The local council is trying to shut down The Old Coach Road to vehicular traffic.
I can't carry fishing gear for an extended period which means I will be blocked from fishing the on beach along there.
Since I moved here, I have seen the closures of many great and easily accessable land-based fishing areas.
I am on my way into town to deliver a submission to the Assets and infrastucture manager and the editor of the local rag.
Good luck with that, hope it works out. At least you get the opportunity to voice your concerns.
Heaps of access has been blocked along the Great Ocean Road without any warning. Some by DEPI and others by I assume Vicroads, they just extended the guardrail right across the access track.
Cheers

Well the holidays are over for me and I have to curve my alcohol intake. A lot. After cramming on 4kg and the belt is now out another two notches I have to do something about it.
I will surely miss my liquid friend and only be able to see them on the weekend.
Decided to try sellmycar.com.au because i don't need my old car now i have the patrol and hate dealing with time wasters and tire kickers, only to discover that that is all they are offered 1/3 of their online valuation made me stand around for over an hour to get that offer, went past u pull it on the way home and got offered more from a 5 second look through an office window....still not high enough tho so now i have to clean it and try sell it

Intercooler hose comes off.. again, well at least it's not FNQ or is it?
So living by the peaceful shores of Jervis Bay, intercooler hose comes off again (and it's double clamped) on the way to town, so I turned around and parked 'trol in driveway. Really should be about 20-25mm longer on one leg so I wait until wife gets home from work to take her car and spend 3 HOURS looking for a 57/58mm 90 degree Si hose in Nowra/South Nowra.. WHAT A WASTE OF TIME !! Came home and found one on-line and it's already been ordered, taking a whole 5 minutes...
I tried to support locally but here for most parts/IT/electronics I have to now default to on-line.

Which hose mate? The one from the turbo? I found when they get a bit old, and even double clamped they will still slip off. Happened to me. Put all new rubber hoses one and they were actually quite hard to get on. I knew these weren't coming off in a hurry.
Some w@#&$ who decides they will cut you off to pass the people doing the speed limit or just under in heavy traffic and rain and then proceed to do 10 to 20 over to make up for lost time only to find they cant get anywhere because traffic is bad ahead to not long after arrive at a red light.
Mind you feels good when you pass them further up the road cruising along on the speed limit guess its a bitter sweet deal.
