Well, we won't be going to Doug's place this year.......

After my Doctors appointment this morning I have ongoing appointments so rather than not go away at all we decided that we would go down to Moruya for a week or two. It only takes an hour to duck home for the day. Anyone in the area drop in...

We are still stuck in Kalgoorlie. Everything is moving so slow but expensively. No word yet on when the new (reconditioned) fuel pump can be installed. And then we have to remove the turbo & send that away to be reconditioned. So far it looks like costs will be between $7,000 & $8,000 all up...

I am after info. from the locals as to the 'residency' requirements for Vict. and SA. What do thebureaucrats require to transfer my van to that state? In Qld they accept a 'rent' receipt from a caravan park, and I was hoping that this may also be the case down south. Thanks, Patto

Hi I'm not sure who it was a while back loking for an awning for a motor home and I thought this link might be of assistance as the price seems a bit less than normal. I have nothing to do with the seller its just that I came across the site while looking for other items. Regards Jim http://www.ebay.com.au/...
