All way's quiet you know me. I think the valve probs were due to the extenders on them so is easy to put air in,they obviously don't like worse than cattle grid roads.We may be at the next gathering but in the F truck to the zuk a rest.Bob.

Regards, Trevor.

Thank's Bros, I have dress rims over the original rims & dual wheels on the rear.The way they are fitted means to get the air in the extenders make it easier & fit through a hole the size of a 50cent piece & due to the corro's & the extra weight of the extenders they flop around a lot more than on the black top.I thought before we left about finding a rubber grommet to put in the hole but being a small time frame as to when we left i did not do it.I ended up leaving them off after they were fixed. The 1st one was on the black top however.Bob.

We actually arrived literally a few minutes after it happened. He was still on the ground (covered) the police were just starting all their forensics. They were there for about 2 hours, then the fire truck came to hose down the road, he left, police finished up then all were gone and road reopened and people driving having had no idea a 41 year old was just killed there not even 3 hours ago. I felt so horrible for his family, going thorugh my head that they have just been told he his dead. And the guy on his pushy (yes he had no lights or anything) but on that bridge you'd be blind not to see him, he was just riding and had no idea that last night was his last.
A few hours later, after traffic and all was normal a green hyundi drove up, stopped, looked at where the accident happened, ws then moving very slowly while still looking then sped off. You tell me that they don't know something! Of course it wasn't until afte they left that I was kicking myself for not getting their number plate.

Cheers Jo

G'day Andrew,they are pretty isolated tracks,they are a bit rough for the motor home though if you want to go any where quickish.We almost got to Old Cork, but due to back window breaking had to turn back to Winton to get some thing in the hole to stop more dust getting in.Then headed for Boulia & into the Diamantina N.P. from there the detour was worth the scenery & free drinking water. The N.P. was worth it as well.The zuk stopped on saturday just gone ,we don't know what is wrong yet it is at workshop now.She was not going to well out there either but i can't use that as an excuse.Just not enough power in the western side soft sand.Enjoy yourselves out there you won't be too disapointed,Cheer's Bob.

Thank's Theo, yes we had good a trip,&yes the sand was a bit soft as well,not that it is an xcuse but the zuk was also a tad off colour as well,now she at the doc's & we cant seem to get her to function yet. pulling one vehicle would be a strain not to mention with a trailer as well.Bob.
