  1. Trish and I stayed there on the night of 12th June, having read the rave (?) reviews od HVS. How disappointing it was, no powered sites available, but not a problem but the unpowered camping was all over the place like a dogs breakfast. We were told the riverside camping was not available, no explanation. We didn't both to eat in the restaurant as Trish is a much better cook. We left the next day and would not go back! El Questro on the other hand was excellent, even though with the van we were unable to access the private camping sites. They know how to do it. Bypass HVS, it's not worth it. Rick
  2. Sorry for this late reply but we have just travelled the GGR leaving Broome on 3rd July and reaching Kununurra on 18th. Overall the road was in excellent condition ( for the Gibb that is ). All good up to Drysdale, and was mostly just graded up to King Edward River. The camp host there told us the Mitchell Falls road was the best it had been in 4 years and yes it was reasonable. Don't take the van up tho as it is just too narrow in places and there are a couple of steep creek approaches and exits. The road from Ellenbrae deteriorated and was quite corrugated to the Pentecost River. Not much flow there, not much more than tyre deep. The road from there to the El Questro turnoff was the worst part of the road by far. Make sure you call into Mornington Wilderness Camp, it's worth the side trip. Enjoy the Gibb which was just as good as it was in 2004 when we last travelled it, despite the increased traffic.
  3. I am planning to spend a week on KI in mid March and wonder if any Koggers have any recommendations re places to stay, things to see and do? Cheers Rick
  4. Does anyone have some suggestions for lightweight ladders that can be easily stored/carried to provide roof access. The sort that if you don't have you will need! Thanks Rick
  5. Hi Tony, Thanks for that info. I had a look at Alan Jones' Exomount and it seems perfect so have ordered one. Cheers Rick
  6. Hi Glen, Where have you mounted it? Is the surface very shiny or rough? Do you have a photo of it mounted? Thanks Rick
  7. Hi Alan, Thanks for the offer and I will wait until you have yours. Give me a call on 0402 281 590 when it arrives. Cheers Rick
  8. Hi Russ Thanks for the warning but it is not an issue as I have no Sim in the iPad and it is a WiFi model. Cheers Rick
  9. Hi Everyone, I have an iPad and the Mud Maps app to use for navigation in my LC200. I would like some advice on mounting the iPad,I would preferably not want it attached to the windscreen but wonder if anyone has experience mounting elsewhere eg dash facia or centre console or floor? All ideas/thoughts/photos welcome. Thanks Rick Johnson
  10. Russ, Can you please give me a call in the next few days on 0402281590. Regards Rick
  11. Hi Russ My Honda 2.0i won't run my aircon so am looking to buy & Yamaha, which model are you selling? Regards Rick Johnson
  12. Thanks for everyone's help. As there is no LED supplier near me that I know of, I ordered one via post from Image Envirolife at Morriset for $18 + del. It arrived this morning and looks the same as the one Glen & Debbie described. Unfortunately its too wet outside to install it, hopefully the rain in Sydney will stop soon! Cheers Rick
  13. Hi Tony Thanks for posting that, very stirring stuff. Pity it probably won't be seen by the general public. Cheers Rick
  14. Hi Mal & Kerry Thanks for the reply. I thought it might be a bit harder than that because it was a bayonet fitting, so I'll try some LED places. Many thanks Rick
  15. Does anyone know if the Bargman door light can be converted to LED? It's the only non LED left on my van and I would like to get rid of it. Cheers Rick
