Now I have found it very hard to get oil since I left Exmouth the oil pick up guys are very efficient I even rang one called Fataway to see if I could purchase some oil what a shock 83c a litre + gst and I needed a certificate in safe work practices I just had to have a laugh hoping to pick up some oil in Perth and meet some Members regards Kevin

Re: Finally Travelling OZ on SVO

Hello everybody well we have made it to Port Augusta. Firstly I must apologise to Tim for not hanging around for the Meeting but it was just such a long time to spend in Perth waiting and also thanks to Tim and Tony for your help with supplies . We have had a few filter changes since leaving Perth because I got slack with my filtering system and was pouring oil into tank with a strainer in the funnel but have returned back to good old woollies bags had to change z9 filters twice across the Nullarbor which I don't normally do .Well it went from one extreme to another on the crossing 43 degrees one day 19 the next I broke a spring on the trailer and made some repairs at Mundrabilla roadhouse it wasn't easy as parts don't exist so had to improvise when I get home will purchase two new springs but will get some extra leaves to carry the weight
We are cutting the trip a bit short due to some family matters but will be back on the road again shortly and will do the bottom half of oz and Perth next time
