We have just arrived here. A basically "free" camping spot - on private land. Donation welcomed. There is a toilet but otherwise you need to be self contained. They are in the process of organising to get a dump point installed. Large flat area & nice surroundings - very quiet.

I am selling a vehicle which has a full tank of fuel and want to siphon half off before sale. Can someone tell me if you can still siphon fuel from a tank with a hose or are they designed these days to prevent that (other than any mods an owner may have done to prevent theft etc) ?

Today decided it was time the JCs saw some NZ highlights. So it was an early start with first stop Thames. Then we followed the coast road (likened by JC to The Great Ocean Road). This took us to Coromandel township. Over the ranges we went to Whitianga where we had fush and chups aka fish and chips. Leonie...
