Day 4 – Short run to Ceduna Brekky at the servo/caravan park - TopicsExpress

Day 4 – Short run to Ceduna Brekky at the servo/caravan park eatery, nice. Pack up the CT in the rain – not happy, Jan. Drive to Ceduna on LPG, and made it to the outskirts before it run out. On cruise control most of the way, and managed 31L/100Kms. Had an electrical issue with the truck – plugged in an iPhone charger, and blew a fuse, which took out the radio, and the UHF. Only thing to do was listen to SWMBO trying to get her 10,000 words in….. stopped at Ceduna early to fix the fuse. Fuse panel hidden in the left footwell, and gotta do a contortionist act to get up there to get to it. All fixed now – thanks BP for having a good selection of fuses, and comparatively cheap LPG prices. Set up in foreshore caravan park (in the rain), and place is set up like a forward operating base in Afghanistan – close the gates at 8PM, barbed wire, and special codes to get in. Maybe they don’t want the locals to use the toilets…? Purchased some camp toasters – the “special” one we had basically dried the bread after 10 mins, but no visible toasting effect. Still raining – makes things green, but no sightseeing. Found a design flaw in the tent, with the skylight in the annex above the kitchen – its leaks from the join with the canvas, onto the stove. Only option at this stage is to head where it ain’t raining! Had complaints about no pictures – every shot included windscreen wipers!
