Up around 6am, caught our thoughtful smiling hosts (Dorothy & Richard, & little Jessie) before work.
They offered us breaky, then we pack the car & trailer, & off we try to go… on the way back to Lakeland, Northward. But after plugging the trailer in the car won't move out of Park… and the electrics window won’t go back up after putting it down to back the trailer last night… What to do?
A local mechanic (Dave Garton) came to our aid on the phone, at Dorothy’s request. After a couple of hours parked at the front of Rocky’s Repco we hot-wire the window & get the window up, and find two fuses blown, which on replacing fixes the gear box problem and we can get the car out of Park, just by changing the lever’s position…
We drive on to Bowen, talking, listening to an audio book, a podcast, & reading and trying to memorize in order to recall to be able to meditate on a small letter from one of Yeshua’s Ambassadors in the first century (CE) translated from the common Greek of that time… At Bowen we try a few caravan parks etc. & finally find a lovely unpowered site, heat & eat our pizza
before hitting the sack around 9:30pm.. Another similar distance to Cairns tomorrow… a lot of food for thought and reflection…
