This is my first post for the blog, sorry about my recalcitrance. I purchased a Telstra mobile broadband dongle in Longreach and have had some success with it, but I am still learning.
My Picasa site is here. I have uploaded the latest pics, but they are in low quality to conserve bandwidth.
As Bob has already reported, his Disco "threw a shoe" (chucked a universal joint) about 40 kms from here. The parts are ordered and will be here on Monday (I have confidence). He is replacing the whole prop shaft flange to flange. We have today removed the old one. Here are some pics of the failed uni coupling. It's very fortunate that it did not cause more damage when it flailed about, but all it did was ding the chassis rail abit. All of the auto trans plumbing and other "soft" stuff under there escaped unscathed. (phew!!).

I will also included some pics of our caravan site at Barkley Homestead when the system allows me to upload them.Bye for now.
