I'd have to say I've gotten some great responses to my question. I think the only hesitation I had was mounting an aerial on a vehicle largely used around town by my wife but guess it can always be unscrewed as suggested. I've since discovered the rear part of the ML roof has a plastic cap (I...

Based on only occasional use, I'm not sure whether I can justify buying a dedicated 5w vehicle-installed system as I'm not sure I want to mount equipment to the car, even though I acknowledge it offers the best performance. The main purpose is for safety and piece of mind when we are traveling...

I've now submitted updates in the Tracks page for both Burralow and Mountain Lagoon trails (added picture for Mountain Lagoon) that make up the Kurrajong Discovery Trail.

Thanks for the tips Grumpy and Walkabout; though the last posting has now made me hungry - gotta go for some grub now...

We don't have major ground clearance under our MB ML350 (209mm) but found the Blackfellows Hand track in Blue Mountains very easy with no bumps or scrapes to the underside and no issues with traction with M+S tyres. We also found a friend's Outlander completing that trail without any hiccups...
