Connecting the new Trunk for our OzTent


This weekend, we are down in Nowra, where we store our van. Bucko and Ian Salway, (from Caravan CoverUp), are welding additional struts to the back of the van, for the new trunk which will house our Oz Tent. The trunk will be welded and bolted to the new struts, which connect back under and onto, the chassis of the van Once in Sydney, we will most likely have additional rear brake lights etc added to the trunk; the existing lights will not be obscured, but we feel extra lights may be of benefit. Bucko has just shown me the 'Do Not Overtake Turning Vehicle' stickers which will also be added to the back of the caravan, these are the same stickers one sees on trucks. As our rig will be rather long in total length, we need to have these Do Not Overtake stickers to indemnify us, if people overtake us when we are turning and cause an accident.

The Adventures of The CANZAUS Kids - Google Maps

Hey Folks, I have been playing around with Google Earth, so you can follow us on 'The Track'.

This is a test to see if all works out OK. I have mapped out the path of Our Morning Walk to the beach at Dee Why.
  • The link (included in the title of this post) will take you to a page in Google Maps named: The Adventures of the CANZAUS Kids
  • Select: Our Morning Walk to Dee Why Beach.
Feel free to move around the other links I have set up, including the one for where our van is stored. I will be using mini pics of our van to 'mark the spot' during our travel, so why not familirise yourselves with what to look for.

Please let me know if all looks OK. If you wish to provide any constructive feedback, please do so; after all, you will be the ones using our Blog, so why provide input.

Thanks heaps.

Google Earth

Yesterday I had a play around with Google Earth, it is magic. I wanted to send a link to a new friend in the UK, along with a voice recording. WOW! What fun. The plan is to use Google Earth to track our wanderings while on 'The Track'. I know it can be done, I only need to figure it out.
