Crookwell

We left Pejar last Friday for Crookwell where I got a new tyre on the bus. 
On Saturday we towed the Leyland with the Denning and a short rigid bar between for about fifteen kilometres over dips, gullies and along bush tracks to where it will sit whilst it being repaired.
Towing that bus was an experience that I will never forget!!!!!  My thanks to Alan for steering the old bus.  At least I could see where I was going.
This was the first opportunity for us to test our new batteries and solar panels.  The whole thing works splendidly.
At this time we also bought a 3kva generator which has already proved its worth in that we don't have to turn everything else off to run the air conditioner.
I can't believe how much better the bus runs with the new turbo.  We are probably looking at a 50% increase in fuel economy, and about one and a half gears better in power.
Ordered a flat white at the Gunning Cafe where we were presented with 25% froth, whereupon, Maureen took them back, and when they were remade were exactly the same (don't some people get it!).  The coffee beans were burnt too.
We stayed at the truck stop at Gundagai, and when I went to the back of the car the next morning I found that the cylinder head from the Leyland was still.  So we had a quick trip back to Bannister to put it in the bus.  A round trip of 350 kilometers.
We stopped overnight at Narrandera and tried their bakery where a customer recommended the 'bee sting', they were filled with custard and apple which was sensational, but their choux pastry was stale.
Because of the flat countryside the trip to Silverton was a doddle and we arrived Wednesday lunchtime
