Tragic
Hi there I have't posted for a while but this deserves one.
Each yea we do a big trip, last year Mungo N/P this year it was the Tanami & Gibb river, at this point alls well the girl was faultless.
In Broome we diverted the Cape Lavique Magic place then back to Broome.
Tragically we pick up some dodgy fuel as soon as we left the Shell in town the GU spewed black smoke, we limped to kunamurra progressively loosing power so of to a local mechanic for diagnosis ahhhhhhh,
Code 1084 I think, fuel pump fault.we are now in Kunnanurra waiting to fly home.
RACV have covered flights,accomadation, hire car and trucking cost for the GU and Camper,
If you dont have total care i recomend it total cost so far is $6000.00 repairs to come.
I willkeep all posted.

Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.
