Day 4: Longreach

No travel today – day of rest.

We decided today to have a rest day, time for the boys to catch up with their travel diaries.

Ok so to make my kids happy tell them they can get up a 630 and jump straight into the pool, sorry everyone else in the caravan park. Then make the day even better, make them croissants.. onto travel diaries and this blog. We took the time for a maintenance check on the van and car. The Waeco in the car is running like a gem, unfortunately we cant say the same with the Fridge. We bought this van 2^nd hand to do this trip and then sell in the yard and we probably didn’t do enough testing before taking off.. (I blame an extremely busy run to Christmas).. We turned the fridge on and it started on 240v, gas and 12v. The lesson here is to run for a day to ensure it cools, no use if it starts and doesn’t cool.

Discussions are centred around do we run to Mt Isa or back track to Emerald to hopefully fix the fridge… Much debate on which way is better, then we found a repairer in Longreach, TRACCS Mobile repairs and parts. Joseph took my call on New Years Day, what a legend, he is coming out tomorrow hopefully he can sort us out.

What
Our Customers Say

We have dealt with Cruise Oz over many years and have found them very approachable, very happy to listen to your needs and carry out any request you may have while providing excellent service.

Heather'S - Sunshine Coast

Barbara and I viewed the Avan Ovation Motorhome fleet at a number of Avan outlets, but it was not until we visited Cruise Oz and spoke to Roslyn and her staff that we received an interested and helpful hearing and inspection of the available vehicles. Their product knowledge and interest in just what we wanted and expected from a motorhome was superb and the subsequent follow up prior to signing a contract was first class. We were very happy and impressed, and still are.

Roslyn kept us updated regularly on a delivery date and maintained our enthusiasm and interest. On delivery, the overview and introduction training was great and the subsequent follow up service and advice from him has been of the highest quality.

We are happy to recommend Cruise Oz and Roslyn and her team to any prospective purchaser.
