Drawbar danger.
(Preview)
Perhaps i should have titled this drawbar foolishness. Coming back from a few days on the coast, I tried to step over the drawbar as the van was bit close to the bushes and the door opened the other way. I dont remember how but I ended up on the ground with skin off my knee, elbow and hands. Ok, get up hope noon...

Winnebago vs horse van
(Preview)
So lovely to meet my first "Grey Nomad" on the road this afternoon in Emerald, down by the Botanical Gardens. Gypsy Rover! What a charming lady. To set the record straight I think her Winnebago looks nothing like a horse float. Andy

Fuel useage.
(Preview)
Comming across the Flinders Highway from Mt. Isa to Charters Towers, I had quite a head wind and it did terrible things to the fuel usage. Usually 17 to 21 litres, it shot up to 24 per 100kms.
