I just put the sleeping bag in the camper.
Princess hopped in and went to sleep.
Think she knows what it is for.
Steves detour was tempting, but I need another day to get stuff done.
So I will be at Stratford meeting point on Saturday morn.

Glad you can still make it Chris. Should be a dust free weekend with any luck.

I forgot to mention that I will be carrying 40 litres of 98 RON fuel if anyone gets into trouble. I don't expect we will need any of it but just in case I am carrying extra. My expectation is that everyone will be down to half a tank at the end of Saturday. Fuels is available at Licola on the way out.

Should be a good weekend - hoping we don't get too much rain on Hotham! I'll carry 10 + 5L cans also. See you at Stratford!!
Cheers Richard

Looking forward to it Richard. Looks to me like there was not much rain around Hotham (about 25mm) but if the rivers are up there are alternative routes. I expect that the ground is so dry there was not that much run off so I don't expect any issues. We can always send the Land Cruiser through first if there is any doubt. Won't be the first time Tony has drowned a car! You must ask him about that around the camp fire.

Steve 125 has broken down at Morewell. He has called the RACV but he may be a non starter for tomorrow. He has a fuel supply problem. He will call me later to let me know the outcome.

Good news. Steve is back on the road again. RACV fixed his problem.

Definitely worth the money to be covered.
Wayne's fighting with a starter motor, but I reckon he will get it sorted in time.

Hi Fellas.
Really looking forward to this trip. About 2 o/clock this afternoon was going to fuel up. Turned the key and nothing happened. Checked connections all fine. Put multi meter on trigger wire, fine. Shorted solenoid, still nothing.
New starter motor from Suziworld. Now all systems go.
See you all at Stratford.
Regards, Wayne.
