Dear ExplorOz Reader,
 | News from Jackie - With Easter and school
holidays almost upon us, you may be planning a trip departure in just a
matter of weeks. | |
With the outback season almost upon us, I've analysed the sales trends
from last year to come up the following suggestions from our
map/bookshop: | | |
A few other products which could be handy for looking up where to go,
where to stay, and some ideas to keep the kids amused are: |  |
Camps Australia Wide 3

Bound, or Perfect

Guide to Camping - Book
|  | Australian
Jigsaw Puzzle
|  |
Choose from a variety of suitable kids
CD titles
|  |
We also have limited stock on our playing
cards range which are currently 20% off RRP.
|
In recent weeks we have seen the Desert
Parks Passes sell like hot cakes! We have just received more stock
in this week, so now is a great time to buy! Please note that we can
date the pass relevant to when you are departing. We have had quite a
few enquiries relating to this lately. You just need to advise us of the
date in the comments field. This also refers to the WA
permits.
| |
Also in the school holidays it might be nice to sit back and read a
book. We have quite a range. Just have a look under books both Inspirational
and Explorers.
Quite some interesting reading. |

Feature The district of Noorama (near
Cunnamulla, Qld) dates back to the 1880's and is rich in pastoral
history. The Noorama Picnic Races has been an annual event here for 40
years and for visitors comes gift wrapped with famous bush hospitality.
This year, Race day promises a feast of entertainment and the Race Club
extends a special invitation to readers of ExplorOz.com. There's plenty
of area to camp with hot showers and toilets at the grounds, as well as
a complimentary breakfast next morning. Win money at the gate based
on luck; be one of the best dressed man or woman for more rewards;
roving magicians and wizards have a pied piper affect on all the
children; and the quality racing is recognized with trophies for the
most successful trainer, jockey and owner of the day. The event will
continue into the evening with the patrons invited to enjoy the live
band and clay pan boogey - plenty of dust flys during the boot scootin -
jitter buggin. A fully stocked bar operates well into the evening and
there's catering on course all day, including an excellent evening meal.
Enthusiastic crowds, the high standard of racing , strong sponsorship
and a dedicated committee, all contribute to making the annual Noorama
Picnic Races a day to remember. 
"Places"
is evolving...
The newPlaces
system has been a focus of site development this fortnight so come and
see the following new features added:
Places
is now interactive, enabling you to
upload:
 |
-
photos for existing
Places
-
new Places (text,
waypoints and photos)
|
The Places
index page now
also contains a LATEST UPDATES button. Please appreciate that this
system will be more useful as a resource to others if you can provide
the GPS coordinates, altitude and some nicely worded and keyed text so
give a little thought to your submission. However, the only mandatory
fields required are: Name, State and Type of Point. The system will
alert us to all updates, which will be verified by us so please feel
confident to have a go!
New
Article
Why Diesels are Different
| This new article,
added to both our Servicing
and Mods Topic, as well as our Vehicle
Choices Topic, ensures the ExplorOz site holds a technical
page that explains the workings of the automotive diesel engine and especially, the fundamental
differences between diesel and petrol engines. |
 |
The article looks at
ignition, fuel delivery, air/fuel mixtures, overfuelling and excessive
EGT. All important theory before our next article which will cover forced induction!Read

| Do you want the luxury of instant and continuous
hot water when camping or fishing? Make it a certainty with a Helton
Heat Exchanger fitted to your vehicle. Designed to suit almost
anything with a water cooled engine they are easy to install and
are the most compact type on the market. All heat exchangers are available as a bare unit or as part of
a complete installation kit. We produce three types of heat
exchanger to match various applications; shower units, hot
water systems and storage units. The shower units are made
with a range of inlet/outlet configurations. The hot water unit is
designed to deliver water at just below engine running
temperature. The 1 and 2 litre storage units were developed for
camper sinks and similar applications. We have also recently
introduced a biofuel heater for biodiesel and SVO. |

a 5 year warranty, Helton is a quality product that won't let you

Pick
this Place Competition
Wow, some people really know
the Places of Australia! We are amazed at how quickly some of the Places
are being guessed. As you may have noticed, the competition photo is
usually what we determine to be the most unusual, and it is not until a
correct answer is guessed, that the mystery Place will be become visible
in the Places system with a new main photo (the most obvious) will be
featured, along with up to 8 photos and all supporting information. Why
not take a browse around the 31
past
competitions and see what information has been entered into Places
as a result of these submissions. To submit pics to the competition
- we no longer need to be emailed the pics, simply upload via adding a new Place to thePlaces system.
