    sydney - run by corrupt lawyers and their stockbroker and doctor mates. unliveable if your lower income. you don't make eye contact and talk to people in syd - they're too stressed out. road tolls, fines for parking anywhere, grid locked in your apartment... when you first move there you will cross off all the beaches and visit the harbour...then you're a rat trapped in the place. agro cops and karens everywhere...the new people that move there, constantly trying to take what you have. get away from that place its a vortex... run from it. capitalist nightmare...

    the finger burns story is interesting. The coroner said there was no heroin or other illegal drugs in him and it goes back 6 month. He had a suicide attempt in LA where he passed out with valium and alcphol. He wanted it to look like an accidental drowning. He was taken to hospital in LA and that's why the coroner in Australia knew the cuts on his fingers were originally from burns not just cuts. That's also why they speculated the tub full of water when he died was from a failed suicide attempt before he hung himself. Michael didn't want Paula to take the kids out of school to try a few months in Australia before and after xmas, (it was never for xmas - they were planning to go back to England in December - see Paula's police statement) he had to leave England to get away from Bob's bullying. He was in LA in Nov and didn't have to be. Paula - understandably - wanted to ignore Bob and get married as they had planned. He was trapped. He loved Paula with all his heart but bob controlled them and media with Gag orders and bullying. He took his life to free Paula - sadly Bob kept tormenting her.

    Well you can say you slept a night in Vaucluse! I lived in Sydney for 45 years and can’t say I ever had that privilege. Sorry to hear about your dad. I helped nurse my dad with lung cancer and he died at home. I can’t really recommend that experience much either. Sometimes there are just horrible, crappy moments, but they do eventually become smaller in the rear vision mirror of life. Keep up the great work with your Vlogs!

Ned's grave was covered in a thick layer of concrete to discourage grave robbers. The cemetery is in a somewhat isolated location with open access as depicted in the video.

    In New South Wales there’s no law against sleeping or living out of your car, though it’s important to make sure you are parked where it’s legal to do so. There are many locations around NSW that have signage stating “No Camping Allowed”, and while you could argue that you’re not camping if there’s no tent or campfire, it’s best to simply abide by any such signage. However, keep in mind that there are also some councils that regulate so-called “illegal car park camping” - trendy areas on the NSW North Coast have a zero-tolerance attitude towards camping in car parks, because if it were legal, everyone would do it and the local amenities would be overwhelmed.

    In Queensland, the rules are pretty black-and-white about what is considered camping. Living or sleeping in a vehicle is technically camping, so if you plan to partake in that, you need to do so in a designated camping area. Queensland is arguably the strictest Australian state for this interpretation. The Queensland Government says it has over 450 rest areas that, while not camping sites, can be used for up to 20 hours unless signed otherwise.

    DNA is often revealing hidden family secrets. Ned was a young man with all the usual desires for love. Fitzpatrick on the other hand was alleged to have had a child to Ned's sister. Another rumour that is plausible but yet to be confirmed. No family is immune to dark secrets that have been buried and await discovery.

    Its a convenient way to buy it all at once and if I had the money I would probably do that . The actual shower is just like those rechargeable type that you can immerse and they do the pumping. (which is less electricity to provide and cost about £30 GBP). The enclosure is just a loo tent(£20 to £60). The light is identical to some we got at christmas to add to our key rings(£5). The best bit about this shower is the base and if they sold them seperately I would buy one as its more convenient than a bucket or baby's paddling pool.

    Not if you're referring to a Commander 4x4 Expedition vehicle, you don't. They are over 4.5T and 7.5m long which means while people inside vans and cars driven on a car license can simply ignore any knocking, you'll get a fine under your wiper regardless of whether you answer that knock or not - for parking over an hour in a "built up area." Maybe you'll get away with it on weekends but not Mon-Fri.
