Re: what phone do you have

Updating it since my last post.

I now have a Telstra Dave that I have had since 2013, due to my tendencies to wander long distances and needs for a tough phone.

I also use my Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 as a phone from time to time as well

G'day Everyone, I am trying to compile a list of closed stations that have CountryLink signage on them with the plate on the top that says "TRAINS DO NOT STOP HERE" so that one day I have a chance to visit these stations and get photos of these signs and station remains. I, through some se...

Re: NSW Ferry Discussion

Old Cremorne wharf has been closed last week. No explanation on 131500 website. Also maintenance at cabarita wharf this Wednesday to Friday. No alternatives suggested and no use of Bayview Park.
