Made it to Cooma from Bega this afternoon, after a late start. The cruiser boiled coming up Brown Mountain ! Let it cool then refilled . Once up on top and a bit of speed up with air
flow, all was well.
Will do a trip around the Mountains tomorrow, i see there is still a bit of snow up there.
If all goes well should make Greens by Friday.

All noted about Greens, we should be there late Wed. We had a little hassle coming out of Canberra. Cruiser started to show signs of getting hot all most to the top so just pulled over for 20 mins and it was ok from there. See you hopefully Friday

Done the Alpine Highway today,just past Thredbo the charge warning light came on and stayed on, as well as other warning lights. Joined the auxilliary battery into the system and turned off all accessories.By the time we got back to Cooma, battery was down to 10 volts .Auto electrician was closed by the time we got back, so will see what they find in the morning.Hooked battery up to a charger over night. Comming into Thredbo there was a toll booth for entering a National Park, they let us through,without paying, provided we did not get out of the car, not even for a pee!!!! We held on for another hour or so.
Was still a bit of snow up on top. Large areas of dead trees everywhere, apparently bush fires in the 80s devestated large areas.
