We've
just spent two days at Lake George, an hour or
so north of Canberra. I should be working on the
truck so the only reason we took the time off
was to meet Malcolm Street from Caravan &
Motorhome magazine.
He
photographed the truck and interviewed us for
an upcoming edition, in three months he said.
(Should be in the November edition which comes
out in October ??)
We
camped at the rest area below the lookout at the
southern end of the lake (very nice with new dunnies)
then moved up to the lookout to meet Malcolm.
While
parked there we had visits from the RTA, traffic
patrol, Japanese tourists etc. The usual thing.
The deck overlooking Lake George and
looking north up the highway.
Interesting shadows under the truck
showing the aggressive off-road tread
pattern on the tyres.

On
pulling out of the carpark we had a choice, south
to Canberra and more work or north to places warm.
We turned south, oh well.
I've
finished the "library", pullout laundry
chute, rubbish bin and the control panel.
The "library", well some
bookshelves at least.
The slide-out rubbish and laundry
bins.
The control panel showing the various
dials and switches required to monitor
the solar, batteries etc.

We've also got the computer equipment in and,
even though the pantry was done months ago, I
haven't shown a photo yet.
The pantry in it's open position and the
computer gear. There is a bifold pocket
door that covers the computer when not
in use |
The
building we are currently working/living in has
just been sold and the new owners want to move
in.
There's
no pressure but they would prefer sooner rather
that later and as I said that we should be leaving
in August they are hoping for "early"
August.
We
won't be finished by then but we have to set a
date or we'll be here for ever, so it looks like
we'll be off in a few weeks.
As
I said there's no chance of being finished so
I'm now concentrating on doing what absolutely
has to be done and then installing things like
a workbench so I can continue working on the road.
