We are still stuck in Kalgoorlie. Everything is moving so slow but expensively. No word yet on when the new (reconditioned) fuel pump can be installed. And then we have to remove the turbo & send that away to be reconditioned. So far it looks like costs will be between $7,000 & $8,000 all up...

Going to have a new Sticker made for the rear of the 'Van. Self explanatory I think. 90 Kph = 25% more K's. Cheers, Sheba.

I am after info. from the locals as to the 'residency' requirements for Vict. and SA. What do thebureaucrats require to transfer my van to that state? In Qld they accept a 'rent' receipt from a caravan park, and I was hoping that this may also be the case down south. Thanks, Patto

This is the front story for today, and very sad. Was he one of ours and how could it happen? 71 year old Peter Worthington, it says. Seems he left the vehicle after getting bogged.
