Leaving GOR And Off To Mt Gambier

Sawpit freecamp, pretty cool place and some nice walks out to Whaler View Point.

Campfire cooking nothing beats it.

Ellen did have to have a chat to a coupla young punks about loud music again and they we good enough to turn it down ..however it was after 11.00.pm.

A wet start to pack up then Mt Gambier was on the hit list, getting to the caravan park near the centre of town we set up and dried out, Скиппи was running like bag of rusty spanners and wouldn’t idle and was backfiring like an old Ural…oh yeah she is that right.

We fitted new spark plugs, no difference, then proceeded to put in a Vodka mixture of injector clean and mentholated spirits, both would help in cleaning the injectors and mopping up any water.

Not sure which it was but we ran the tank from full until the bike stopped running, with a full gullet of 98 octane Vodka she was back running smoother and idling like an old Ural…oh yeah she is that’s right.

So it would seem we got a dud batch of 98 fuel and this gave her the guts ache.

With full HP being restored we were off like a robbers dog on three legs.

While in Mt Gambier we experienced the Centenary Tower and also the sinkholes, these were incredible with the way they were formed and how it was shown in the free movie in the info centre, very very worthwhile for geotechnical heads .

 As a treat we hadn’t been out to tea for a while so we took advantage of the offerings from Wild Ginger Thai, a great feast was had.

I like Ellens new phone camera make me look slimmer 😐
