New in town

L to R: Matt McGree, Bill Misner and Kellyann Snowden

What’s old is new again Manager of Joe’s Waterhole Matt McGree has welcomed back Joe’s Bar and Grill operators Bill Misner and Kellyann Snowden to run their popular restaurant. Matt said Joe’s is delighted to have regulars returning post the Covid vaccine mandate. The menu will be a combination of traditional hotel favourites and new items featuring smoked meat, pork and ribs. There are also plans for a takeaway service and online ordering. Open daily from 12 noon-8pm.

Massage and song Now you can experience the magical sound of gently cascading water, birdsong, enticing exotic fragrances and relaxing massages in a tranquil Balinese setting in the heart of Eumundi.

Home to internationally-acclaimed opera singer Lincoln Scott and his Singapore-born partner Ross, their newly opened business is Qasturi (kastoori), Malay Bahasa for musk.

Lincoln described their arrival in Eumundi from Sydney last year as heaven-sent and finding a delightful villa, previously owned by a Balinese lady, and proved “it was meant to be”.

Professionally trained at Trinity College London, Canberra School of Music and Qld Conservatorium, Lincoln has travelled extensively performing in musical theatre, opera, cabarets, on cruise ships, and at the Sydney Opera House. After post-graduate training he became the vocal teacher at a theatre school in Kent and at Sydney’s The Music Practice.

Ross and Lincoln He joined the Noosa Chorale and auditioned for Noosa Arts Theatre’s 50th anniversary production of Encore! His incredible rendition of songs such as The Impossible Dream had audiences asking, “Who is this amazing man?”

Director Ian Mackellar snapped him up to perform at the forthcoming Noosa Alive! and be the vocal coach for The Boy from Oz coming to the theatre in October.

Lincoln is also a fully trained massage therapist.

His gentle approach and the exotic setting at Qasturi ensure a very special experience. Ross creates wonderful candles and reed diffusers at the property, blending fragrant perfumes with natural soy wax using pure rainwater and renewable energy. His fascination with candles began as a child, helping his mother in the Singapore markets where he fell in love with the aromas.

For massages phone Lincoln on 0408 960 801 or visit: www.qasturimassage.com.au. Candles and reed diffusers are available at Eumundi Markets or online: www.qasturi.com.au. Eileen Walder

Each koala is an individual with a unique nose print pattern similar to our fingerprints. A photo of a koala in its tree will help the team identify and evaluate it. Qld Koala Crusaders facilitated the training of the Noosa Region Koala Rescue Team which now operates under Wildcare Australia. Visit: www.koalacrusaders.org.au.

Koalas on the move in Eumundi Recently Qld Koala Crusaders received a report that a koala was seen near the water tower behind the juncture of Crescent Rd and William Rd Eumundi which backs onto a koala habitat area and has been recently cleared. The Crusaders attempted to find the koala during the day, and with an infrared scope at night, however he or she could not to be found.

Towels for Eumundi Wildlife Centre

What should you do if you see a koala? The first thing is to stay calm and not approach it until you have evaluated the three D’s: danger, distress, disease. Then report the sighting so a qualified spotter, rescuer, or rehabilitator can evaluate the need for rescue and assessment. Use your phone to get geolocation information – go to maps, hold your finger on the area you saw the koala and take a screenshot, or write down the

If you are clearing out the linen press and getting rid of old towels, drop them off at the Eumundi Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre at 1411 Eumundi-Noosa Rd where they can be put to good use helping sick and injured wildlife. Avoid adding to the millions of tonnes of textiles that end up in landfill and give your towels a second life. Phone 07 5442 8057 and visit Facebook for photos of this RSPCA centre.

Thanks to Dan Purdie MP for Ninderry for attending the event with his lovely mother and taste testing the large chocolate brownie cake he generously sponsored, made by long-time Eumundi market stallholder Lindy Bonwick of Topliss Tarts.

Terri Waller, a Foundation member of the group, was a welcome sight with her Deadly Espresso coffee van. The Eumundi Community Garden Committee – especially Kate Gyngell – helped to make the event a success. The group is planning to hold more swaps at the gardens. Follow them on Facebook and Instagram.

President of QCWA Eumundi Janet Millington handed over to the museum a minted coin that celebrates 100 years of the CWA. The CWA ladies have been finding hidden treasures in their hall that have not seen the light of day for up to nine decades and are passing them on including photos, interviews, data files and some borrowed, well-loved CWA cookbooks.

(From L) Joe, Heather and Janet with the 100-year coin

The 100-year coin Eumundi museum director Joe Hextall and assistant curator Heather Moore recently collected the final items for an exhibition celebrating the CWA centenary which will be on display August-October. The refurbished museum re-opens at the end of May and is looking forward to collaborating with local groups. During the exhibition female staff will dress in 1920s costumes and hold interactive workshops.

The Nambour North Coast Division received funding for a small research project into the history of the CWA in our region and found it played a significant part in the development of the district. Janet Millington

Youth Meet the ESS school captains Kayleigh: My experience as Eumundi State School (ESS) captain has been amazing. We’ve faced many challenges but I have really enjoyed running parades and speaking at public services including Anzac Day. One of the best things is working with Emily, Flynn and Sol who are all wonderful people. I am so excited for the year

From L: Emily, Kayleigh, Flynn, Sol ahead and all the spectacular events coming up.

Flynn: Over the past two terms a lot has happened. Talking in front of the school and town at the Anzac Day service was nervewracking but I was so relieved and proud of myself afterwards. Being a captain is good practice for public speaking and I am grateful to be in this position.

Sol: My experience as vice-captain has been hard but also fun and exciting. Unfortunately I’ve missed some special events due to an injury. It is an honour to be vice-captain and it’s given me a chance to meet lots of new people.

Emily: Being vice-captain has been an adventure.

The first parade to run was online but I was still nervous. Due to Covid I was afraid we would miss out on a lot of privileges in the two weeks cut-off from school and was delighted when that didn’t happen. The biggest role I’ve had was at the Anzac Parade – speaking to the entire school was scary but when I saw my friends it gave me courage. At the town service Kayleigh, Flynn and I read out the names of the Fallen and raised the flag.

Anthony with Glenda (left), Annette, Joanne, Janet and Cheryl principal at Coolum State High School. This high school leadership experience reminded him that the key to senior student success depends greatly on readiness formed in the primary years. “Gaps in a student’s learning can have dire impacts in future years,” he said.

Anthony spoke positively of the kindness, engagement and sense of belonging he observes at ESS within the student body and staff. His motto for educators is to understand and build on “what is success for each and every student”.

Welcome to Anthony Swan ESS acting principal Anthony Swan attended a CWA members’ craft morning recently and thanked the branch for their often unseen financial support for disadvantaged students and contributions towards the cost of uniforms, lunches, books, camp fees and comfy cushions.

His presentation inspired members to continue making and selling their unique products at the Wednesday markets.

Anthony’s teaching career of 32 years includes service in regional towns across the state. He held teacher-in-charge roles at primary schools in southern Qld and most recently was deputy 15

Mother’s Day

Susie Lefevre, Rae Freckelton, Ilona Lefevre

Mother’s Day reflections This was my first Mother’s Day without my mother.

In January my 92-year-old mother lay in a hospital bed. My mother who had always been so fierce, loud and friendly. Who enraptured us with stories of her travels and completed impeccable hand sewing on quilts which she generously handed to family members and charities. My mother who having been a widow for 40 years taught us how to be strong and independent. My mother who was so brave.

This person who reposed in front of me, barely conscious and frail and tiny in the bed, was not that woman. As I held her hand and spoke in gentle tones she opened one eye and stared for a long time into mine. She then let her eye wander, settling on my sister and brothers, and slowly back to me. She then closed her eye and passed away peacefully. Gone.

In the months since, I still find myself reaching for my phone to share some snippet or funny story, offer messages from her grandchildren, or re-tell my own adventures. Disappointed, I draw my hand back and tell her the story in my head.

Over Christmas I left my own family with their birthdays and holiday preparations and spent cherished and precious time by her bed – reading her the latest novel, assisting carers with general duties and just “being there”. We had a grand Christmas full of visitors and sips of champagne.

The one thing she was extremely proud of was her progress with a baby blanket she was knitting for my daughter. “My baby girl’s baby

girl is having a baby girl,” she would excitedly say to visitors. “Mum, you can’t say that. We don’t know what she’s having,” I’d say.

With time I hope I can experience the relationship with this little person that my mother had with her grandchildren. Susie Lefevre

Her baby girl’s baby girl is having a baby but mum already knew she would never meet it. Our first grand-baby is due any day now and there is much excitement within our small family unit.

Little Olive Rae was born 3 May 2022.

Continuity, the circle of life, the course of nature.

These terms are used to suggest nature’s way of taking and giving back life. Everything does exist in a perfect balance and whilst I grieve the passing of my mother, I look at my beautiful daughter about to become a mother herself and feel the precious privilege of becoming a grandmother.

What was healing for my daughter and I as we approached this first Mother’s Day without my mum was the opportunity to teach her how to use her grandmother’s inherited sewing machine. While making bits and bobs for the baby I embraced the idea that I was passing down sewing tips taught to me by my mother and grandmother.

Mother’s Day reflections I have two clear memories growing up in Tamworth. My father was a newsagent and us two daughters were back-up staff. We sold heaps of Mother’s Day cards – often to fathers or partners who had left it to the last minute – so no expense was spared. The other memory is bringing mum breakfast in bed which was a logistical challenge. Our home was large with 25 steps to the second storey so spills were an inevitable experience! Elisabeth Brown

Eumundi Rotary Club

One person can make a difference

The Rotary Club of Eumundi, through funds raised from Eumundi Voice, recently purchased 20 tents and swags to help Wendy Ralston those without a roof over their heads. The recent wet resulted in many homeless losing their tents or swags and leaving them with little protection against the elements to get a decent night’s sleep.

I delivered the tents and swags to Wendy Ralston in Coolum who is a ‘one woman show’ when it comes to supporting the homeless and those in need. She has established an organisation called Outreach.

Wendy is Outreach! She is available 24/7 to provide assistance to the many people who ring her or are referred by others. I was at her home for 40 minutes in which time she received a number of calls asking for assistance. In one case she told the caller, who obviously did not have anywhere to sleep, that she would organise a tent and somewhere to put it in a private area in the bush.

Wendy has a van and drives herself around the Sunshine Coast and even to Brisbane to source food and clothing for the needy. She clocks up many miles in her van and pays for it herself.

Supplies are stored in her garage so they are ready to hand out to those who ask.

She has established a good relationship with some food suppliers and other charity organisations who supply her with both food and clothing. However, she is always driving around and contacting organisations to source more as the amount she gets is never enough.

I was very impressed after meeting Wendy and realised the tremendous amount of work she does – all without any song and dance. She truly is an angel to the homeless around the Sunshine Coast, working tirelessly to make sure they are safe and comfortable. Eumundi Voice salutes you Wendy. Greg Ison

The 1967 Referendum Many Australians believe the referendum held on 27 May 1967 gave Indigenous Australians the right to vote. Not so – that happened in 1962. The 1967 referendum proposed that Indigenous Australians be included in the national census and that the Commonwealth be given Constitutional authority to make laws for Indigenous people.

The Australian Constitution is notoriously difficult to change. Since federation in 1901, 19 referendums proposed 44 changes to the Constitution. Only eight changes succeeded as for a referendum to be successful it must receive a “Yes” majority in every state. The 1967 referendum, with the two proposals mentioned above, delivered a resounding 90.77 per cent “yes” vote. The national “yes” campaign was one of the most successful in Australian history.

The 1967 referendum recognised that Indigenous Australians were part of the country’s population. By granting the Commonwealth the right to legislate on Indigenous matters,

the referendum also signalled a general shift in the way Australian governments (state and federal) approached Indigenous issues away from assimilationist policies based around selfdetermination, reconciliation, and more recently ‘closing the gap’.

The referendum was such a significant milestone that 27 May was chosen in 1996 by the Council for Aboriginal Reconciliation as the start of National Reconciliation Week. That week concludes on the anniversary of another major milestone – the High Court Mabo decision of 3 June 1992 which overturned the principle of “terra nullus”.

Legal

when your attorney’s power begins. If you do not specify a date or occasion it will begin immediately. If you do specify a date or occasion but lose capacity to make decisions prior to those events, the power begins when you lose capacity. Even if you give your attorney financial power immediately, you may continue to make decisions yourself while you are able to do so. It might be some years after you made the EPOA before it is needed.

You do not need to pay your attorney for the EPOA to be effective. Generally payment is only made when a trust company or other professional person/organisation is acting as your attorney.

Personal legal documents Part 4 You have appointed someone you trust to have EPOA over your affairs … but when does your attorney’s power begin?

For personal and health matters, your attorney’s power to make decisions begins when you are incapable of understanding the nature, and foreseeing the effects, of a decision and communicating that decision. That can be difficult to determine. You and your attorney may need to seek guidance from a medical professional or a person who works in law (including a Justice of the Peace). If you are in hospital, talk to the social worker. Visit: www. publications.qld.gov.au/dataset/capacityassessment-guidelines.

With financial matters, you can determine

It is possible to revoke an EPOA in accordance with Queensland’s Power of Attorney Act. An attorney can withdraw from an EPOA under circumstances set out in that Act. The EPOA ceases in its entirety on the death of the principal.

The Will of the principal then takes effect.

The final article in this series on EPOAs will focus on my top five tips for attorneys.

Part aged pension Could you now qualify for a part aged pension?

The government is increasing asset test limits to enable more people to access a part pension. The threshold for a single homeowner rises $6750 to $599,750, and a homeowner couple will be able to have assets totalling $901,500 – up $10,000 – and still be eligible for a part pension. The family home is excluded from pension asset tests. Visit: www.bit.ly/3smOliG.

On this day

Connecting globally We don’t always think about how easily we can communicate with someone overseas.

Technology has created boundless opportunities but global communications are the result of cooperation by countries over many years.

On 17 May 1865 the International Telegraph Union was formed in France to help connect telegraphic networks between countries. With the development of radio and telephones its named was changed in 1934 to the International Telecommunications Union (ITU).

In 1949 the ITU became a specialised agency of the United Nations (UN) making it the oldest UN agency. Australia is one of 193 member countries and more than 900 private sector and research and development organisations play a role.

The ITU promotes affordable and accessible global communications. In earlier years it established Morse code as the international telegraphic alphabet. Its role now is diverse and includes setting international technical standards and common international tariffs, facilitating global use of the radio spectrum and working with countries to assign satellite orbits.

Australia has been a member of the ITU since 1959 and is seeking re-election to the ITU Council in September 2022. A focus for Australia will be to build global connectivity, including in the Pacific and other developing countries.

We’ve seen throughout Covid lockdowns how important global telecommunication is to keep in touch with friends and family, maintaining work and access to education and entertainment.

Making that happen with ease and affordability is something that goes well beyond Australia’s borders. Rhonda Piggott

Environment

for other land and sea animals that feed on them and could lead to mass extinctions.

Tidal movements help stabilise the Earth’s climate. Ocean currents are driven by the tides which distribute warmer water around the globe and influence global climate. Temperatures could potentially become more extreme resulting in major weather events.

A moonless world Sitting on the verandah after dinner a few weeks ago under a beautiful full moon-lit sky I began to ponder what would happen to Earth if the moon were to suddenly disappear. My musings were, I’ll admit, partly driven by the concerning recent news of space junk set to crash into the moon’s surface.

Do we really need the moon? If it simply disappeared would there be disastrous consequences that would change life as we know it? I decided to do some research and find out.

What I discovered was that our moon is the largest moon by ratio to the size of its planet in the whole solar system and it holds a significant relationship with the Earth.

Ocean currents are partially driven by the moon so the Earth’s oceans would have much smaller tides, about one-third of their current size.

Tides churn up material in the oceans allowing coastal ecosystems to thrive. Animals in these environments – such as crabs, mussels and starfish – rely on the tides for survival. A lack of a coastal ecosystem would have knock-on effects

Nights would become unbelievably darker because the moon provides light to the Earth during the night by reflecting light from the sun. Scientists suggest that with no moon and no human-made lighting we would not be able to see the hands in front of our faces, though it would make for extraordinary stargazing! It would affect people as they move around after dark and have a significant impact on nocturnal animals that hunt at night such as owls and bats.

Finding food would be much harder but species that survive by hiding could thrive to plague proportions.

Most worrying of all, the Earth’s seasons would change substantially should the moon disappear. We experience four seasons because the Earth is tilted on a 23.5 degree axis. It is the pull of the moon’s gravity on the Earth that holds our planet in place. Without the moon stabilising our tilt it is possible the Earth could have no tilt (which means no seasons), or a large tilt (which means extreme weather and even ice ages).

And I haven’t even touched on the place the moon holds in human culture. Imagine no romantic moonlight walks, no nearby world for astronauts to visit and no concept of lunacy.

April was a busy month for Eumundi Police with 42 calls for help for emergencies and urgent police incidents and 60 active ongoing investigations.

In response to the ever-increasing arrests of drug driving offenders on the Sunshine Coast, April saw a major traffic operation across the Coast to detect drug driving offenders. During the operation within Eumundi Police division, large traffic stop sites were conducted in Eumundi, North Arm, Eerwah Vale and Doonan.

Officers recorded over 1,200 breath tests with 9 drink driving and 13 drug driving offences detected. For the third month in a row drug driving arrests were higher than drink driving.

Eumundi police also arrested three people for drug possession and weapons offences. Police were assisted by road policing units/highway patrols, Cooroy Police and tactical crime squads.

Police were called to two accidents involving

high-range drink driving ending in arrests. A 67 year old female was arrested at Yandina Creek when she mounted the footpath and ploughed through a fence. The driver was heavily intoxicated and unsteady on her feet, refused to provide a roadside breath test and was arrested and transported to the watchhouse where she was charged with major drink driving.

A 35 year old Finley Rd resident was involved in a traffic accident in Memorial Dr just after midnight and woke up at the Maroochydore watchhouse after failing to provide a roadside breath test, drink driving and heavy intoxication.

The man was released on bail seven hours after the incident.

Officers from the highway patrol/road policing unit based in Coolum – who cover the Eumundi area for traffic related responses – issued 59 infringement notices for speeding and hoonrelated offences. Fraud offences were also on the increase with cyber crimes, identity fraud and counterfeit currency offences reported.

Cr Maria Suarez said the program has delivered very positive results since it started in 2015.

Coastal Fox Control Program

“Areas included in the control program will be clearly identified with warning signs at all entrances,” said Cr Suarez. “Please ensure your pets do not roam into bushland during this period. We appreciate the community support for this program and hope to reduce the impacts these introduced predators have on native coastal wildlife. A fox can have a huge impact on turtle hatchlings for example. Foxes dig up turtle nests and harass female turtles that come up to lay, leading to poor reproductive rates of endangered green and loggerhead turtles that nest on Sunshine Coast beaches.”

SCC, Qld Parks and Wildlife Service, Coolum and Northshore Coast Care and Noosa Council will work together in the Coastal Fox Control Program from 20 April to 27 May. This aims to protect our native wildlife from predatory foxes in coastal bushland areas from Mudjimba to Peregian Springs. The European red fox is a restricted invasive species under the Qld Government Biosecurity Act 2014. SCC Environment Portfolio

Landsborough, Little Mountain and Caloundra West will undergo planned burns before September, if conditions are suitable.

Cr Maria Suarez explained, “Residents near the nominated burn locations should look for advance notice of activity in their area, keep windows and doors closed when burns are planned and ensure any respiratory medications are close to hand.

“With more than 60% of council’s bushland relying on fire to thrive, regenerate and maintain healthy wildlife populations, periodic fire burning is important to the health and survival of forests and the animals that have adapted to live in them.”

Jobs do not have a gender

Council’s annual planned burn season has begun. Keep up-to-date with the burn schedule on Council's website. Seven sites across the region will be treated as long as the weather remains dry and conditions are suitable. Planned burns help plant species that rely on fire to regenerate and also reduce fuel on the ground before bushfire season.

“Jobs do not have a gender” was the key message given by a group of tradeswomen who recently gave a course in Pomona on tool usage for women and girls. The group, Supporting and Linking Tradeswomen (SALT), encourages women and girls to take up apprenticeships and work in trades.

over 200 schools, encouraging career choices in the trades to enable women to earn good wages to support themselves and their families.

Pinbarren’s Louise Mears from Lulu’s Perch Permaculture was one of the tradies involved in delivering the course. Male tradies were involved too, in-line with SALT’s goals of men and women working together with greater acceptance of diversity in the trades and gender parity.

In primary schools SALT courses involve both girls and boys. In secondary schools the classes are sometimes girls only as SALT found adolescent girls often hold back when adolescent boys are present. SALT takes advice from each school on gender composition.

Trades are more open to women than when SALT was founded in 2009, however women still represent only around 2% of employees. One of the biggest problems for companies who are trying to diversify is attracting applications from women. SALT has found that parents of young girls sometimes discourage their daughters from taking-up what are considered to be male trades. SALT hopes to give them the confidence to have a go.

SALT does not focus on particular trades, as their own trades are diverse, but works from the view that basic tools knowledge can be applied to any trade. Visit: www.saltaustralia.org.au.

Reader’s story

Well, let me jump right into it. I just got divorced and the caravan was awarded to me. I have a low price ($9,500) because I want to sell it before 17 February ideally.

A few words about this 2008 Golden Eagle Semi Off Road Caravan. It will come with a Roadworthy Certificate and rego paid until 28 October 2022. Lots of extras including underbed ducted heater, awning walls, 12v solar set up for free camping, caravan shower toilet and well maintained. If you decide to buy it you’ll receive all the papers, owner manual, keys and a buy-sell contract already signed by me.

Caravan buyer beware!

My husband was searching Facebook and Gumtree to find a caravan. He found a real bargain, a “nice looking van” which directed him to email a gmail address printed over the images. Here are the emails he received until he felt “Linda” was not genuine and stopped contact.

Tuesday 8 February 2022 15:28 Kevin wrote: Hi, I am very interested in purchasing your van to use as on-site accommodation in Cooroy so if this ad is genuine please contact me. I have cash to make the purchase. How and when can I come see it? Cheers Kevin Wednesday 9 February 2022 8:09:21 RAAF Linda wrote: Good morning Kevin, First of all I want to thank you for your interest in my 2008 Golden Eagle Semi Off Road Caravan and apologise for my delay because I saw your email just a while back as I’m in military base training. Right now I can’t call you, we are involved in a special training program here and I don’t have access to my phone. We are allowed to check email a couple of times per day. I’m sorry we have to stick to email for now, I hope you understand. The only reason I want to sell it is that I have a deployment coming up and would prefer to have my mother who is taking care of my children to have the cash instead.

Let me know if you have any questions and also what is your location cuz I paid to promote my ad on Facebook Australia-wide since it can be delivered if needed!

Warmest regards, Royal Australian AirForce Linda, RAAF Base Edinburgh, Edinburgh Rd, Edinburgh SA 5111 Wednesday 9 February 2022 13:33 Kevin wrote: Okay so how do we arrange to see it? If we want it we will pay for it after inspecting and remove it then and there. We will pay for it by direct bank transfer only, that way you are secure as well as us. Cheers Kevin Wednesday 9 February 2022 1:50:00 PM RAAF Linda wrote: Hello again, As I told you in my first email, I’m in the AirForce with my medical team and right now I am on a military base. The caravan is stored at my mother’s house in Alice Springs NT! I am a business seller on eBay and I have a free delivery voucher that works with eBay so before leaving I prearranged the deal with them. I chose to hire eBay to take care of the whole selling process as I cannot leave the military base in the context of Covid. The delivery process will be managed by eBay also.

I think I can have it there at your home address within 1-2 working days. You will have 5 days to test and inspect the caravan before making any purchase. During that 5 days testing period I will not be getting any money.

Only when you confirm to eBay that you are satisfied with the caravan and want to keep it,

Please check the websites for Covid entry requirements and late changes.

they will release the funds to me. Otherwise they will refund you the full amount of money without any question and you can ship the caravan back at my expense.

To see the caravan easier in these times I’ve made a quick YouTube video: www.youtu.be/ r05XvX3M0TQ. It’s important that you watch the video tour before you buy as this is a great tool if you are unable to inspect yourself and is the main part of my description.

I need to know if you are interested so I can list it on eBay with the buy it now option. I will provide you with the link to my eBay auction page in my reply so you can purchase it from the eBay website directly.

Warmest regards, Royal Australian AirForce Linda, RAAF Base Edinburgh, Edinburgh Rd, Edinburgh SA 5111 In hindsight throughout the correspondence there were so many ‘red flags’ – overseas deployment at a secret military base, focus on how to pay, trying to make him feel safe by going through eBay, a rushed sale, a free 5 day testing period, building a connection because she also has been scammed, sympathy connection because of her divorce, mother looking after her children, lots of unnecessary information about her religion and high principles, and that she can deliver it to us (in Cooroy) from Alice Springs in 1-2 days (3,000km).

We felt it was a scam and are now looking at other vans we can see. The video link from “Linda” seemed to be copied from a 2018 YouTube video by a company called Watson’s Caravans Port Macquarie.
