The weather changed at Greens Lake last night. It got quite warm during the night, so that was a nice change. Linda (nomadic1) and I had a quick chat then we left for the short drive to Bendigo. We're in the Showgrounds, haven't seen the caretaker yet, so we've just set ourselves up like everyone else her...

Thanks to Jim (Just Cruising) and Leonie for the hospitality the other night - had a great night with you two and Lorraine and Brandt (Kiwi-as) - we are now in Yass for the night in a CP.

Well I have made it to day seven and haven't even been tempted to stray from my idea of doing not much at all here in Lakes Entrance. I feel great, I am sleeping better than at home and have a great view looking out at the North Arm area here in down town Lakes Entrance. I must say though it is very hard watchin...

Of course sis & bil were with me, and they were happy to meet and chat too. It's a pity we didn't have more time, but I'm sure we'll meet again so...

Also maybe call for help in an emergency situation f...

I do know that one can buy certain items from camp/van suppliers to tell how much is left but one fellow nomad said to run hot water down the side of the cylinder and when it turns to a frosty type level that is h...

This is my rig before I have renewed the drawbar and axle and wheels & new electric brakes. A bit of an overkill but want to get into out of the way places and free camp. Safer and ease of mind the better. Going to Brissie for 2 weeks for my sons wedding then hame and should be on the road before Xmas.

It's been a full on couple of weeks, and I'm thankful for the moment that we can catch our breathes. 'The Beast' is going well, and has clocked up plenty of K's of late running backwards and forwards to the home to see my mother. Plenty of hot water with a new solar hot water system. And Mum ........ well, it...

Thanks Chris, have a great trip and keep saf...
