It was a fun drive, Great weekend with great company. Ralph decided to play silly buggers though. We by-passed the sediment filter at Maroon thinking that was causing the fuel starvation and all was good until we got onto White Swamp Road when it reared it ugly head again. This time we blew down the fuel line back thru to the tank (words of wisdom from Harry) and he behaved himself after that. Luckily I went 1st down Condamine River Road as it was interesting trying to stop after the 2nd crossing with a gut full of water in the drums . After a walk at the falls we had happy hour on the Mason's verandah we had a nice night sitting in front of a genuine imitation log fire inside our cabin sipping on a few bottles of red. Sunday morning after bacon & eggs on the verandah, we slowly cruised back into Killarney, I fueled up and we made our way across the top of the mountain through Yangan and across to Gladfield, down to Aratula for a coffee. As we left I heard a strange noise coming from under the bonnet, stopped, found the water pump letting go. Filled it up with some Bar's Leak and topped it up with about 1ltr of water. Drove home stopping every 15 minutes to check but only putting about 250mm in each time. Now to find a new water pump.
Cheers Ian
