Wednesday 29th November 2006, (Windang).
We have now been in Windang for a month now, and where has the time gone? We haven’t done, or seen, anywhere as much as we would have liked to, but with the weather not being so good and having friends here it is not so unusual that this is the […]

Friday 24th November 2006.
More dilemmas with the GPS with the new software discs turning up yesterday. I loaded it onto my laptop and had a play with it. I noticed it has the facility to download software to the PDA unit if versions are of a later version, of which these new discs were. Turning […]

Tuesday 21st November 2006, (Windang).
More dramas with electrics this time, with the battery in the caravan failing. I forgot to turn on the trickle charger last night, as I usually do so the battery doesn’t discharge too much, and after about 4 hours of running the TV, voltage dropped enough to for it to fail. […]

Monday 20th November 2006, (Windang).
Another week without putting words down because I have been busy. The weather has still been awful so I have had plenty of time to consider the purchase of the satellite unit. I did make the purchase and have spent some time getting it going, and then working out where to […]

The inclement weather over the last couple of days has given me a chance to do a little maintenance around the van.
An idea given to me by our next door neighbour was implemented yesterday. His idea was to adapt some inner pieces of timber, but in my case plastic, up the […]

Sunday 12th November 2006, (Windang).
Still not a great deal done due to the weather not being cooperative, but we will get to do and see what we want one day.
Today saw the local truck run for handicapped kids, and it was longer than one could attempt to explain. I heard this strange engine noise at […]

Wednesday 8th November 2006, (Windang).We have decided to stay here for possibly 3 weeks as the area is spectacular and we would like to see as much as we can.
The weather fined up a little today so we went for a drive around the area for a familiarisation look, and we did like what we […]

Sunday 5th November 2006, (Windang).Back in April 2004 I made comment about how we were having trouble with water pressure at Legana caravan park, and how it kept popping our hose joints apart and caused a leak in the caravan. We have found that Windang has a similarly high water pressure, if not higher than […]

Friday 3rd November 2006, (Windang- Shell Harbour).We have had a nice rest after our long trip the other day and have now moved on to Windang Near Shell Harbour, just south of Wollongong. See the map below.

This trip was only about 120 Km, which was a much more enjoyable short trip. We were in this […]

Wednesday 1st October 2006, (Sydney).We did move yesterday and had planned on going half way to Sydney, but there were severe storms forecast for the area that we had thought of stopping, and the same for the next couple of days, so we thought that if we were going to get wet we may as […]
