What has made you Happy today??

Because there is also so much to see abroad too..... I was lucky in the fact I was born here, spent half my life in the UK went to various places round Europe and due to my old mans work when I was younger got to see and live in places I probably will never get to see or go to again.

Now that my old man has passed away, me old girl is moving back to the UK, which in turn means opportunities to take the wife and kids for the odd visit..... Which I think is a good thing.
I haven't been back to the UK or anwhere abroad in the 15 years I've been here, love it here but I also think that if the opportunity arises to visit other places and cultures, then you should take it and go

i see where you're coming from mate, but i guess it just isnt for me. Im not overly well travelled, have been to thailand, NZ 2x, hawaii, fiji and other coastal islands and all of those times i was dissapointed. NZ was OK, but that was because the rugby was on. sure i havent been to USA Mainland, or europe, and everyone says europe has so much history, sure, man made history. australia is steeped in history also, but it is naturally formed. i think it is incredible to look at some places in AU and see old seabeds, or where ancient tectonic movement has caused such incredible upheaval... i find that stuff wayyy more interesting!

I was part of the 'populate or perish' migration push is the late 1950's. Come to sunny Australia, kangaroos on every street and orange trees in every yard. I've still got the pamphlet that enticed my parents to migrate with four kids under nine years old.
All I can say is geez I'm glad they did. For them life was bloody tough, establishing themselves in a new country, learning a new language etc.
Us kids absolutely loved it. They went back to Europe for a four month holiday to visit family after being here for about fifteen years, after a few weeks they missed Australia so much they rescheduled their flights and returned ten weeks early.
I went back for a holiday about fourteen years ago, absolutely loved it, visited a few countries and when it was over I couldn't wait for the plane to arrive back home.
We won't travel overseas again, there's to much here to see and do.

2wd. It’s actually surprising how well these Patrols will go in 2wd. I remember this time last queens birthday weekend I took the fam away in the Vic high country and we did the entire weekend in 2wd on AT’s too. It was a pretty muddy weekend too. But the shitter held it’s own.
Last Easter I taught my 14yo daughter how to drive for the first time. On the Murray and she did real well. Not long now until she can legally drive the Patrol with L’s. lol

Bought another ARB 'difflock only' compressor, used it for one weekend, and second time went to use it, fuse blown. replaced fuse, blew again, great, Burgoynes gap without lockers!!! Anyway, returned the unit to ARB, they sent it away, report came back, 'rooted', give the man another one. I hope this isn't a pattern with these little compressors as the old ARB thumper that came with the lockers back in 1997 is still pumping away and now the dedicated tyre compressor. So happy with the process and great customer service in the end.

Yeah service good but "new" quality coming from them?

Will see how this one lasts, but its going to get expensive for them if I take a compressor back after every trip. I noticed a blue heat mark on the end of the motor and just hope its a simple random bush collapse.

I smell new QC/supplier. Hope I'm wrong.
