Yes. I am. Travelling North.
Having a great time ,
Possibly stay here 3 nights then hop along the track a bit further

I had them checked as well as the charger checked , all is working fine.
I charged the batteries using charger to full but then put solar on all day to bring the batteries up to totally full. .
So good is this sunshine ay.
This town is very nice to visit

Arrrr ..... Yeo John
good to read from you .
if you tell me yours I will tell you mine ..... Ha. Ha ha
i do know where you are off to . Just a joke.
Well after Narrandera a few days. I went to West Wyalong a few days then now , I am sorting out the campers here at Griffiths . Not too much sorting as there is no GN here. A few backpackers.
yes the power supply (batteries) are sorted. so believe it or not .... I am a happy camper
the sunrise here is not so spectacular
there is a three day free camp at the lake here.

pleased that the battery position has been resolved satisfactorily and you are a happy camper.
Expect to leave Greens on the 29th and drive the Hume and Pacific Highways direct to the Gold Coast.
CYA at Wuruma.

Sorry everyone but I had to post this pic
It is how the steel rims were put onto the wooden wagon wheels ,
The wooden wheels were made minus the rim ,
The rims were made minus the wheel .
The wheels were put onto this steel base ,about 1m. or a tad more in diameter
the base can be lifted up or down via the long handle .
When the wooden wheel is in place on the steel round plate ,the rim is heated
to the max temp then placed over the wheel . The rim expands in size when heated very hot..now that the rim and wheel are on the steel plate and secure ,
The wheel is lowered into a large concrete tub of cold water,
The rim contracts because of the cold water
thus the rim is very secure on to the wooden wheel .
Interesting about the wheel Paul - where are you now? We are at Ardlethan, NSW, cute little town with free camp right in town - and power at $2 per 12 hours!!!!
Toilets and bbqs.
See you at Wuruma?

Hi jules you are not too far away from Griffith
Steven , a guy with a brown dog is camped there where you are ,he has a little van .
I will be pushing out of here Thursday morning, .been here four nights by then.
I did a drive to Darlington Point then on to Witton then on to Leeton , about 3 hours spent in Leeton and then it was time to head back .
Not sure how to fill in the day Wed. , might go to the pool again , not too bad on a hot day.
I am heading north to the lake on Thursday , that will be a 3 or 4 day stop over.
