Bird complains that when she went to register her new car (2009 Prado with 200k on the clock, ex-mining vehicle) the DOT also made her pay nearly $2700 in duty for the transfer. She wasn't happy. Look at the papers and she still has both copies of the MR9 transfer of ownership. She never handed the papers in and 2 months down the track this is the result. Apparently, the car rego expired so DOT sent the former owner a letter telling them the car rego was expired and it was not to be driven on the road. They tell DOT that they sold the car. DOT then applied the full duty based on the current market value of $45,000. She had $25,000 as the purchase and market price on her transfer papers that she hadn't handed in. Shite happens when you don't do the right thing.

And then there was the motorcyclist who crashed and wrecked his machine on the Connie Sue. Wanted to know if he could get a tow truck locally (Warburton) to pick the bike up and repair it.

Should have used DHL. We had a Saffa mate riding his Honda XR600 in North East Africa/Sahara blow his engine. Walked 20km to the nearest village with a phone to make a call back to London. His housemate in London took the engine off his second bike and dropped it off at DHL, who then couriered the engine to the closest town where they arranged for a passing overland truck to take it to the village. A week later he was back on the road

Now that's customer service! ��

We had a guy from Sydney that had a map that displayed the Canning Stock Route as a continuous red line. Now, we all know what the Canning is and it's not a major highway. Needless to say, he didn't get far before his renta fourbie bit the dust. And then there was the motorcyclist who crashed and wrecked his machine on the Connie Sue.

Wanted to go from Geraldton to the wolf creek crater and back in a day.

Korean guy, living in Canberra, decided to head off in his FJ Cruiser and travel to see the desert. He got somewhere neer Jamieson WA (near Warburton) where the FJ broke down. After spending 3 days trying to get the car going he set off on foot in search of the "main" road. After 7 days without food and water he was found staggering along a track by some workers. They took him to the Warburton clinic. Lucky for him (1) the daytime temperatures weren't too hot and (2) passers by found him. Apparently, his mobile phone GPS provided him with coordinates but there was no phone signal for him to ring for help. Funny that.

I really want to be surprised by this. But I'm not.

I met a Japanese backpacker in Sydney who showed me a postcard of Australia, pointed to Brisbane and asked if he could cycle there in a day.
