Alice Springs – Day 20

Today we focused mostly on the kombi. I tested everything I could think of and changed almost all of the electric’s (plugs, points, coil, etc) but it didn’t make any difference. There was no way we could drive onto to Tennent Creek the way Shirl was so in the end we decided to call NRMA. They arrived in around 30 minutes and suspected that it was a fuel problem most likely caused by Opal fuel. The kombi had to be looked at by a mechanic, the only problem was the earliest we could get into see a mechanic was Monday, some where a two week wait. So we are spending a bit longer in Alice

Seeing that the kids had been so good throughout the day we decided we would take them to Hungry Jacks for dinner and to the Movies to see ‘Get Smart’, which was quite funny. It was a good way to end a stressful day.
