WA bound......

Well finally on my trip to the great western state....had a few false starts before & a couple of hiccups,but it's actually happening now......I left Toowoomba on Monday (as I've been working up there for a couple of years) I headed down the coast(northern Nsw),because I had to drop a bit gear off to Curt & Don from C & D Volkswagens & while I was there the boys gave my bus a final once over before my trip...So glad they did,because they did find a few issues & worked hard into the night to sort them out.(Champions) After spending a couple of days on the north Coast,I left this morning heading inland...The bus was just purring along,until about 12km out of glen Innes,a stone flew up from a semi going the other way,Smashed the drivers side windscreen (very annoying) anyway found a bloke to replace it for me, but he can't do it until tomorrow.So here I am booked into a motel for the night.Thought it might get a bit cold camping in a split with no windshield,especially when they're talking about a snow fall tonight.......I know,I'm a wimp.........I'll try to get some photos up of my journey but I don't seem to have much luck using my iPhone.........catch ya's

Good one kimbo. Glad we could help getting the bus sorted. Bad luck about the windscreen but I'm sure are comfy in the motel. The bus looked awesome pulling out this morning with trailer on the back. Should be quite a adventure. Keep everyone posted on the trip.
