    today we went to the arts centre in yirrkala and brought our selves some aboriginal art......the art work in there is just amazing, i just wished i had more money to buy stuff

    the painting we brough was painted by a young girl so it had no explination or anything but we have her name so wouldn't mind conituing to buy her work.
    we then got driven around to see the various parts of the mine and refinery...this was after spending the moring at the lagoona taking a few piccies of the various birds down there. oh and derek took us to shady beach. that was really pretty also.

    so much of this place just looks like an untouched unspoilt paradise

    then it has been checking the car over and stuff, and twoing and frowing with the guy who sold us our HF as we cant get it working, but since found the problem.
    so we are leaving in the morning.

    yesterday was good also got shown around town and stuff met up with a few landy owners for a BBQ, and all just very pleasant.
    Our Land Rover does not leak oil! it just marks its territory.......

    Hi, yes it is a poly-air valve. I find these excellent when loaded up, towing a boat. These allow us to level the rear of the Defender. Empty we run the poly-airs just under about 10 psi and when towing about 15 - 18 psi.

    This is the 3rd vehicle on which we have had airbags.

    Cheers, Erich.

    When you get back to Sydney give us a call and we might be able to trace the artist - maybe even put you in touch.

    Have a safe trip out on the track.

    Cheers, Erich & Sheila.

    It is an unspoilt paradise, and much more so further out of town.

    It's a shame you couldn't stay longer....next time maybe.



    Enjoy the rest of your trip.

    Safe driving.

    Cheers

    Actually I am not sure about the water temp yet - there is a 10mm air gap and air is a pretty good insulator. If the water does get warm I will either remove the rear silencer or insert an insulator ( or just have a cold beer instead)

    We went for a drive down the coast on Monday (about 200kms) It was quite hot during the day and the water in the stainless tank was cool as.

    I can confirm that the water does get hot on long drives :P we have a water tank in the same place although our tank is plastic but i would not have thought that that would mattered.

    Hi, This water tank is home made, 45 usable litres. The dimensions are on the photos. If you make one, probably advisable to make it about 25mm narrower as you don't have to remove the side ribs as one of the photos shows.

    Also the fill point interferes with the number plate position. This has been moved to the other side to make way for a shovel / axe holder.

    I have taken a few pics as the installation proceeded. If you want more info Please ask and I will post it

    Rear view


    Side view


    Pic showing everything which was removed to make way.


    Inside lip of guard and flare had to be trimmed to make way. I also covered the wheel arch side of the tank with sound deadener.
