Wow, what a adventurous few days since leaving Adelaide. I decided to go to Mildura and have a couple of things done to Miss Daisy, and actually from where I was in Adelaide it was easier to go that way to Melbourne than travelling back through town and the hills. Really about the same amount of time, will...

Hi, I find that a small number of members on this forum seem to think that wasting their time with idiotic responses could possibly be intelligent or useful.

Read an interesting newsletter from a friend today. They have been in Broome for five years and they say tourism has gone downhill over those 5 years. Shops are closing. Economic downturn because the gas people are not allowed. Maybe there will be some spots in those caravan parks for everyone now.

Yes, the new motor has arrived in Port Augusta today. Workshop have already started on installation, so should be on our way by early next week at least.

This one I felt and it turned me off buying the caravan and it i...
