This Power Jac is the original Australian invention – there are many lower quality brands now available out of China.
Designed for the Offroad market and Rural industry it will lift vehicles (or any other equipment) up to 4 tonnes (4.000kg) on uneven or soft ground – even off mud.
Simply push it anywhere under the vehicle and inflate. Given its large flexible surface area it will not damage the underside of the vehicle and is stable on any surface. (Stay clear of sharp objects or hot exhaust). Just hold the funnel over the exhaust pipe and let the vehicle idle.
Inflates and deflates quickly. Rolls up into a bag for easy stowage. Full instructions on the bag.
In excellent, as new, condition even though it has been used a number of times in very difficult recovery situations. Washed and stored since.
Note: The 3 pictures showing an orange bag are not this unit. They are to demonstrate various applications only.

Price: $200

Respite care is a great short break option for a family member or loved one that also helps give carers some time out to recharge the batteries. There are a range of circumstances which might require respite overnight or support for day care.

It could be needed after a hospital stay or just as a little extra support for caregivers. Respite care ranges from a few days and even up to a few weeks. A loved one, who lives in their own home, will have their short respite stay in one of our village centres.

a valuable view isn't always about grandeur

Matt from Matt Wineera - Thats Real Estate with Matt Wineera

A valuable view isn't always about grandeur. Sometimes, it's as simple as overlooking a serene tree-lined street rather than facing a dreary brick wall. It's the distinction between feeling tucked away in a corner versus opening your window to a world of visual delight.

A valuable view isn't always about grandeur. Sometimes, it's as simple as overlooking a serene tree-lined street rather than facing a dreary brick wall. It's the distinction between feeling tucked away in a corner versus opening your window to a world of visual delight.

Moreover, a view isn't merely a financial asset; it's a wellness enhancer. The tranquillity of gazing out onto an unobstructed vista is akin to a daily dose of calmness, a meditative experience that nurtures your well-being.
