Hi All,
Well we left Hevey Bay this morning and are now in Mackay and YEP we spotted 2 more Bushtrackers on the road today...both heading South and both in between Miriam Vale and Gin Gin...one pulled by a 100 series and the other I think was and 80 series As we weren't towing anything and had the roof rack loaded to the sky, they probably wondered why the hell we were waving to them....
Oh well...good to see the Bushtrackers out and about.
Cheers all
Rick & Julie

It's exciting isn't it?
Your post recalls to us our pick up trip - 80 Series loaded to the max with gear for the two day sprint from Adelaide to the Gold coast AND all the gear to go in Mobi for the return three week trip home to Adelaide via the Pilliga - Dubbo region then ACT.
We even had Tojo dressed up with the Truck mirrors set up coz we had no room elsewhere for them!
A few truckies got their laughs by snide comments that some one had lost their van.
When we answered the joviality to let them know we had heard them - we got our fun!
Never mind you will always get a thrill from seeing another BT along the way.
Cheers - Ian & Sally

Hi Ian & Sally
Sounds like Chevy Chase of National Lampoons fame...lost the van..Oh yes, it's all good fun and we're counting down now. We Were working in Armidale for the last 2 months and we're now in Mackay, but before we left Armidale we took half the stuff out of the Kimberley Kamper and "Threw"it at the Landcruiser....you know the bare essentials for the trip back to Armidale....Oh well we had to pack it on and bring it to Mackay as when do this job here and then a fortnight in Rockhampton for another job there and then we head to Adelaide to pick up the BT. We'll head down the inland road so we don't have to go back through Armidale....consequently the Landcruiser is CHOKKERS.
Keep well and we'll see you on the road sometime.
Cheers
Rick & Julie

Rick & Julie,
The last time I checked the
Bushtracker factory was still in Kunda Park. What are the circumstances that you are picking it up in Adelaide.

Hi Brian,
Yes
Bushtracker is still domicle at Kunda Park, However Julie spotted an ad for a pre loved, like new, 18 footer on the
forum and we've gone that way...only thing is we have to go to Adelaide to pick it up.....It would have been nice if it was in the Kimberleys...but we needed and excuse to see the bottom end of S.A too.
Good thing is that we will have 2 weeks to get back to Armidale from Adelaide.....play time.
Then we have scheduled the month of September off too...so more play time the Bstracker way.....not sure where we're going to go in September though...still time to decide.
Cheers
Rick
