I was thinking while I was away, I do around 50K Kilometers a year around Sa but I never really get to see it. Just driving from job to job.
Am looking forward to the time that I can take a leisurely look around the state.

 

yep, thats the trouble with work, it really interferes with ones leisure time, pity you really went to very nice spots

Hi Dave.
Welcome back it's good to see you on line again.

I have started work on my van now laying down the floor, I will be putting photos on my web site of my progression.

Cheers
Frank

Too many of us kids for you to keep track of Dave

so many freinds, when are you going to take "the big one" pam

like you say Dave work gets in the way of leisure. Hubby and I hope to take April and May off work next year and head to WA. Hopefully we will stop house renos long enough to do some camper trailer renos before we go. Still looking at second battery idea and a built in kitchen

I would dearly love to get back to w.a. but cant just yet, our renos are on hold now for a while, too hot, the next step is the front verandah, rip up and reconcrete, and a spear and arch fence across the front, too hot in the shed to build the spear and arch panels and too hot to concrete, 37 deg. yesterday here, concrete would dry too fast and crack up, so back to the salt mines for me, reaping at the moment so its all go, nevermind, need the money
