As we were approaching a small town called Urana Allan called on the UHF to say his spare wheel was flapping around in the breeze. The top bracket on the tyre holding swing arm had broken and temporary repairs were effected (probably last the whole trip)After all that hard work LOL we had a cuppa and went on to Corowa where we pulled into a park for lunch.
As soon as I stepped out of the bus I noticed water dripping from several place where my water tanks are fitted and I immediately thought the worst that I had split a tank. A quick dive into the boot soon found a leak where the water pipes entered the hot water system. Repairs were simple by tightening a couple of nuts and it was discovered that I had only lost about five litres which we soon replaced. It is amazing how much area five litres of water can cover on a bitumen car park. Just lucky we were parked on bitumen or we may not have noticed it and could have arrived at our next bush camp without water.
Tonight we are in camp at Police Paddocks about 10k outside Corowa. While there are no facilities the peace and serenity is amazing parked right on the Murray River with the bird life and the most amazing sun set. I have taken some photos to send to my Son in Law to make him jealous (he loves river fishing)
Tomorrow we will probably move on to yet another Murray River camp as there are many in the district and we have a few day to fill in before having to be in Melbourne.
