ATTENTION: Cylinder refillers

What happened?

Some 9kg LPG cylinders manufactured in China have been found to have a faulty valve. There have been a number of reported cases in Australia of the securing gland nut o­n these valves not being correctly tightened and allowing the contents of the cylinder to escape. In some cases this has resulted in a serious fire and/or injury.

Trip Reports: Packsaddle Station Track Maintenance - Sep 07

We all left Dave and Martina's place in Greystanes at around 7am heading for Canberra and then o­nto the Monaro Hwy. to Bredbo. We stopped at Pheasant's Nest servo for a bacon and egg roll and a top up of the good stuff (diesel). I have never seen this place so busy, just about everyone in Sydney was heading away for the APEC weekend, all except the professional demonstrators and the poor old police who were stuck in town keeping the lunatic fringe at bay. We arrived at the Bredbo pub just o­n 12 noon, ahh time for a refreshing ale and some lunch, then o­nward into the hills at the rear of the pub.

Any Excuse for a Fraser Island Trip

Fraser Island - long known as a mecca for travellers from all over Australia, not to mention the backpackers. But for South East Queenslanders it is our backyard. Many of us here in the bottom corner of heaven try to get over to the island whenever we can and our kids much the same as we were when young can’t wait between visits.

VEAC Closing Access to the Murray

Posted by: FWDVIC on Monday, July 23, 2007 - 06:31 AM

It is such a sad day when VEAC release another report that totally opposes recreational use of public land for all Victorian's. Four Wheel Drive Australian's need to get just a little motivated to complain that the consultation process has been a farce with none of the majority recreational interests being picked up. Quite the contrary they have been excluded.

Access to the Murray will be closed, in a figurative sense. Camping restricted, camp fires banned, four wheel driving eliminated. That is just as it effects our recreation. Consider horse riding, fishing, sporting shooting, trail and mountain bike riding and the like.

AUSTRALIAN 4WD MONTHLY CLIFFHANGER 9-13th July

Posted by: Navrun on Wednesday, May 02, 2007 - 12:52 AM

THERE was movement at Cootawundi Station, for the word had passed around
That the ute from old Greenie had won his way,
And had joined the wild bush ute of Scanlon — they were worth a thousand pound,
So all the cracks had gathered to the fray.
All the tried and noted drivers from the stations near and far
Had blasted down the river bed overnight,
For the bushmen love hard driving where the wild stages are,
And the challenge class rig snuffs the battle with delight.


That's how Banjo Patterson would see the Cliffhanger ....

This is it ... the family fun 4wd event just like the TV show, now in its 3rd year running.

What you need is any form of basic off road / all terrain vehicle, a GPS and a sense of adventure (a sense of humour will go a long way too). BYO a family - even someone else's family will do.

Preserving the Environment….. Protecting Your Right to Enjoy It
"The uncontested absurdities of today are the accepted slogans of tomorrow. They come to be accepted by degrees, by precedent, by implication, by erosion, by default, by dint of constant pressure on one side and constant retreat on the other - until the day when they are suddenly declared to be the country's official ideology" (Ayn Rand)
