    Sent an e-mail complaint to CityLink and said that a Prado's and Kluger are classifield as a car and Dual Cabs are marketed to families now.
    Got a response and you can all guess the contents. Stiff Dog droppings Ref No Blah Blah, you drive a light truck. Humm I spent the time complaining and its the cheapest part of next Monday's day's expenses.

    Edit; and it would be probably quicker to take old Sydney road through Coburg and across the old way through melb, than pay for the City Link parking lot route.
    Quicker we get back on the Hume the better and I used to live in Melbourne both East, North and West suburbs.

    Drive a Hilux on its own through the Tullamarine Freeway Brunswick Toll section area to the Tooronga turn off and its $25 something dollars and at a crawl in many places
    Drive a Hilux with a Tandem Jayco attached through Sydney via M7 and M2 and it $12.36 at a smooth 100kph.

    Jetski or PWC registration costs

    NSW. $318
    VIC. $39

    Lucky I live in ACT and can register in ANY state since our territory does not register watercraft

    Yer when typing my rant I knew there were some cancelling out items like Caravan Rego in Vic about $65 something dollars and in NSW its several hundred.
    Yesterday I got the Motorbike rego in at $516 (Country Price) and that's a rip off, especially with Vic Roads Hell Bent on installing KILLER multi Wire Rope Barriers for us riders along freeways and major roads.
    I was in a foul mood yesterday, so I would have typed anything grumpy.
    On a positive people are starting to call again and I have a 6.5days of work this week although not fast paced days.
    Cheers Garry

    Not in the ACT it would seem so if you live there and only use it there you should be fine. Dont know the ACT all that well but is there any waterways in the ACT you could use one on. Would love to see them try prosecute someone for it

    If my memory is correct from when I lived in Canberra, there are no areas where you could legally use a PWC or any motor powered craft for recreation with exception of a small area of Molonolo River for water ski-ing. Not sure what the status is of Jervis Bay (which is partlegally part of ACT), or is the (sea) water there regulated as NSW territory (although there used to be ACT Water Police at Jervis Bay)?
    Steve, our Can Bearer mate should know.

    No where in the ACT to use them

    The Molonglo River was closed in 2010 due to flooding and has still not reopened

    All lakes, ponds etc in the ACT do not allow any motorised recreational vessells

    Is it Friday, bugger its not,
    I've read about it done before within here what I did. Well I too can be added to the listed of that exclusive club.

    Did some detailed maintenance work on some machinery late yesterday arvo till darkness. Including Blades, Blade Brake and SP Gear adjustments and the usual oils/air filters.

    First job today was a random one off biggish hedge in a hill side address that I do a few house within the court and one as high end regular.

    Finished that and move a street away where I have another three regulars. Though Ok, house "B" needs doing again.
    Humm why is the grass congesting/compacting up around the front right wheel and flicking about.

    Yep, you know what I'd done, I often mulch this lawn, so out I got the Victa 560 Mulchmaster and completed the job with that and spread a couple of areas Galah effected with the Magnum 600.
    Got home fixed the problem and continued on mowing very close to home now with the catcher bag filling this time.
    Sheeish, Dementia is already kicking in.
    Cheers Garry
