A quick update from Oz

It has been a busy time since we left Asia. So busy, I still haven’t managed to edit all the photos or even finish the travel journals for South East Asia.
Since we're back to Australia. We picked up the van and restarted touring around Oz. A tour that so far proved to be a challenge. Especially for my van that was never built for the "roads" we took. We drove across the Gibb River Road while in worse condition than on my first drive, conquered the Great Top End Road (The Savannah Way) with its demanding unsealed tracks and as a final challenge took on Cape York.

Properly shaken and bathed in dust we are currently heading to Cairns. Here we will take a short though important break from traveling and give the van some good TLC.

Fixes to get done:

  • Work on the Gearbox
    • The shifter is jamming partially
  • New Windscreen
  • Put in new Fuel Pump
    • The old one creates a horrible sound – works though.
  • Fix a Coolant Leak (Stop Leak will do)
  • Fix an Oil Leak
    • Clean the Engine
    • Refit the spark Plugs (That’s where it leaks from)
  • Potentially change a Front Bearing
  • Give the car a good clean
Also I will try to get some new photos edited and uploaded as well as more detailed posts of our Travels.
