Now, we are cancelling our around Oz stint as we've just had so many dramas. Our motorhome has continued to plague us with time-consuming little hassles enroute, which, while they are not major problems in and of themselves, the more remote we go the bigger they seem. And the harder it is to find a mechanic enroute. Let alone a part.
Every little hose, or tyre, needs a week from ordering to installation the further west we go. Which makes travelling around Oz a different experience, as, sensibly, to save hassles folk should carry as many spare parts as possible. Along with a few tyres, as no business carries the extras of the specific model number you need out here, as there are just too many different ones.
So, the others are continuing, but we are heading back to Toowoomba from Mt Isa to get yet another complete overhaul closer to home. We''ll stay nearer mechanics then, so they are handy if needed.
Pete has already decided that the next time we attempt an 'around Oz' trip it will be a fly-drive scenario from various vantage points, rather than driving twelve thousand kilometres in one stint. And I have no problems if he feels more comfortable doing that.
We now have another planless, timeless trip ahead of us, so will go where our noses twitch. Which is a new and different experience for me. I usually know well in advance what is likely to be on the travel agenda. But, wherever and whatever, this time, too, should be fun.
There may even be another blog in the offing as I have been enjoying this one. Though, I am chewing up so much data on my router, always, so must find cheaper ways to get permanent internet access, too, before long.
Where is Telstra Air when you need it?
oooOOOooo
