Hi Heather, pleased to hear you're back on the road again. I will be keen to hear
your impressions of the Corner & Innamincka regions, as that forms part of our next
journey. I read that access north from Innamincka may be restricted, but you are
no doubt up to speed on all that. I look forward to reading your "on the road"
epistles. cheers....oldbaz.

When will you be in the corner country. there is a lot to see if you know where to go. I have done a lot of work in the area, and know a few interesting spots. Take notice on the way from Tib to the corner of the flood level in the mid 70s, it is hard to believe that there could be water there. Call into Milparinka and have a look at the history of the area. Will be in the area the first two weeks in June.

Hi Baz and Silvwayne,

Have been doing a lot of research and reading of the area and looking forward so much to seeing the country, visiting historical places of interest etc. Also keeping an eye on weather forecasts, road conditions and closures, and will check closer to our expected arrival time there.
Looks like we won't get into Coongie Lakes but everywhere else we want to go is open at this time. Of course things may change in days or even hours...we will be flexible and well prepared.
We might see you somewhere Silvwayne...the back of our dark grey pajero has three or four ExplorOz stickers and the van has a couple plus a wheel cover so we arent too hard to spot!

Regards,

Heather

G'day Pete, I did indeed note the addition to your Jack stable. Sounds like a gift.
It cost me a few bob to get the timing belt & water pump service done, & I took your advice & added a trans cooler. It ran like a clock & handled the van with ease & I
thought the fuel thing was pretty good too. Still the best value 4wd wagon for the
$$$ on the market...as I keep saying..:)))..cheers....oldbaz.

good thinking baz, when we brought Sals I had the Auto serviced straight away, because the previous owners owned a van. they said they did not use it much, but the Mech said the oil was burnt so saved us and expensive repair done the road. This was why I advised you to get yours done. Glad you enjoyed your trip.
Its sad they are starting to get a bit old, but I will keep my eye out for a really good 02/03 SE, not that their is anything wrong with mine(apart from a sticky egr valve)
Cheers Pete
