  1. Hi Bruce

    We have questioned Ashley also about this and he just shakes his head. We had a gas heater installed in WA in our old Kedron, loved it.  It was the first thing we had done to our current Kedron.  Like you we asked again, but the answer was no, so we bought one at the caravan show last year, and  had it fitted at Bundaberg.  Never had a problem with either.

  2. We dropped our van into Kedron yesterday to have some other work done. Ask Ashley about the number plate being moved. Unfortunately the two spare wheels are a bit too close on our van to allow the number plate to go between. Ashley assures us he will work something out. Will keep you posted when we collect the van.

  3. Colin and Gayleen,

    Thank you for sharing this lovely story. It must have been a wonderful experience (probably a lot better than our Anzac Day in wet, cold, miserable Melbourne). We always think small regional towns do a lot better than the big city Anzac Day services.

    Once again thank you, always love reading about other people's travels.

    Cheers,

    Clive and Sandra

  4. We have just completed the trip from White Cliffs to Eulo. We could not find any information from the locals about the condition of the road. It appeared that no locals had been on that trip for a few years. I thought I would give our opinions on this forum in case anyone was contemplating the trip.

    White Cliffs to Wanaaring - good we rated it 7/10

    Wanaaring to Hungerford - a bit boggy and we did have to go through some shallow water 6/10

    Hungerford to Eulo - good 7/10

    We had checked with the information centre and general store at White Cliffs but all they could tell us that the road to Wanaaring was open. The local police at Wanaaring told us that the section to Hungerford was open (it had been closed due to water over the road two days earlier). We checked again at Hungerford before we travelled to Eulo. In the 516kms of dirt road we only came across three other motorists. One which had his vehicle bogged to the chassis. I think he was happy to see us and very pleased we stayed and helped him get the vehicle back on the road.

    All good.

    However we now have a very muddy car and van to clean when we get home.

  5. Thank you to all that helped us in our hour of need. That is what I like about this forum, even on public holidays help is available.

    We are now doing what we like best "freedom camping" sitting on the banks of the Mighty Murray looking across to NSW and freezing our buts off. Wish the sun would shine.

    Once again thank you

  6. Help, we are in a very busy caravan park for Easter (rare for us to be in a caravan park). Yesterday we turned on the radio (also a rare thing for us to do) we were happy listening to the radio inside the van unaware that our neighbours were also listening to the radio from the external speakers. Is there an easy way to isolate the external speakers? Would be grateful for any advice.

  7. Hello Bruce,

    Love the change you have made. We have a very uncomfortable L shape seating arrangement at present. To give us more room we have removed the table and use stable tables. Could you please give a measurement from the partition to the door to see if we could possibly make this modification to our Cross Country. Many thanks.

  8. I recently had to replace the front boot lid struts on the van. I visited the Strut Re-Gas chap Hervey Bay and told him what I would like. He advised me to get longer struts and he worked out where they would have to be mounted on the bin doors. The bottom mountings did not have to move. The new struts allowed the bin doors to open approximately 150ml higher. I was still trying to gain better access so I moved the stone guard forward approx 100ml. This allowed me access behind the stone guard and able to look in the bins with out hitting my head :D This has made life a lot more pleasant with out the additional expletives.


    Clive :P

  9. When we go away for a few weeks or more we get a house sitter. Fortunately for us we have never had a problem. In most cases we come home and find our gardens looking better than when we leave them.

    Sometime we find things in different places in the kitchen, but that only takes a day to sort out.

    Personally we like the security of having someone in the house to collect mail and to make it look lived in.

    Also with our insurance policy I think we can only have our vacant for 60 days without having to pay a higher premium.

    Cheers,

    Clive and Sandra
