Hi All

While in Darwin we revisited a view places and washed the car and
generally did nothing but we did take some photos you may be interested
in seeing so enjoy.

Just a little bit of info re the servicing up here. in the out back of WA, it seems they make money by way of not being quiet honest as to problems that interstate travellers have ie. Halles Creek we where told it was a radiator cap after a tests? $285, Kunnunura radiator test, thermostat and lose hose was the problem $412 and still no fix?, to me it was a case they see you coming and make $.
Darwin luckily after struggling 950 km and being towed into Darwin once again, we found some one who was honest and did the repairs.
I would like to say if you are thinking of traveling anywhere long or short distance, you cannot go without RACV Total Care road side service, for $180 per year money well spend, each lay up we had ie Halls Creek, Kunnunura and Darwin, RACV paid for the CV park and a Hire Car, for the period our car was in the work shop a total of 28 days so we did not have that expence, so I say it is a must .have.
After all that stress we travelled a whole 100km to Adelaide River where I am writing this from, we will be here for two nights before moving on.
