Jokes taken off the blackboard at the Cox County Club blackboard (off Darwin) in 2021
I tried to say NO to Vodka, but it was 40% stronger than me
I don't drink alcohol I drink spirts,
therefore, I am not an alcoholic
I am a spiritual.

Never heard of them but had a look at the clip. Would be worth a thought if we got another high vehicle. Enjoy

Webmaster enquiring if you sold your van?
-
Were you successful in finding a van?
-
Even worst than that was the pity - look at these two old people with a tent. Showed them.

After years of traveling with our Kedron all over Australia, I didn't realise how much you get used to the luxury of a van.
Recently we had to make a hurried trip to Queensland. I flew and Paul drove as we knew we would need the car for anything up to six weeks. Having only the day before returned from Europe we had no time to get the van prepared before we urgently had to be in Queensland.
On our return trip, I knew I was going to have to go 'camping'. Didn't really realise what this would entail until we got on the road. School holidays and the PGA tour in Kalgoorlie meant that we couldn't get accommodation at some places. We drove past most free camps with our tent in the car, and only used Baxters Rest stop because it had a toilet. I kept looking out the window going we could stop there or there or there.
Staying in Broken Hill during 30 hours of rain was not fun, and at 11pm we had to move to a Motel because we were ringing wet. The Kedron doesn't leak I thought. My sister and children are sure that Paul took me camping so I would appreciate the van more.
We managed to get three days at Elliston S.A. Only drizzled there, but by now we had learnt a few things on how to cope without 'Q' (our Kedron).
Our last night on the road was in Kalgoorlie. Our site was concrete - all concrete so pitching the tent was interesting. Besser bricks may have come into play to hold the tent in place. This time we were smarter, and got an en suite in case it rained, we would have somewhere to run to if this happened.
When we got home to Perth I went out and gave the Kedron a cuddle. Hopefully in the future we will be able to get out for some short trips. My dad is coming over for a few months soon, and Paul thinks that at 87 he can go with us and stay in the tent. Stop laughing I haven't found a way to break it to him that dad would probably get our bed and we will be back out in the tent. We will see, we will see.

One of my wife’s third graders was wearing a Fitbit watch, which prompted my wife to ask, “Are you tracking your steps?” “No,” said the little girl. “I wear this for Mommy so she can show Daddy when he gets home.” —James Avery
I loved the dress that I bought at a flea market. It fit perfectly, and the skirt was a swirl of intricate pleats. I wore it confidently to an evening party and glowed when a woman exclaimed, “Oh, how stunning!” Yes, I was grinning from ear to ear, until she added cheerfully, “Hang on to it, honey. Pleats will come back someday.” —Mary Lou Wickham
A customer walked into my clothing shop and asked to see the pants that were advertised in the paper that day. “We don’t have an ad in the paper today,” I told her. She insisted I was wrong, so I got a copy of the paper, and we went through it, eventually landing on an ad for pants from another local store. Exasperated, the customer glared at me and said, “In my newspaper, the ad was for this store!” —Edward Oppenheimer

All items listed before 2019 have been moved to clean up this site.

Who did you have your original van insured with. Did they pay what you expected. We are currently with CIL and thinking of moving to RAC and just trying to get a fix on prices.

Sorry to hear of your diagnosis and hope you stay as well as you can for as long as you can. Give it hell Mavis.

Have a great trip. We will follow your exploits when we get back. Are you headed down our way after August??

Welcome to the forum. As you can see (Events - far right shows notification, in financial members area gives details) we have a gathering on the 14th to 17th of July at one of the Kedron Owners Group members private property's at Kilkivan. Since it is only in the financial members area you would have become a member first. Sometimes we do have gatherings for financial and non financial members. Enjoy your Kedron, we have had ours for nine years so far and done many rough/bitumen miles in it.

RACQ wouldn't insure our van when we first got it. Must try them this time now that it is 9 years old and see if they will. Usually just go CIL

Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson go on a camping trip.
After eating their dinner around the campfire they retire to the tent to go to sleep. A few hours later Sherlock wakes up.
“Watson, are you awake?” He asks.
“Yes, sir. What is it?” Answers Watson.
“Look up and tell me what you see.” Asks Holmes.
“I see billions of stars,” says Watson.
“And what does that tell you Watson,” asks Holmes.
“Well,” says Dr Watson, “Astronomically, it tells me that there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets. Astrologically, I observe that Saturn is in Leo. Horologically, I deduce that the time is approximately a quarter past three. Theologically, I can see that God is all powerful and that we are small and insignificant. Meteorologically, I suspect that we will have a beautiful day tomorrow.”
“Why? – What does it tell you, Holmes?”
Holmes is quiet for a moment then says: “It tells me that someone has stolen our tent.”

Thanks for the heads up 'Webby'. Our thoughts go out to Glenys and their children Angela and Melissa. Peter will be sorely missed by those that knew him.

We have done two tours of Tassie. First one for three months Feb to May - not long enough. Next from Nov to well June as it turns out (COVID). It is expensive to get van and car that size over approx $1,800 to $2,000 return. Not sure what the new prices would be from Geelong though. Secondary Roads are narrow and you have to be organised to do as Sandra suggested, drop van and venture out but worth the trouble. Not sure of the state of free camps and National Parks since COVID. Some were still closed when we left in June 2020.
We had a great time, and only missed the West Coast due to stupid fridge (fixed in Penguin). Went for another try and got as far as Waratah but snowing in December so gave it a miss.
Certainly not a trip you would regret, you just need to make sure you book far enough out and have your return trip booked. Doesn't mean you can't move it, but if it gets busy and you haven't booked your return trip you have no hope of getting home. We prefer going during day on way over and night on way back. That was when you docked in Melbourne, presume it will be easier at new Geelong facility.

Shower mixer tap leaking.

We replaced our shower mixer tap some years ago. Just bought normal one from plumbing show. Haven't had a problem since.
