💙 2nd month wrap up 💙
NT - SA - VIC - NSW - VIC

Can’t believe we have completed Part 1 of our trip already 😳

We have 💙loved💙 our time adventuring with MancHester
Our set up works really well for us, however for long term travel there are a couple of small changes we are planning to make.

We have had a few ‘oops’ moments but nothing too drastic 🙏🏻 and our bush fixes have worked well (includes snapped and lost antenna, cracked inner wing wheel arch, lost bolt in bash plate, charger 1 for Bluetti giving up (again😡), stolen water bottle….)

👍🏻 Highlights - too numerous to list them all (includes the places we have run, the people we have met, EVERYTHING about Coober Pedy, fossicing and finding opal, fabulous sunsets🌅, clear starry skies🌌, seeing Aurora Australis, learning about John Horrocks, cycling the Riesling Trail 🚴🏻, camping along the Murray and catching up with friends at the Wang RegFest…..)

👎🏻 Lowlights - wind 💨, bugs preventing evenings outside 🐜 🪰, fuel economy at times💰

😥 Challenges - being unable to charge the bluetti as we travel (until we get & install the warranty replacement charger 1)

🍻Pubs visited - not as many as we expected 😜 (Mulga bar at Kulgara Roadhouse, (underground) Desert Cave Hotel, the Big Winch, The Bond Store, Moonta Hotel, The Rising Sun, Magpie Stump Hotel, Mates Royal Hotel, Milawa Hotel)

💙 Hester - inverter, coffee machine, Weber, Christmas lights

💙 Manc- ease to prep lunch as we travel, inverter, induction cook top, air fryer

Next- heading home for a couple of weeks work 😢 catch up with family and friends for Christmas 🎄 and prep the car and van for part 2 of our adventure 🥰
