Ooopppps!

Two ooopppps!

1. I may have jumped the gun a little. We didn't head off on our trip last week, but we did leave Biloela and make it to Kirsty's folk's place at the Sunshine Coast. But the really exciting news is we do head off tomorrow morning (Tuesday) for Brisbane and then a little further afield...maybe Stanthorpe. In my books, that's officially 'on the road'. Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We will be heading south through NSW, ACT and hopefully into the Victorian High Country. Have to be at the Port of Melbourne on March 7th at 8am to catch the Spirit of Tasmania across the strait to the Apple Isle.

The 2nd oopppppps was not mine! On Friday we had the Navara booked in for roof rack and side rail fittings. The latter went well, the former, not so great! The fitter failed to fit the racks correctly...one was 100mm out. So we then got to spend a whole other day at the coast while the panel beater removed the racks; welded up the holes - which included peeling back some of the interior ceiling; refitting the racks in the right place then painting and drying and blending the roof. But he did it well and we're back on track. The rig sure looks good with the roof rack and basket and the side rails now on....we'll post pics soon. So apart from a couple of little jobs Jon is doing now and packing the whole thing properly, we're ready to go!
