Educating Canadians

[Max Hedges]

we have tried on several occaisions to start Chris on the the great Aussie tradition of vegemite, Chris will now be able to enjoy vegemite on toast every morning on the trip with Kathy

You could really get him firing with a nice strong cup of BONOX to wash the vegemite down

[Max Hedges]

Chris now that you've finally got the taste for vegemite on toast you can try sao's with vegemite for lunch, plus try whatever keefy has up his sleeve. Perhaps Chris your next challenge could be to convince these canadians to give it a try.

PS you could ask Tony about how many blisters he has on his hands today.Perhaps he needs a lend of your gloves.

So what has Tony been up to end up with blisters?

[Max Hedges]

Euan, Tony had the choice between a log splitter and a block buster to cut the wood and guess which one he picked.

Chris, it looks like the road from Innamincka to Birdsville is closed, due to flood damage. The road had opened up from Camerons Corner to the Strzelecki Track so we will be able to go to Maree and possibly look at Lake Eyre.

Wise choice Tony , blisters don't require 3 days in hospital having finger bones replaced with metal and screws

After 2 exciting days with Bob and another 2 days on Kangaroo Island visiting Penguins, Aussie Sealions, NZ Fur Seals and Remarkable Rocks, I'm back in the colder climate in Melbourne. Got picked up by Keith on Saturday and got to drive my old girl.

Gosh, thanks to Ganmain Tony and his Magic Hands on Carbi's she's running beautifully and very powerful. Perfect for the Swiss Mountains. Think I could overtake even a Jeep

I had a good drive yesterday and today and polished the gears a little bit. Good I had a go cause I think I would have not remembered not to pull the clutch 100% through, otherwise I could never had found a gear and wouln't be able to drive her out of the container in Switzerland. How embarrassing...

I also paid a short visit to Euan and looked again at his latest project, soon ready on the road.

Here are 2 videos I took:

PS Most embarassing moment. Drove in 3rd gear into Keiths property and stalled her. Couln't start her afterwards because the carbi was flooded... Luckily there weren't any other visitors...
