New ranger has finally arrived after 6 months on the slow boat from Thialand ( would have been quicker on a refugee boat )

Getting it wired up for the van and hopefully off towards Cairns later this month.

Hoping the rain and wet is all gone, and also to meet up with some more nomads on the way.  Look out for the BIG nomad poster from Greens Lake

We hope to buy a new Ranger towards the end of the year so will also be interested in what you think. Have been looking at the dual cab XLT and were advised to get the automatic. We hope to be on the road permanently next year and will get a canopy put on. Enjoy yours!

 I saw the pics from Greens Lake, good to see somebody is getting some use out of the poster, I might go to Oficeworks and see how much they want, good idea to put it on the van when parked.
