Over the last 12 months when we have gone to tilt the truck cab we have found it firmly stuck closed. We have put it down to heat fusing the rubber on the under side of the cab and possibly thought a trip to Mr Mitsubishi maybe required to fix it. Luckily for us,...
2 December 2014 Well today started off normally, breakfast, coffee and a walk amongst the woodland forest. A nest took our eye and appeared to be built entirely from mud. We could here squawking of babies inside. The walk up the hill took into some beautiful...
29 November - 1 December 2014 Day 10 As promised by the BOM the winds picked up and the ocean became angry - not a pleasant day. No Swim! Day 11 Well I decided not to let the winds stop my swim today. Felt good to be back in the surf once more. But must admit that...
28 November 2014 Day 9 This morning we woke up early - not planned - but this was an opportunity not to waste. The tide has been progressively getting lower around daybreak and this is perfect sunrise photos. Also the weather deteriorated giving some interesting...
27 November 2014 Day 8 Another beautiful day on the beach today. Have a feeling from reading the bom.gov.au site today that it will not last, with 15-20 knot winds predicted for the weekend. On our walks down the beach at different times we are finding more and more...
24 November - 26 November 2014 Day 5 Quiet day in camp today. If you walk anywhere but on the beach there is no wind or breeze, and it feels like the temperature is about 5 degrees hotter. Wind is still a little strong, but this did not deter our daily swim. Day 6...
21 November - 23 November 2014 Day 2 Was a great night’s sleep on the new mattress that we had made up a few weeks ago. Steve had spent considerable time agonising over the structure to be packaged in the mattress. Last night sleep was confirmation of a job well done....
Many times we are asked what solar system are we running and what are the technical details. Here is some information you may find interesting. When we purchased the Amesz we found our batteries were always close to fully discharged. At that point we had 130 watt...
20 November 2014 It has been a long time since we have been able to get out on the road again. The past 6 weeks have been spent in fixing, maintaining and customising the Amesz 4x4 Truck. The Amesz is still without official name, and we still can't decide on a title...
The original Amesz 4x4 Camper was fitted with an Ibis air conditioner. Whilst I am sure this airconditioner served the previous owners well, it was something we decided would be best upgraded. The new Ibis Mk3 was released in May 2014 and promised 20% better cooling...
Gostwyck Chapel a Photographers Dream Only a few kilometres from Uralla is the spectacular Gostwyck Chapel. The chapel was built in 1921 in memory of Clive Collingwood Dangar (1882-1918) by Mr Roberts. Today 200 mature elm trees line the approaches to the Chapel....
What a difference Tyres Make! One of the first issues we had with the Mitsubishi Canter Amesz 4x4 Truck was rocks getting stuck between the rear tyres which if not removed quickly, destroy both tyres. Up to this point we had been lucky and removed the rock before...
