Thankyou all, for your support, we left 5.30 this morning, windy and rain all the way to Perth, Athena is safely tucked away at Diesel Motors, Mercedes Benz, they will look at her tomorrow morning and advise what is wrong.,

Thankyou all again, I appreciate all your advice., I am feeling positive, that they will fix her.,

 OK, I'll take the blame.

Sorry Fran, can't get to the morning tea today.

you will get it fixed here in Perth, those people in Norseman are only trying to rip you off, its a problem for travellers all over Aus they know you may never come back so try to take advantage of you, not all places are like that.

Ha - Wombat -they are two hours ahead "over there" - so he has been up for a while Iwould say.

Fran - lovely to meet you the other day - take it easy on your trip home, enjoy it, stop and look at the scenery - visit a place called Pildappa Rock, near Ceduna, inland - it is in the Camps bible - great spot for a night (free) and an amazing sight as well - you can quite easily climb up on top and walk around - it is beautiful!

You certainly don't let the dust settle Fran, and understand about you bypassing Norseman. smile

I believe Fraser Range CP is worth an overnighter not far from Norseman although I have never stayed there myself, see;

PS:  I like Abba too, went to the live show "Mumma Mia" it was a hoot! smile

Must put Fraser Range on my must see/stay list too Fran, sounds good.   $30 power and $22 unpowered.

Have a safe trip across the range, you will probably find Athena will be running faster now she can sniff home, LOL smile
