Looking Out 2014
Travels during 2014
New England Tablelands
We have been hard at it on the Amesz truck for the last few weeks getting ready for a trip down to the New England tablelands. A few maintenance jobs were required on the truck including:
- General clean
- A service including grease and oil
- Fixing folding arm on steps
- A little paint on the bull bar.
- A couple more improvements to the fridge including a little foam strip to help seal the freezer better and a small spacer to allow more cold air to the bottom of the fridge.
The truck feels well prepared for its trip to the New England tablelands.
Bundaberg
With Alison totally exhausted and in bad health, we decided it was time to take her to Bundaberg. This would be a great chance for her to try and find some of that lost energy she is most famous for. So this trip would not cover a huge distance and was planned to be restful.
