Greetings,

Marko is back from his trip to the Flinders Ranges. Supposed to be up there for two weeks but it was very hot and very dry - which we expected to some extent. Mrs. Marko didn't cope with the heat too well however which is a worry. I think the next few trips will have to be along the Southern coast of Oz, perhaps a beach run. Of course runs into the Victorian/NSW alps will continue as per normal. We only made it as high as Blinman then across to Parachilna where I got a Kangaroo Gyros! Beautiful countryside and it's easy to see why it is such a popular spot.

So we lasted one week there then headed down to Port Germein for a night. Across to McClaren Vale for a few days and Barossa for a few more to fill in the trip. I don't think Mrs.Marko will be up for another desert type trip again. Running water is a must for Mrs. Marko. However her grumpiness during the trip can now be put down to the fact that she was carrying Marko Junior! Junior would have been about 4-6 weeks old. So that explains her discomfort, ocassional throwing up along with being very hot when it was only hot. Junior is a bit of a suprise but a nice one indeed. Off to the doc tonight to start finding out what in the world we do from here (panic!!).

So whenever people posted about kiddies and the like Marko always ignored such posts... not any more. How in the world do you fit all your stuff along with a junior? Don't answer that one yet...

Oh I was also prepared to do many things of a mechanical nature to the 80series - none of which needed doing. Not one flat tyre, broken belt, blown hose - nothing. Excellent! Thank you for all your input.

Marko
