Yep, we've gone there. We're following in the footsteps of the Commonwealth Bank's Dollarmite program and brainwashing from birth. And I can't think of one bad thing about the banks so this can only be positive.

This customer is building a car trailer and has opted for super strong 2-tonne, 50mm square axles paired to complete 3.5-tonne rocker roller suspension. We advise customers that this is maximum bang for your buck. You can have a tandem-axle trailer well-equipped for 3.5-tonne without having to upgrade to a non-standard tow ball and coupling. Winner-winner!

Below: This customer ground to a halt in November but our extra heavy duty Omega coupling got them operating again.

This rural retreat just outside of Eugowra is up for sale. It's a favourite honeymoon getaway for Central West weddings and having seen it myself, I can attest to the stunning scenery, sprawling gardens and fantastic and varied accommodation. Hugh will be giving me a commission on this sale. He just doesn't know it yet.

Kiembah was designed by World-renowned architect John Andrews, the designer behind the orginal Sydney Exhibition Centre, the Melbourne World Trade Centre, Gund Hall at Harvard University and many more. He's famous for brutalism however his Eugowra getaway has a much more welcoming vibe. Kiembah's listed as price on application which means people like me can't afford it. I get it.
