Interested......Jdbiker and Chippy, will be on four wheels instead of two on way to Wilpena Pound if that's ok?
Only 3 and a half weeks away nowYeah.......! Should arrive midday. Will be staying overnight. Accomodation booked across the road. Next day on to Wipena pound, Flinders Ranges and a bit of 4 wheel driving.
Fitted new rear brake pads yesterday, old ones were so thin that they appeared transparent, lol.We will probably hit the road around 2 am to arrive before noon. Prefer driving through the night. Oils changed in the 76, just have to drop in the dual battery for fridge, rotate wheels and we are set.
(Hmmm ... I remember that I last changed pads in mid Feb, 2012 ??)
I may travel up on Friday 24th, then camp over somewhere on the return trip.
Hi Alan,Mailbox now mt - well nearly.
Tried sending pm in reply to your msg re the dash shelf but comes back saying your inbox is full.
What I'm after is a Migsel gps mount with ramball attachment, can't find a Migsel supplier in Oz,
So I would certainly be interested if this is what the guy from Mildura has :like
PS. Will be passing through Peterborough sometime Sunday 26th,
I haven't given up on this one yet - Have Port Augusta on Wednesday 22nd and I'm waiting for a quote to get the ignition switch/steering lock fixed on the car before I can commit either way.Did Port Augusta on the 17th so that's out the way - Quote for car came in at about $200 - 220 and they might fix while car is in the driveway so booked for next Wednesday.
Supposed to be doing Marla on the 7th July as well.......
I'm going through Murray bridge ,manum ,walkers flat,Swan reach ,loxton,Paringa way on Saturday morning if any one wants to meet up.Not going Adelaide way ,sorry .Safe trip to all.Wouldn't it be easier going via Karoonda http://goo.gl/maps/1eFe3buDuKz (http://goo.gl/maps/1eFe3buDuKz) though not a lot of difference other than less traffic.
Regards John g.
I did the Barmera via Angaston, Sedan, Swan Reach and route a few times when I used to live in Smithfield area though never stopped at the Wunkar Hotel.
PS the Murray Bridge, Mannum, Swan Reach, Maggea, Loxton, Paringa ride is a much more interesting ride IMHO (particularly if you stop at the Wunkar Golden Grain Tavern although Saturday morning might be a bit early).
Bag is packed and ready to chuck in the pannier after I have a cuppa in the morning.
Intend to leave here around 8 am, see you all when you arrive on Saturday.
:hatwave
Safe Travels Kev. The forecast for Saturday is looking good.
