With summer ending and things quieting down and your looking for somewhere to travel to, that may be not to far from home, we thought we would do a series of shows in and around the lovely town of Port Macquarie.
Phill has the pleasure of speaking with Janette Hyde or as the locals call her Mrs Tourism. Janette has a wealth of information in and around this lovely town. She chats with Phill and fills him on some of the things to see and do in Port Macquarie. She can be found at the tourist information centre

Something that the whole family can join in is Ricardoes Tomatoes and Strawberries. Here you can let the kids do the picking and if you are a little older and have bending issues, there is no need the strawberries are all grown vertically.
Phill chats with Tony as he tells us all about what is available, they are open every day and picking strawberries can be done in the rain as its all undercover, and after picking your feed of strawberries to take home, why not visit the cafe and have a coffee and scones, complete with their homemade strawberry jam. Also in the shop, you can purchase the tastiest tomatoes, honey, chocolates and souvenirs. Located only 10 minutes out of Port, a good place to spend an hour or two.

Next up on the show is Jeff DeAth from Check Weight. The subject this week is tow ball weights.
If your towball weight is correct your van will be more stable, but if the ball is too light it may sway. Also your speed is a factor into this scenario. Also when you change the weight eg: bikes, generator can also be a factor.
Your towball weight should be around 10% of your GTM. Tune in and listen to Jeff as he runs through all about tow balls. Or why not book in to have your car and van weighed through Check Weight. Jeff now has 3 more franchises so there will be one https://checkweight.com.au/online-course-lp/
