Yes Tony, they do require a bit now and then, but at least they can be fixed readily, even when 600km from home!

Tony is alluding to the fact that I lost a fan blade, (but due to good planning I had a spare fan with me)

We also had to replace a broken gear selector in my brother's PJ, with a spare one sent over from Wellington on the car ferry with a friendly truckie.

And just to show that good things come in threes, I had to A-frame his PJ over on the ferry as he was laid low by an insect bite and had two nights in hospital, but was able to fly over Friday.

So Geoff, we do have some biting nasties here, but they may have been brought over from Oz by the likes of Tony!
We also have Wallabies and Possums too, but they are shot and poisoned on sight!

ps safely home at 4am this morning after 14 hrs trip
