Back from the Goldfields

Darn pity work gets in the way of travelling. Have another week's leave booked in November to go to Bali where my sister and partner have built a house up in the mountains. Then i will have to tell the boss where to go next year for a longer period so we can go north or central during winter. Regards to you and Judith (How is the knee?)

Hi JohnR

I think the panel is an 90 watt one, we bought some years ago to use with the wind up van. Can't say much about the battery - bought locally, so bill tells me nothing but 'battery'. We ran a 40 litre Engel round the clock, and two 12 volt fluro lights (from the old caravan days too). That was all we had running from it - no inverter.

Hi Davoe - My map shows Nalarine Rock about 5 kms west of the track. There weren't any obvious side tracks coming from it. We camped by a salt lake about 9 kms south of the GE Hwy, and were surprised to see passing traffic - firstly a young geologist who asked us if we knew where we were because he was a bit lost, and a CALM vehicle who drove south and returned a bit later. A few although vehicles probably from companies to do with mining exploration. We only tackled this track as a grader was going through, and had been preceded by a bulldozer which had moved off blockages and trimmed overhanging branches.

We only tackled the major roads through the woodlines, ie south the Burra Rock and Cave Hill Rock (where we stayed overnight), and back to west Victoria Rock Road from Cave Hill. That was a lovely drive through regrowth sand plains full of wildflowers. As you say, we probably would have gone OK on some of the lines.

It is actually 2km and it aint there - i walked round that whole area

Hi briggzee - The Bushtracker is dust proof but it stayed home this time. The F250 lets dust in around the tailgate, and even with some self adhesive foam stripping we never sealed it all.
