Kombi Blog

The Mechanic in Marla told us that the cause of the breakdown were the points, unfortunatly he didn’t have any, but luckly I still had the old set I took out in Alice.  After a few phones calls we discovered that someone in Coober Pedy had some points in Stock so we decided to put the old ones in and head there.

By the time Shirl was ready it was almost lunch time and shirl made the 220km’s without any problems. As soon as I got to Coober Pedy I made sure to I got hold of the points, in fact I brought three sets just to be sure!

Seeing it was early afternoon we took some time to have another look around Coober Pedy (we really like the place) before heading to John’s Pizza for dinner - if you are ever in Coober Pedy be sure to have a meal at John’s.

Tonight we are all spending the night in the Kombi, kids up stairs and Carolyn and I down, this way we hope to get away early in the morning.

Here are some pictures of today
