back to Mt Gambier

G'day to all

We are back in Mt Gambier to finish off the sale of our old van. It sold on Ebay so we didn't have to put it on consignmeant somewhere. we have said we will take it to Melbourne for fuel cost for the new owner. We are pretty sure that this will be the first caravan for the owner. He asked questions that he should have known the answers for before he purchased the van for instance "Will my Highlux tow it" and "Do I need special brakes for it" We plan to leave early tomorrow and come straight back as by then we will need to leave and make our way back home to Bairnsdale for Easter.

Returning to Bairnsdale and not have a home to actually go to is quite strange. Every now and then I get this strange feeling that brings with it the thought 'this is the way life will be for a long time, so get used to it' then I think to myself 'Yep, this is OK' and I move on. I hope I feel that way after Easter when it's time to head off again.

We do need to have a few things done to the van so that packing up is made easier for instance at one stop over we got talking to another couple who had their satellite dish mounted on a bent arm and as a result he didn't have to take it off and set it up somewhere near the van. Ken took pictures of it and will see if he can have one made in Bairnsdale. It takes up a lot of room in the back of the car and is quite awkward to move it around especially if what you want is right under it.

last time we were in Mt Gambier we didn't get to see all the local sites and attractions so today we are heading out to have a really good look around. We are going first to Pt MacDonnell which is just 20klms south and is said to be nice. There are a couple of lookout touristy spots that we wish to see also.

Time is away and Ken is keen to be on our way.

So shall speak to you again hopefully tonight if not when we get back from Melbourne.

Heaps of Love to one and all

Ken and Lyn
