We had quite a busy time yesterday morning, hence driving only about 80kms from Norseman. We did the usual things of dumping and filling up with water. We didn’t need all of the water from our two tokens, so the next person in line got an extra 30 litres. Then off to the supermarket where […]

This is the road closure sign when we finished the Hyden Norsman Road. When we were planning to take this route we always said we would take advice about the conditions and not travel this way if there was heavy rain. We rang the Visitor Centre before we left and there was no warning about […]

Two trucks shared our parking bay with us on Thursday night, one of them running the engine all night. It wasn’t as bad as you’d think. The constant noise wasn’t disturbing and we slept well. We woke up to a bright, sunny morning and felt good about heading off towards our next destination. The gravel […]

So we didn’t spend the night there. We drove a little way along the Hyden Norseman Road to the first parking area. It wasn’t anything special, but we didn’t arrive until about 4:00 pm and were quite tired. In the morning in Brookton we went to Stumpys to check the tyres and fuel up. During […]

On Thursday we went to His Majesty’s for a performance of ‘Into the Woods’, a musical not to my taste, but it was well done and it was great to have such good singers, for a change. We went to Grilled on the way and had hamburgers and wine beforehand. The theatre is lit up […]

Oops! Someone got badly bogged, but it wasn’t us. We were quite stressed about doing this course worrying that we, as drivers, might not be up to it, and the fact that we have a motorhome on the back of our Hilux. Just getting there for 7.00 a.m. was stressful too as the meeting place […]

This is our first service since we bought the Sherwood and the good news is that not only is the Hilux in excellent condition it still has warranty for major items due to Australian consumer protection laws. It was suggested that we not upgrade the head unit to one with Apple CarPlay as it could […]

On the 15th February we dropped off the Sherwood with Ken Peachey for a long list of tasks. Repair the step, which kept sticking. New touch lights for dinette. Installation of Sirocco fan. Reconnect second battery and inverter. Check water leak in cabinet. It took a few days, but they managed to cover it all. […]
