  1. It is at Peter Cross’s request that those attending wear “colourful clothing”. This epitomizes Peter’s nature perfectly. He always looked on the bright side of everything.
  2. Funeral details - Tuesday 20th December 10.30 am Mount Gravatt Cemetery & Crematorium 620 Mains Road McGregor
  3. It is with sadness we inform KOG Members of the passing of Peter Cross “Crossy”this morning. Peter struggled with the effects of mesothelioma for many years. Peter was a member of the group prior to its incorporation and he and his wife Glenys attended many of our gatherings. Peter is survived by his wife and daughters Angela and Melissa. His big heart and larrikin sense of humour will be sadly missed.
  4. That is a great photo of Kimbo. One that reminds me of many great times. He was always one for safety and taught me the right way to use a chainsaw. To this day when I pick up a chainsaw, his words of safety ring in my ears. Thoughts and hugs to Nerida and all his family
  5. Ann and I are both thinking of Kimbo and his family at this difficult time. Our virtual hugs go out to them all. 💕
  6. Merry Christmas to you and Annie also, Tony.......and to all the other Kedron owners. Please stay safe on the roads if you are travelling over the Christmas period.
  7. I could spend time writing all the after sales service I have received from Kedron too, but it would just take too long. I can can sum it up by saying - A Gall Boys' handshake is his word and rock solid. You will not meet a more honorable and honest family. Welcome me to the "Kedron Family".
  8. I can't speak for the McHitch as I have never owned one, although I have heard others speak both good and bad about it. I guess that is the same with every product. Some love it, and others not so much. We have a DO-35 and are very happy with it. We would not hesitate to continue using it on future vans. We have an ATV2 and find it very easy to hitch and unhitch. Later models have a dust cap which would be great if you are doing a lot of dirt roads.
  9. Hi Bob and Janine Firstly I should say that you will thoroughly enjoy the drive through the Kosciusko National Park. It is stunning scenery. We took our 18.5' (internal) Kedron ATV2 down Brown Mountain a couple of years ago. Prior to this descent, we had been down the Clyde Mountain several times and the Macquarie Pass to Kangaroo Valley without any problems. You just don't let the speed build up and lightly touch the brakes to keep it under control..... I would say though that the descent down Brown Mountain was the most hair raising. But let me explain..... We have a Tekonsha Brake Controller that has 3 settings, B1 for soft around town braking, B2 for highway driving and B3 for aggresive downhill braking. Someone in their cleaning frenzy (and I shall not mention names in here) must have pushed the button and it was sitting on B1. Hence our trip down Brown Mountain had my knuckles white and my eyes wide like saucers. Half way down when the brakes started shuddering in the vehicle, I pulled over for a breather and to cross myself and ask God to safely get me the rest of the way to the bottom. One quick check of the brake controller told me what the problem was and after changing it back to B3, the trip to the bottom was a breeze. We we still laugh about this experience and even just the mention of the name Brown Mountain gets my heart rate up. It is several klms of constant downhill. I think there is a sign at the top that tells you exactly how far. But it is no different really than the Clyde. We have found a softer way from Goulburn to Nowra that involves just one, very short hill, and this is the way we cross to the coast now. I wouldnt hesitate to do the Brown Mountain drive again, as I mentioned the countryside is just spectacular (and you can be assured I would double check and triple check the brake controller settings next time). Enjoy the drive !
  10. Hi Chris. I would love to see your travel planning for the Gary Junction, and look forward to catching up with yourself and Val when you get over to the west.
  11. Here's the "How to ......" link. http://www.dreampod.net/boroma/dometic_windows.html When yours are done, you will be an expert, and you can come and do ours !
  12. We have this happen from time to time and have discovered a quick spray of silicone in each corner frees them up nicely. Until the next dusty road of course. The cans with the long nozzle are perfect for getting in the corners where the rollers are. It's a maintenance job we now do every so often to avoid the problem even starting.
  13. That is very sad news indeed Tony. We travelled with Grant and his wife Jane across the Great Central Road 2 years ago, and also met up with them again at King Ash Bay only a month ago. Grant certainly had a zest for life and both Ann and I remember him as a quiet yet cheeky fellow, but always friendly and smiling. My thoughts are with Jane and family at this very sad time. He will be missed by us all.
  14. Here are some pics of a relocated Kedron number plate. Ours has also been modified to comply with the Regulations.
