The Hot Shower machine

Right now the machine that will deliver all our hot / warm showers is ticking over outside in the sun on this 37 degree day. I will post a pic and description later when it has done its job. Now who will have to run the field test?????...No photo will be supplied

Trip Shelter 09


Well I finally decided how I was going to use the tarp. What do you think? I am recycling/reusing four A frame pole sections per pole.

Lubrication

Wednesday December 2 is when our beautiful little blue butterfly will have the diff and box oils renewed in preparation for the long drive .

Tree Drive Guide

Yes what would a holiday be if it didn't involve the purchase of some new books? Yes it would be work. This wonderful Dept. of Conservation and Land Management publication has 84 pages of maps, colour and black and white photos, pencil drawings, graphs, driving instructions and botanical information about TREES. It comes spiral bound as a flip book to aid ease of use while driving.

Pass


Well we now have a WA Holiday Park Pass issued by the Dept. of Environment and Conservation. It is valid from 18/12/09 to 18/1/10. Like all things Gov. it is both inclusive and exclusive. It gives us entry to all parks except ??? How can all have an except....and doesn't cover camping fees which is pretty normal. You hang it from the rear vission mirror or place it on the dashboard.

Suzuki Camping Box

Well yesterday was one of those dreadfully hot days and so I tried my best to stay out of the sun and build the box for the back of our little blue butterfly. I had spent a fair bit of time working out just what shape it would be and getting only enough ply to do the job. I even made a rough model out of a beer box and identified which piece had to be screwed where as I had to build it inside the car.
But when it came to actually cutting and screwing the design changed and now we have it ...I hope it all works well,,I will paint it before we go.
