I met with Jules and Travel Bug today for a cuppa at Ipswich. We hit it off right away and didn't pause for breath for about 2 hours!

Hi folks, I have tried the search area but unable to find a solution to the waeco problem. I have a 60l frig/freezer. It was going wonderfully until last week I tried to set it up again.

I have a vague recollection of a picturesque drive along the coastline including a newish roadway & possibly bridge in the Sydney area. Possibly only constructed in the last 10yrs or so.
