Cheers Terry sounds good, still like to camp on the river somewhere as well PM sent. It's a Jeep only a Jeep owner would know how bad the GPS really is.

Glad you said that Ian we had a jeep owner here and he had the same GPS problems

You bet Dot words don't express how pathetic it really is. Thats the grumpy again must stop that.
Looks like we won't make it to Strath this time but maybe on the way back, I grew up in Pt Elliot/Victor area left area when in first year High, many moons ago.

The journey continues, after spending several days at Bordertown Lake and then onto Tintinara camped on another lake. WOW these small communities sure know how to impress a traveler with their facilities being a real credit to them.
On reaching the bright lights of Mannum, called in to say Hi and meet the "number one" new resident, well, talk about make a stranger welcome, "Just back in there, water, dump point here's a key need anything else". Oh and BBQ for tea OK. Thank you so much Terry & Margaret , but it just doesn't stop, "leave the car here, come with us and we'll organize a lift back to the van after", not sure if that was because its a Jeep , so the lift is with other people we haven't met yet, no probs Thanks Bruce & Wendy.
What a welcome to Mannum and this forum, but wait ....there's more, we meet Brian, a man of many talents and lover of cool drinks.Then along comes Dot & George, a special greeting from Dot another BBQ and more cool drinks, another great night. What could be better? Let me tell you. How about an evening cruise on the Murray, with a Fireworks Extravaganza in the middle of the river, Bruce Wendy just too much! How did you know both Bev & I love fireworks, and you arranged the display at such short notice amazing!
Thank You all, our say in Mannum was brilliant.
On the road again More to come.

Glad you both enjoyed your time here, it was a pleasure to have you both as guests, welcome back any time. Bruce & Wendy really know how to set up a great fireworks display eh, you should see the one they put on for New Yrs I wonder if we'll get Wendy up stairs again this yr, the brave young lady over came her fear of heights and open ladders to join us up top for the party last yr, we can over look the word that was uttered when Bruce started the engine to move on to a new spot while Wendy was on the top step of the ladder
Lots of new cells on their way so no problems if you want to do the lithium upgrade, it appears the court trip in Feb is only a one day event to get it moved on to the next stage, not the main event like we thought it was going to be, so we should be only away for the one day.
