A young family, local
We have owned it since early 09, 14 years of great memories, some 16K km's.
All the kids have left home, living their dreams, no need for it.
We have a hard floor rear pull over that works great for us now. Later next week we will pack it up, load the Criuser, and spend a week on the road.
No time frame, no plan.

"Are there more roads in the city or in the bush? More precisely: is the total length of roads in all the cities and towns more or less than the total length of all the roads that run between the cities and towns?"

"By how much?" (5x, 10x, 100x ...)

But anyway, the envelope please!
(Drum roll!)
& the winner is ... Country by 4x! :-)
Yes, of course, the figures are a bit rubbery in some ways & based on arbitrary decisions on where town stops & so on, but the actual numbers that the bloke came up with are:
City roads in NSW = 40,721k
Country roads = 168,775k!

To his credit, only using the Gregory's manual we bought him when he first got it, he has pulled it out, replaced a heap of stuff, a good mate is checking it over.
Saturday morning, it'll get put back together.

they Always Come back.
On a positive, he's looking at a FIFO apprenticeship, taking over his time.
Seriously, any kid these days that says they can't get work, they are not applying themselves.
Many of Jack's mates, have taken the leap and now are enjoying good coin, improving their work skills & enjoying life.

It was also a Neptune fuel depot. It was a trip in the Ford Popular on Saturday mornings with the old man to go and get petrol for the week. Always a chance for an ice cream.

We finally got to hold a meeting after our Rodeo just before New Years.
After two years of not being able to host it, it was a huge success.
Record entries(competitors), a big crowd even tho it rained, we are able to giving back to the community and other clubs that helped on the day, a total of $25 000.00.
Without each one of these groups giving of their time, it wouldn't happen.
I'll get a list of these soon.
Well done

One of things it mentioned was about where to camp "near Brisbane" (although I don't know why you'd want to ??? >:D)
https://www.letsgocaravanandcamping.com.au/news/where-to-camp-near-brisbane/ (https://www.letsgocaravanandcamping.com.au/news/where-to-camp-near-brisbane/)
OK, a caravan park only ~10 minutes out of the city, sure
Big 4 Caloundra & Gold Coast ??? Both an hour away so not really "near" ???
Lake Somerset ??? - 2 hours & 120k ::)
Borumba Deer Park, back of the Sunshine Coast :-\ - 2.5 hours / 200k :o
& best of all ...
Hervey Bay!!! :o ::)
4 hours & 300k away is not what I would call "near" to Brisbane! ???

120klms is nothing
1 hours I'd call back yard
3 hours is usual to get to most camps round here.
... peak hour or getting out of city can be 1-2 hours on its own LOL

Easter is a moveable feast, occurring on different dates each year. It's observed on a Sunday between March 22 and April 25, so there really isn't such a thing as typical Easter weather.
But wait for it ...
But there is evidence of it being hotter the earlier it comes in autumn
Remember folks, you heard it here first - the closer it gets to winter, the higher the chance of the weather getting cooler! ::)
Who woulda thunk it ??? ;D

This made me smile. When we were planning our wedding way back (28 years ago) i had the clever idea that let's have it on Easter Saturday so people could travel etc. The wife to be thought this was a great idea but what I didn't tell her at the time it was my sneaky way so that I would never forget the anniversary (how could I if on Easter Saturday). Wasn't until the following year that I came to the realisation that Easter doesn't fall on the same date and don't think it has ever since ;D
I did eventually admit to the boss that I had an ulterior motive and she just rolled her eyes (could see the word d**khead in her face) and we still laugh about it every Easter Saturday.

I tested the height bar one quiet wet night with permission of the Hobart City Council Carpark staff.
I was about 75 mm over height at the chained height bar, (so set off loud alarm bells) and could manoeuvre through most of the parking spaces (very very slowly).
The tradie bar touched at a couple of places but I only wanted to see if it was doable. I would leave the bar off for an actual park with traffic.

I was 2 cars back driving into the local shops undercover carpark. The lead car had two road bikes on the roof and I can remember it going in slow motion and thinking that won’t fit. Proceeded to crunch the bikes, tear the roof bars off and fold into the back window smashing it in the process. Reckon it was 2 minute noodles for dinner for a few months after that.

It's been 80 years since one of the most daring escapades of WWII, when Britain's Royal Air Force unleashed a secret weapon - the "bouncing bomb" on German dams.
Thirteen Australian airmen were part of Bomber Command's 617 squadron, involved in the Dambusters Raid on the nights of May 16 and 17, 1943, dropping the new bombs on dams in Germany's industrial heartland.
The new weapons were depth charges that could bounce along the water's surface before sinking and exploding.
Of the 19 Lancasters that joined the dangerous low-flying mission, eight were lost with 53 aircrew killed.
The squadron soon became famous as the Dambusters, with the ingenuity and courage involved in the operation documented in a 1955 film.
Veterans Affairs Minister Matt Keogh paid tribute to their bravery, saying Australian pilots Harold 'Mick' Martin and Jack Leggo were knighted for their part in the raid.
"The courage and skill these men showed while flying heavy bombers at an altitude of just 18 metres while maintaining speeds of 370 km per hour is truly remarkable, he said.

Ramornie Rd is in really poor condition, a slow trip at times, we haven't been out there since just after Christmas.
Our progress was stopped by about 100 meters of trees down, too big a job for a couple of us with saws, that's NPWS job.

Got stopped by two Red Caps and thrown in the back of their Land Rover.. Were told they had bigger ones then us... Spent the night in the can...Was an experience.....

Got stopped by two Red Caps and thrown in the back of their Land Rover.. Were told they had bigger ones then us... Spent the night in the can...Was an experience.....
And can add,,, but they did treat us well.. Threw us in a picquit vehicle next morning after we had sobered up and got us back to Seletar base before roll call.. Rule of thumb, don't argue with two 6'6" pommie red caps.. Also, meet the two chicks hanging around outside of Raffles across the road. Obviously waiting to pick up some one dumb like us...

Members of our brigade have been planning this event for two years.
Last Sunday I attended as 85 ha were burnt to start this action of protecting these properties & assets, yesterday nearly 50 acres. Weather dependant next weekend another parcel of land will be burnt.
We had a wind change that was unexpected which cause some concern to one farm house & multiple machinery sheds, having some 15 appliances attending, this was brought under control rather quickly to the properties owners relief.
In the last two outings, I have been fortunate to be teamed with members who have been RFS Members for many years, who can read the situation and have taught me a great deal.
I've completed my RFDO, so I am able to drive the CAT1, Operate the pump. The CAT1 has a water canon on the front of it, this enables us to attack a fire without getting out of the vehicle and entering a smokey environment.
Just about to head out again and mop up.

Power comes from the standard 4.5-litre turbo-diesel V8 engine, mated with a Toyota six-speed automatic or a five-speed manual with a reinforced clutch. Total fuel capacity is 275 litres.
There’s rear-wheel steering to make the car more manoeuvrable, along with a full suite of off-road goodies to take you deep into the wilderness.
Portal axles allow for 390mm of ground clearance, and there are three differential locks. Drivers can use the Garmin touchscreen to remotely inflate or deflate the tyres – or the car can automatically do it based on how fast you’re going.
A full airbag suspension system allows owners to choose from three heights: kneel, ride, and lift. There’s 100mm of difference between the three; owners are able to manually vary the ride height by up to 250mm at a standstill.

It does seem a waste of a resource that could be of more benefit to more people than a metal recycler.
Maybe the visual trauma to potential hoons as a deterrent effect is the aim?

Needed to get anti-flap & bracing struts for the awning on the new van, so ordered them on Sunday arvo, with the presumably auto confirmation coming through to me at 15:27 Sunday 12/11.
OK, so they're only based at Yatala, between the GC & Brisbane, so not very far to travel, but the delivery arrived at 8:35 Tuesday morning! :cup: But wait, there's more! :-) They were delivered in that time by Couriers Please!!! :o
But when I unpacked it all, I realised that I'd only ordered one of the bits, thinking that the "one" they sold was a pair, not a single :-[, so I re-ordered an extra one immediately, confirmed at 09:58. It was delivered at 12:02 today! ;D
I think you could say that 26 hours from order to delivered is pretty darned good in anybody's terms! :-)
So, goodonya, Supapeg - you've definitely won me as a return customer when I need anything! :cup:

Why Gummints love inflation. Get the Land tax bill and the land valuations go up by 42.7% which means the tax goes up 98.8% from $1255 to $2495.Yep, that’s why we offloaded ours. Landlords are facing more and more restrictions, increased rates and taxes whilst helping fill the shortage of public housing, short sighted government cash grab.

Nah, I'm so stuffed I couldn't be bothered, plus I got out of bed at 3am but crawled back in at 7.30 for another 5hrs. I could go back again now but that is the part that will make me smile when I feel better and not have to think about still making the logbook work. ;D
