Maiden Towing Trip with New Cruiser

Cruisers maiden voyage with our van.

Hi Everyone,

With 2 weeks before we leave Kalgoorlie, we had a Party invitation to a friends 50th just outside of Toodyay (about a 6 hour drive) - so we though perfect opportunity to take the van as we hadn't towed with the new Cruiser yet!
Well everything worked perfectly :) Dave was really impressed with the power of the new car. But of course after confirming we do have the Power it was time to back off a little to save the fuel :(

We free caamped the first night just outside of Kal at Boondie Rock:

Then we headed off the next morning after a lovely cooked breakfast :)

We came across a few wide loads too:

We got to the party about 4pm - it started at 5 so plenty of time to set up:

Ha - didnt have to do much, just level out with the airbags! :)

The party was on a property in a shed. Anna had chosen an anything 60's theme for the occassion

Everyone really looked great:

Bob Marley - AKA Squid!

Dave, me & Scooby AKA Bob!

Margie & Ray

Hippy & The Mad Hatter



Dave & Bob

Every man's dream Bar in the shed!

Scooby & Cruella - Bob & Birthday Girl Anna.

It was a really good night, we retired to our van about 11pm after quite a few Bundy's :) But the rest partied on until 2am!

We were treated to a lovely BBQ breakfast before we headed off the next morning.

We spent Sunday night at another free camp - Karalee Rock, which was pretty good. Heaps of vans in there.

Now we are back in Kalgoorlie with 11 days until we leave - Yeh!!!!!!!!!

We head off on Saturday 5th May heading up to Leonora than across the Great Central towards Ularu - Weather permitting of course - otherwise it is across the Nullabor.

We will keep you all updated as things progress,

Cheers & Happy Travels
