A New Beginning

 A lot has happened since the last post.

The Landcruiser has gone to a new home, pulling a caravan around Australia, The Desert Sky has also gone to a new home in Western Australia.

The Landcruiser has been replaced with a Suzuki Jimny.

We are buying a Motorhome, a Jayco RM 20.5, it should be ready for delivery by mid to late November. The purpose of the Jimny is to flat-tow it behind the motorhome so that we can have the versatility of a small off-road vehicle and the comfort of a fully equipped motorhome.

The Jimny will be my daily drive when we are not travelling, so the small engine with low fuel consumption will be useful. However, its off-road capability will be welcomed when touring so we can still see those off-the-beaten-track destinations and not have to take the RM20.5 down those narrow and twisty tracks. The RM20.5 is not good on dirt roads, in fact, many say don't go off the bitumen with it. Time will tell.
