St Ives

Its a cloudy Friday morning and yesterday I started dismantling the turbo from the motor but when I saw that the oil was coming from the manifold and not the turbo, it knocked the stuffing out of me as we had spent so much time and money fixing and examining the motor at LBJ tours. Looks like a broken ring on the left cylinder bank I guess it comes down to the old addage..."pay peanuts and you get monkeys"
We are at St Ives showground, just north of Sydney and I was surprised just how close to the city it is.
The showground is a huge complex with about 5 or 6 arenas  for all different activities . It is all tree covered and camping is very spread out. They have just finshed filming a segment of "Rescue Special Ops" here which will go to air in about 16 weeks. It has to do with a van park that has been hit a cyclone and birth of a baby by a woman trapped under an overturned caravan. ( And yes, they used a real baby)
Think we will stay until early next weekafter both Queen Elizabeth II and queen Mary II have been and gone... must have a look at them.
After that it's probably off to Richmond and then Bathurst
Both Maureen and I have recieved just about 100% clearance from our doctors, and have been declared fit.
