Busy Weekend in Mandurah October 2011

Hello Everyone,

Well we have had a busy few weeks since our last post.
Firstly with our car we have put our Roof Rack on and got the CB, Anderson Plug and Brake Controller fitted and Dave fitted our new Clearview Mirrors, after having them on the old car we definately wanted them again - So now we are Caravan ready :)

He looks a bit more rugged now!

We also went to a fairwell party for some of our friends in the Caravan Park who left to continue their travels:

A good night was had by all.

Last weekend we had another quick fully packed weekend in Mandurah. We drove down Thursday night and arrived at 12.30am Friday! After a nice sleep in we spent the day sorting our storage unit and of course shopping. We had dinner that night with Teigan and Aaron:

On Saturday Dave took Bec and Teigan and their Partners Shaun and Aaron to a gun range in Belmont - after our American trip they said they would like to try it - once was plenty for me so I didn't go :)

The Family that Shoots together stays together?

They said they all had a great time, Then we went out for a late lunch:

Then it was back to Kalgoorlie on Sunday - A very exhausting weekend, but it was great to catch up with the girls.

Now its back to work as usual and the big countdown to Christmas :) 8 Weeks to go!

Update from Kalgoorlie

Hi Everyone,

Well a bit has happened since our last update.

Firstly we have upgraded our car to a new Toyota Landcruiser Altitude - V8 Twin Turbo Diesel, it is a limited edition model with a couple of extra's like - Leather Electric Seats & Built In Sat Nav with reverse camera.

There was nothing wrong with our 100 Series apart from the fact it was now 6 years old! So we felt it was time to trade before we lost too much money on it. But of course we have gone back to a basic model so now we have to get our extras put on. One we have got done so far is the Bullbar:

We can use our old Roof Rack - just got to get some more brackets :) In the next couple of weeks we will get our CB, Antenna & Brake Controllers fitted. We can also refit our Black Widow Drawers from the 100 Series - again just had to buy some more brackets - saves alot of expense :) They are sitting in our Annexe at the moment - rather crowded in there :(

We took the car for a bit of a run today out to Ora Banda:

We had a lovely lunch out there - not that we really needed any food today as we went out for dinner last night with our Friends Cheryl & Tony to a Restuarant called Salt:
