This is how I used a single Cd to make a card.

Trips to the beach or down some rutted pathway through the woods no longer a possibility? Think again! Wed, 15 Aug 2007 16:04:19 GMT http://www.mike-shona.com/dragonfly/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=10 Mike & Shona's first caravan. When we were looking to buy our first van we started with a short list of what it needed to have. The initial list contained things like: separate shower compartment from toilet so there was no need to dry anything down after a shower, and there would be no wet footprints trekked through the van. island bed so neither of us had to climb to get in or out (Shona has a problem with her back, and I have a problem when I take my prosthetic leg off.) usable sized kitchen area airy, open feel to avoid any claustrophobic feel from long stretches of being stuck inside due to wet weather in Victoria Sat, 04 Aug 2007 08:18:40 GMT http://www.mike-shona.com/dragonfly/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=9 When we first started in caravanning, we didn't know what we didn't know. Surely it was as simple as buying a big white box with the level of fittings and features you thought you needed, bolting it onto the back of the car and heading off? We were just a bit ignorant, but perhaps just like many others. This content is to assist with some of the more basic questions and answers that you might have about starting off in caravanning. I originally wrote it and posted it for Australian Caravanning.

The terrain is lots of nothingness: But the "middle" of town has a building here and there, a pub, and one of the cars used in the film Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome which was filmed around the region is still parked outside.

Charlie Brown seemd to be every bit as successful in his endeavours as I did. He was honest and tried hard, it's just that everything seemed to not go to plan with him.
