Pre-Departure checks...

The bus has its new front springs, new rear shockers ( at $800 each) and newly Thermashield painted roof. AND the solar panels are finally on (after the painting). They are keeping the fridge going and the batteries topped up. As long as we don't watch too much TV they should match the usage pretty well.

The awnings are (back) on. The new one with the electric motor is on the kerb side and is great!!! Having the re-built (after the mishap at Cooktown) original awning on the driver's side will also be great for shade and keeping any rain out of the open windows... and it can double as a carport, being 5 x 2.5 m.

The original dual front passenger seat has been re-covered with the leather from the Prado rear seats of the interior we bought - very salubrious lounge now. And the bus has finally had a wash!

We are planning to hit the road next Monday 25th.
Part 1 - Plan A is below... but it's just a plan... with a few days up our sleeve, to be in Malanda by July 5th.
