ASIA ADVENTURES —
It’ll Hold
After a full day in town, in which we covered the whole town top to bottom looking for a fan hub, even the Toyota dealership was paid a visit as I knew they had the special oil I was after. Which, fun fact – is only available for Australia and not for sale in...
Round 1 – Fight!
Well, not fighting with people, just with the car. This is our first attempt at highway in the 40c heat, and let me tell you these mountains are giving me grief, as its mostly below 60kmh where we need the fan to aid, so we struggle, it never overheats, but it gets to...
Here We Go Again
A short blog, As we are just getting the wagon back out of storage for a small trip. There are some niggling issues starting to show their ugly heads, mainly the viscous hub is failing, but its original, so its done very well. I noticed it getting a bit warm on the...

The White Lady
Back in the wagon I cut across the back routes and we head south towards white lady, we stop about 10kms south for lunch. Russians and ciders. A good call as it’s a bit cool out with the wind. A family of giraffes wander around just down from the wagon paying us no...
Tourist Stuff
Waking up we shower, which is welcome after a few days in the dust and have a relaxing coffee. They must water the bushes near our tent as the bonnet is a bit wet and I absolutely eat shit off the bonnet, A good start to the day, we are off to the shop for a large...
Running On Empty

Waking up on day 4 to a stunning sunrise and a cup of coffee I began heading to Paniwonica hoping the rain hadn’t closed the roads, I had some flooding to deal with but nothing to major for the wagon. Just stay in the middle and you will be fine We were good and I...
Bogged
A good nights sleep on some grass and a warm shower had me on route and heading to Nanutara due to road closures from rain. Either way it was gravel so I was happy. Found an old grader on the way And an old water tank Quickly reached my destination.....
Just Stay On The Roads
A solid sleep and away we go for day 3. A trip planned to reach Mt. Agustus about 200kms to the east, but of course on route I go hunting for old mines, which lead to a field of quartz but no old pits sadly, and an old shearing shed on cobra station. Making my way the...
EUROPE ADVENTURES —
Sarajevo
Waking up in a bed is always nice as the swag is a bit tight on space now the Pina is full grown. We have a fantastic little apartment with a washing machines, so straight to chores before we head on out for the day. We don’t want to disturb the car so we do all of...
Bosnia Bound
I’m pretty sure we skipped breakfast today as Pina woke us up as per the normal at the crack of dawn, which actual works quite well for make the most of our days. We are spoilt with another cracker of a sunrise and find ourselves having a quick coffee before motoring...
Mouse In The House
The good news, no rain this morning and the sun is creating a spectacular light show over the lake. The bad news, Pina has taken about a 468% increase in interest to the headliner for some reason. As one would normally do, I smack the head liner, and I hear it, the...
