Re: Meat safe

Yep we cooked it and ate it, otherwise we were going to go hungry. I have one just like Gordons. I use it m...

Re: transporting non towable vans

If you really want to tour and dont have the luxury of a decent trust fund.... apparently there is quite a lot of work available (or there was) managing van parks while the owners t...

Re: Port Norlunga

Reddo, That was my first thought too but then figure a tree cut down would have a smooth cut, I'm thinking we might be seeing new seedling trees surrounded by a brush type protector.
