DAY 12

We headed for Tumut with a stop at Beechworth on the way through... Of course the Beechworth Bakery was our first stop..





I found an absolute GEM of a place in Beechworth... The local RACV contractor. Still using original style vehicles for his breakdown assistance...
I spent ages talking to the owners..

They had this 67 Camaro that they have owned since new and they also had a 71 model...

We finally arrived in Tumut and set up camp.. Dad and I went for a drive to check out some ruins in the town before from the goldrush days.

There were many many more out there. Alot of places we drove through we could see old trucks and cars out the back but didn't have the time to stop and look...

DAY 13

didn't consist of anything to exciting.. We drove from Tumut through to Newcastle to my parents place in Shortland. Although we did get to traverse the new motorways... Great roads but as boring as bat you know what..

The dog on the tucker box was about as exciting as it got... Oh and Krispy Kreme donuts LOL



We can't get these in WA so they are a bit of a novelty...



Mum and Dads Rig and MUMSRIG

DAY 16

We took a drive to the Jayco dealer to check out a possible upgrade for the camper??



I couldn't resist...



DAY 17

saw the transformation of my mate from Roxby's new 100 Series.. He purchased it from QLD and had it delivered to my folks place, he also purchased a factory alloy winch bar and a winch plus a set of fog lights for the bar.. The idea being that I would have it all ready for him to drive to Bathurst and then back to Roxby before he arrived in Newie via the plane the night before we left.



What an absolute mission!! It took all day to fit up and I wired in two harnesses, 1x for the fogs and another for spots...



I will update this thread with more later.....

We almost had an incident on the track. We had just passed over a dead emu and were talking about it when a live one decided to run out onto the track, it glanced off the XROX bar and kept motoring along in front of us for a bit... We captured the video on the little DVR camera mounted in the front screen.

Will have to change your name to Wiley Coyote, that emu is almost as fast as the road runner
