A Day in Alice

Day 17

Today was a fix everything day. Had breakfast and started repairs. First up transferring water in the water tanks and then filling up. Bill and I came up with some major contraptions. Then it was pull a Shockie off the camper so we could get some new ones. Then off into town for shopping and parts. Rell had heaps of work to do at the van so it was Bill and I heading off. We started our saga looking for shockies. Went to about six places no luck so eventually bitting the bullet, went back to Pedders suspension and bought two. $560 later we headed off to fuel up. So now I had a big funnel, we went to the depot bowsers. Hi flow diesel pumps. Filled the car and three black jerrycans and one yellow. The yellow wine took 10min. So that was it. Pulled up stumps and headed for servo to make it easier. Put in about $450 worth of fuel. Then off the the cheap shop with my list. Well they didn’t have what we wanted, so off to Woollies. Then to Kmart grading a bit to eat before coming home around three. Took ages down town. Then it was the repairs to the camper, the camera, air compressor and a heap of other minor things. Later we had to do another grog run before heading to dinner at the local football club. Gillens club. Meal was okay but as usual Rell tummy didn’t agree.Read more
