way power in Waeco's monster models. Gas seems to be limited to the medium...

I've owned a Waeco CF80 for about four years with no issues. On the upside:- Reliability, good temperature controller, thick insulation, dual zone (fridge and freezer in one unit), well supported and spare parts readily available. On the downside:- Bloody heavy with or without food/drink...

Holtermann used huge plates for his photos and this will explain the high resolution. When Holtermann built his estate and mansion in North Sydney part of the mansion was a tower where he spent time taking panoramic photos of the Sydney skyline. The camera used for this work used plates of 5' x...

There is a clear distinction between some simple respect for the bush and the ideology of the loose cannons some people keep voting into the Senate cross-benches. I think one is doing enough simply to leave a campsite the way it was before one arrived. Little is more aggravating than campers...

No, because the exhaust from vehicles is burnt at a higher temperature and we don't have the cars on the footpath with the exhaust pipes forcing the smoke in our direction. Unless you are a life-long non-smoker you can't have any idea of how offensive it is to cop someone else's smoke in your face.

Sorry guys but I support the ban. I am sick and tired of breathing everyone's cigarette smoke and am looking forward to the day it is banned on the footpaths and in parks and so forth. I am also sick and tired of smokers (perhaps not all of them but most) just dumping their butts wherever they...

I saw two on the Bridle Track near Hill End about four weeks ago. This was the second one.

I've always found the typical two burner stove either flimsy or too small for frying pans. These days I use a single burner directly on the gas bottle for small jobs and for bigger, heartier meals I have a Zeigler and Brown barbeque, a lot of people call them Ziggies. They are like a Weber Q but...

I went from hurricane lamps to gas lamps to electric with standard fancy-round or pilot lamps and then to electric with 4 watt LED lamps which throw out about as much light as a standard 60 watt lamp. I am sold on these because I can run them for days on a single charge (I have a 36AH battery...

I can confirm the Bridle Track is still closed due to the landslip at Monaghan's Bluff. Apart from the track being closed for about a kilometre either side of the missing section of road the Bridle Track is still open and all camping areas and the Randwick Hole fishing spot are still accessible...

Where's the freight train to shift it all?

A mate of mine was riding his bike on the M7 bikepath today and confronted two brownies, both around 1m long. Much of the land along the M7 was once farmland (and not as far back as one might imagine) and the snakes decided to hang around and have become accustomed to living around urban homes...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_volcanoes_in_Australia Yes and some are technically active though none have erupted since 1788 (that we know of).

Just one more... A Tiger at the foot of Mt Bogong, Victoria about six years ago. It was coiled up when I passed it in the car but by the time I'd taken three or four photos it decided it was warm enough to try and get me so I backed off and put a bigger lens on the camera.

Probably good news since it was right outside the door of the tent when I went to come out. At first I thought it was a worm. It was wiggling about but not making much headway. At a slightly closer look (before I got my peepers really close) it looked like the tail of a lizard that dropped off...

How's this for a brown snake... Apparently a snake this size (about 120mm long) is just as deadly as a 2m adult. This one was outside my tent on a camp last summer. I admired it for a while then just let it be.

Go the Holdens, winner of more Bathursts than any other marque combined. Go Team Red! :D What's the story of 2015 being Ford's swansong?

Whilst it is probably ideal, I doubt there will ever be peace in the Middle East. People there have been fighting each other and the rest of the world for at least 3,000 years and there's nothing to suggest things will change soon. I am not going to stress out about it but as some others have...

This is my palace, a Jet Tent F30X. I'm 6'3'' and don't like bending over so this is about the only tent I can use with any degree of comfort. The awning, which is rolled up, extends out to the front and is also sufficiently high to stop me banging my head. The awning can be enclosed with the...
