Twin swag combo looks good.
A lot like a camper bed, just without the camper.
Personally I'd replace the matress with twin Thermarests, which would make it even more compact.

Went to Masters to get my new cordless chainsaw (56v power  :cup: ) with 1x 2amh battery for $349-00 and 1 spare battery for $149-00.
Well my lucky day I got 3x$15 gift cards for the saw, which then came off the battery, final cost $104-00 so got another $15-00 card , went back and got a 20ltr diesel jerry can for $25-00 less gift card $10-00

Total cost $463-00 sold my Stihl for $230-00 so my outlay was $268-00
Am I happy   
spending the kids inheritance as fast as I can

Aldi fire pit on Saturday.

https://www.aldi.com.au/en/special-buys/special-buys-sat-9-may/saturday-detail-wk-19/ps/p/outdoor-firepit/



Would love to get one of these for Fraser...  but I guess the npws answer to that is NO?

What applications in camping would these be of use?     Parks either its a No - or a only in designated rings; etc; etc...

Saw a unit very similar to that at Bunnings on Sunday...

To me, these are more of a backyard fire for when you're missing the bush  ;)

I wonder how many users will still subscribe to spot after the first 12 months as it starts to look expensive (between $165 and $315 USD PA) after that compared to putting a Telstra SIM card into a second hand Satellite Phone and especially as you can now buy 415MHz PLB / EPRBS for ~ $350.

Maybe so but if you wanted one of these it is a really good price.

I wanted one. family can log in and check where I am. I can say I am okay or need help to family or call real help. I don't need to talk to people  ;D

Been looking for some rear speakers for my Home Theatre setup. Looking on Gumtree the other day and found some Wharfdales which were the same as my other front speakers I bought 20 odd years ago when they were higher quality and made in England. $50 thank you off a pommy that bought them in the old dart and bought them out here when he emigrated.
Now have 4 matching ones and would have paid much more to get the matching set. Bargain.

Thanks KB, they are only small (Diamond III) but punch well above their weight.
