We are heading off on our first shakedown trip on Saturday. Going from Brisbane to Gladstone (Inland) and coming back the bruce highway. This will be our chance to test everything and do any adjustments before we head off in January

That is "Delivery Day". After waiting 5 agonising months I finally get my new van tomorrow. Now the fun starts. I think I'll drag it down to Bathurst for the big race next month. That should be a good shake down trip to sort out any bugs if they exist. Yeeee Haaa. Doug

After we leave Nindigully in the morning we have decided to head for Moree then on to Warialda, Manila and then into Tamworth. How long that will take is anybody's guess. We plan on heading down the New England and the Putty after that.
