[Bicycles]

Hi Russ

Don't worry about bike racks we want to read the next blog so get on the job as we have really enjoyed them.

We are at a place called Mungo Brush camp north on Newcastle nestled between the Myall Lakes and the ocean beautiful spot over looking the lake.

They get out the drag nets here and drag for prawns in the lake liked we use to do in the Swan River so Penny and I are going to act like German tourists and go down and watch them sort the catch and hope they feel sorry for us and give us some prawns.

Reece

[Tyre rotation]

G'day Reece,

I had a good conversation with a guy who has spent his life in the wheel alignment business particularly with trailers. He had a good look at my Top Ender and the suspension set-up. He made the statement that the tyre that will wear the most is the left rear tyre. That has proven to be correct on my van.. He gave me a tyre rotation chart for my van and I have attached it for you as a pdf.

Regards

Colin
