"tanks is ON THE ROAD again

[Dot]

Greetings Keith & Russell, sorry about your mum but she would want you to get going and enjoy life so go for what ever you feel like doing. (within reason) Spin a bottle to see which way to head. Have fun and keep the reports coming.

[Keith Morris]

"tanks" here ---I have decided to leave Broome and head on to DERBY a little further North. I will miss the Broome Races but then again I don't usually go to the races, so I'm not missing very much.
I can do Derby in one day or one week or perhaps a bit longer. I will call in again when I get to somewhere, and when I have the Telstra doogle/diddle/dongle thing getting a signal.
Keith.

"tanks"here---I made it to somewhere between DERBY and HALLS CREEK I spent the afternoon [happy 3 hour] with some people fron NSW and Victroia.
I now have to cook the evening meal --- I lie ---I have just decided to have a prawn salad. [saves washing up] Russell is happy and enjoying the diversion and we are both enjoying the nice nights and hot days.
Next stop [in a few days] may be Fitzroy Crossing, but I am told that it is not a secure town-- If you leave the Sprinter, the locals may steal your nuts, as well as the wheels, and I don't want to loose my nuts.
Where are all of the Forum Members ?.
Keith.

Keith you should always carry a couple of spare nuts just in case, best to keep them in a bag of some sort close to your person, you never know when you might need them

Hey Keith, we had a great time in the pub at Fitzroy Crossing. The tiny caravan park is next door to the pub. in fact i think it may be owned by the pub, you pay your camp fees at the bar. We (my wife & I) were the only whitefellas in the bar (which was packed) & once we'd broken the ice, by knowing to refer to folks as 'bro' we were made incredibly welcome by a mob of sociable folk who wanted to know all about our travel experiences. I'd recommend it. Don't listen to all the 'stories, which get repeated & repeated, check places out for yourself, you won't regret it.

I did Halls Creek and Fitzroy Crossing. I'm now at the Showgrounds at Kununurra, after doing Wyndam and the Grotto, and the 5 Rivers Lookout.
I will be here for a few days over the weekend as I have to have work done on my generator when the mechanic goes back to work on Monday.
The night temp is around 18-20 degrees and today the temp reached 35 degrees. No wonder there are so many Victorian and S.A. number plates up here.

18 deg is our top today here in SA Keith. What's the prob with your genny? pat for Russell x

"tanks" here---
Hi there Dot, I got on the turps with a few of the tenants at Spring Creek and let the generator run out of fuel while I was having a few too many.
I tried to start it next day and - no go. I checked the oil and fuel, and I could smell petrol after around 10 tugs on the start rope. NO GO !.
I thought that I had flooded the carby, or fouled the plug, so I pulled the plug and cleared the cylinder by cranking the motor several times, and the plug was not wet BUT no spark.
It is a 3.5 kva "import" and one of the blokes said that the Honda has a Glass Fuse that blows if the motor runs out of petrol. The Honda manual says to take the unit to your Honda Dealer if this happens.
This unit I have is not a honda and the honda bloke in Kununurra wont even look at it if it is not a honda. so its off to another mechanic on Monday morning.
