Looked at shipping my disco back to the uk today

$3500

Yeah thats not happening

Them's Aussie dollars not pounds!!

 

[200tdi ayre]

I just bought a very good V8 xs that needs a sill, couple of mud flaps and a patch in the A pillar for £430. Your £3500 will go along way to making a good one.

Yeah exactly, $3500 to ship and the 3000 I can get for it here by selling is around £4000 I can buy something very nice or make something nice for that. Not worth it.

[200tdi ayre]

right its about time i updated the last few weeks

firstly i spend 3 days driving Fraser Island, if you don't know what Fraser Island is, its the worlds largest sand island being 140 km from end to end of almost continuous beach driving

here's a beasty 130



some beasty patrols (i know )



this guys job is to drive all the tracks in australia to map them best job in the world


and of course my girl















So after the last 2 pictures which were at the top of the island I realised I had 2 hours to get to the ferry at the bottom of the island 140 km away

And I made it !!! Just

Next came my squba diving training in the Great Barrier Reef

After 2 days in the pool and classrom then 3 days at sea I became a qualified adventure fiver which means I can dive down to 30 metres (and did) and dive recreationally at night which is a very cool experience



This is wally the maori wrasse he loves playing with divers


He even gave me a tow to the surface which was amazing


And of course the rest of the beauty of the reef

You have to have a preety good leak somewhere to loose 4.5 litres, im guessing at a bust brake line somewhere if as I guess youve checked behind the wheels for bleeding and leaks. Pipes at the master cylinder done up fully, not cross threaded etc ?

Commodo dragons only live on kommodo island. You probably saw goannas theyre preety common

Yeah lake mckensey is beautiful and yeah did my diving course in cairns
