Sorry it has taken me so long to find out old mate.
It was an honour to have met you

Last Saturday, after exactly two years of bodywork and paint (approximately 90 days of work total), my Patrol came back!
This is a personal milestone in this restoration and I am very happy that...

After leaving Louisa Bay, we headed to the tip of the island to our next camp spot, Turtle bay, just for a night.
You need to go through the cat proof (electric) fence that has been erected. The...
We headed North after leaving Murchison House Station and were bound for Steep Point. The drive was around 6 hours or so, and it can be a bit hit and miss going into Steep Point depending on when the...
The Missus and I recently had a quick trip from Perth to Dirk Hartog island and back and I thought I'd throw a few pics up.
On the way up we decided to camp at an old favourite, "Murchison House...
And another response, this from the chap I'd been hoping would reply. He runs a business building & installing lithium batteries & their associated solar systems. I had not mentioned any possibility...
Ohhhhh you had a flash new age portable..... This was our portable, trouble is, it only ran on mains power so we could only go as far as the mains lead would allow, and the speakers were separate...
