So, where were we?

Ah yes, the coil. A new and correct part has fixed the starting problem and now Lulu is running like a train. I think the old ABT railway train is probably a good comparison. You know the one that climbs the hill slower than a man could walk? Yep, that one! Actually she's running pretty good but like the ABT she's a little slow on inclines. Good thing we wont be in a hurry. We have just spent a week in Hobart which included a couple of days down at Cockle Creek, the end of the road. Weather was superb if not a little chilly in the mornings and it really is a beautiful place. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be any fish there. Only currawongs suffering from diarrhoea and thieving tiger cats! All in all the trip was a success and outlined a few small problems that we'll be able to rectify before the big trip starts. So far the solar panel and fridge are working well but it will be interesting to see how we go in the heat when the fridge has to work a bit harder. Only time will tell. We also decided to add the Big Spud at Sassafras to the big things list on the trip stats page. Hopefully we'll be able to add several more big things in the not too distant future. Stay tuned.
