Wednesday, October 06, 2010. Great Central Road Days 23-26. A nice bitumen drive to Broome. I haven't been here since 1968 and I am quite intrigued to see all the changes that have been wrought to make this one of the top holiday spots in the North West since that time. I plan to maybe stay here for a couple of days and catch up with myself. The first stop in town of course is the Tourist Centre for a list of all the caravan parks. I need to sit down and digest this for a while as everything. Update and ...

Thursday, September 30, 2010. Great Central Road Day 19. Well no breeze but plenty of lightning and at some time 20 mins. Of what sounds like heavy rain. You know that stuff that comes down in drops the size of golf balls but no wind at all. Still it does cool things down a little and I have worked out how to make the roof fan draw in outside air through the windows at each end of the bed so it does get a little cooler. This part of the world. I’m standing here on the old bridge, which replaced the...

Tuesday, March 16, 2010. My scaffold plank arrived! So did about 2 tonnes of steel from some customers to be turned and/or milled. It certainly means that not much truck work is being done for the next couple of weeks but hopefully that will help stem the financial tide. So now I have a cut up scaffold plank and a very solid landing outside the door, and I did manage to fix a small water leak near the pump. Yea! I only have a couple of small complaints. There he goes again . . . .). Links to this post.

Wednesday, October 06, 2010. Great Central Road Day 21. The wrong button on the GPS sometime today and lost the track but it goes between the two overnight stops for Day 20 and Day 21 . . . the yellow bit and part of the grey bit. This is the park at the end of the main street in Kununurra. I can’t believe Kununurra. Has the second most expensive fuel I have come across $1.70/l! I really don’t have a choice so $350 later I head off to El Questro. That’s a good reason to go back! On the way back I finally...

Thursday, September 30, 2010. Great Central Road Day 20. I had this strange suspicion it wasn't going to work. I got up at dawn and rode the bike around to all the spots I could get. The sun came up way too quickly and with no clouds around there isn't much in the way of favourable light. And by the time the gates were open it was all over. . . So back to the campground to work on my professional camper skills. I decided to fix the roof vent as although I had power for the air conditioner. Great Central ...

Sunday, April 03, 2011. How To Do Your Head In . Well it's been a while but I was talking to someone just yesterday when I came to an important realisation. Motorhoming. As a full-time permanent lifestyle is not for me. Anyone who has followed this blog for any period of time will realise the importance. I hear you ask? Are MORE expensive than being driven around in a air-conditioned bus! I guess that's a premium for not having to sit next to some drivelling idiot who wants to sleep all day and party all...

Monday, October 25, 2010. Not Much to Report . . . Since returning I have parked the truck and done very little to it. There is much to contemplate but I am not inclined to wax philosophical. Maybe when I have had a little more time to consider everything . . . I am thinking of a little trip around the South West of WA in the next couple of weeks so there are a few small items to fix. The pesky drawer catches really need something purpose made so a few hours on the milling machine fixed that. I could do ...

Thursday, September 30, 2010. Great Central Road Day 18. 100% Humidity is not my idea of fun. I have had two cold showers while packing up this morning. I drive down to the end of the bitumen just to have a look at the “Safari Camp”, a strange place which is a mixture of permanent tent on raised floors and other odd scattered tents around the place and a couple of converted containers for an office and a shop. It really does somehow remind me of those big safari camps you see in movies. Today I am determ...
