Lawrie, I have really enjoyed this trip. I am quite sure that I will not get to Australia in this life so you are affording me a look at things and people that I have never seen. I love the pics looking out the windshield of your fabulous 33! I quit smoking cigarettes 52 years ago but, damn, I think it would be fun to smoke one with you and listen to your tales of adventure. What fun it would be to ride "shotgun" in your 33! Sincere Thanx!!!!!!!!! Don

No worries Don, I quit in 1970.
33 is fun n to be away in for sure,
Away next week in my 34 3W for 3 weeks

Thanks for the photos Lawrie. Very clever, and now I get how you engineered and built the system. I have one of those brains where I have to see the mechanicals 'in person'.
