Headed over to the workers historic museum. Some interesting stuff about the shearers strike leading to the workers union leading to the Australian Labor party. Lots of historic photos of Brisbane as well. Life was different back then. But so much the same. Old schools for kids to get a […]
20230308 Parkes to Hay

Pajero scangauge
After using this for a few months now, I can say I am pretty happy with the unit. It’s mostly easy to navigate and the touch screen works mostly well. Sometimes trying to swipe ends up being a touch/select. See mounting option I choose in the video below. The telemetry […]
