    Drivers report alarming changes in road safety, sparks widespread discussion and concern

    We were coming through roadworks a few years ago & my husband was very careful to stay under 40Kph much to the annoyance of the very closely following car when the road diverted suddenly. It was clearly marked with poles etc, when all of a sudden our car braked & almost stopped. The tailgater...

    Tech Talk with Dr Al: Home Burglar Alarms

    We have had a monitored alarm system for several years. The monitoring costs are low & my husband did the wiring & most of the installation work, he used to work with the chap who ran the business back in Telstra. We have sensors throughout the house and shed as well as wired smoke detectors. It...

    Drivers report alarming changes in road safety, sparks widespread discussion and concern

    It’s because they flatten the battery. So does turning lights on in bad conditions or after sunset. 😂

    I hope so. I might need therapy if Trump wins, or tranquillisers.

    Absolutely Ebby. I’m definitely pro choice, should be between a woman/girl & her doctor. It’s a subject I get on my soapbox on.

    The list pretty much sums up my husband, only a couple of them he doesn’t say.

    Revealed: The surprisingly cheap wines royalty sips on – Get the Aussie list King Charles and Camilla loved for under $40!

    I love the Josef Chromy sparkling wine except it makes me burp a lot. Can definitely recommend it. One of my friends worked there and used to keep me supplied but alas he retired so now I have to pay full price at the bottle shop if I want some. 🙁

    Lovely to hear from an indigenous member & I would love to hear more on your experiences. I don’t think Lidia Thorp does herself or anyone else any favours with her actions. I would love to see us all moving forward side by side & pray that one day it finally happens. I’m curious to know your...

    My major concern today is that I’ve forgotten how to post photos on SDC. My husband took a photo of his favourite flowering cactus & I would love to send it in but I can’t remember how to. Can someone help please? I’m using an Apple iPad, if that makes a difference.

    Organisation introduces major overhaul to streamline the driver's licence conversion process

    I’m glad you & your family have settled in Australia & I hope you feel welcome. It must’ve been quite a challenge at the age you and your husband were. I think the major problem is with people who don’t speak or understand English. We have a scheme here to teach refugees, mainly women, to drive...

    Organisation introduces major overhaul to streamline the driver's licence conversion process

    We have encountered a few problems here in Tasmania with overseas drivers especially with some of our lovely Asian visitors. It’s not unusual to find them stopped in the middle of the road because they’ve seen a cow that must be photographed, or else they are standing on the road to get selfies...
