Eyre Peninsula – Feb 2021 – Streaky Bay
Elliston was lovely and restful – except when we wanted decent internet! – but it was time to move on, and Streaky Bay was our next destination. Here we cross onto the traditional lands of the Wirangu people.
It’s all about the weight
On the way to our first ever destination we stopped in at Lonsdale Sand & Metal which operates a public weighbridge.
Learning to tow
Almost two weeks ago now, Megan and I attended a towing course run by Tow Ed in the car park of Priceline Stadium.
First tow
Well it had to happen eventually. We’ve hooked up a caravan and had our first tow.
A tug named Quark?
A small measure of angst this week all surrounding tow mirrors.
The tug’s first report card
So the tug (VW Touareg) went in yesterday for its first service. This will be the first report on its condition we have had since buying it.
D’oh!
D’oh! Well this is embarrassing. ?
Heart troubles
I almost had a heart attack last night.
The tug
Well, we did it, we have a tug. We bought the Touareg from the Our new car? post.
Thunderbirds are go!
Our loan has been approved and contracts signed. Funds should be available inside 48 hours. “Thunderbirds are go!” indeed.
Our new car?
We have bought a new car! New to us that is.
Still more decisions. Selecting a tow vehicle.
Of course, if we are going to buy a caravan, we are also going to need a tow vehicle
