Here’s a great idea. Navman has upped the ante when it comes to safety on the road with the brand new MIVUE 860 DC. It’s the world’s first dash cam with an inbuilt tyre pressure monitoring system.

The fully HD cameras capture every detail on the road, front and back, while the tyre monitoring system minimises the risk of a blowout, while keeping track of your fuel economy and the overall life of the tyres. Along with the ADAS safety warnings and GPS tracker, it’s a great invention for peace of mind on the road this summer. navman.com.au. FIRST LOOK Lord Howe Island’s most sought-after luxury accommodation, Capella Lodge, has recently reopened following a 4-month, $4million refurbishment by Baillie Lodges. The Capella Spa has been re-imagined in a loft setting overlooking the ocean, while additions in the main lodge include a teak-clad bar as well as new furniture and soft furnishings which together create a more contemporary Lord Howe feel. It looks incredible! capellalodge.com.au.
