GONE BUSH in a BUSHTRACKER: Retrospective: Our 4 Years in Papua New Guinea: Part Two: Madang.

http://farcanal.blogspot.com/2014/12/retrospective-our-4-years-in-papua-new_29.html

GONE BUSH in a BUSHTRACKER. Monday, December 29, 2014. Retrospective: Our 4 Years in Papua New Guinea: Part Two: Madang. We transferred from Goroka down to Madang sometime in 1976. Madang is on the north coast of PNG and is (was) a beautiful town. We had a new Control Tower with all the modern features. I must have been on one of my regular diets, probably beer-based. Here's my little helper preparing the Flight Data strips for me. Our house in Madang was typical of most DCA houses. It was a CR1 (Com...

http://farcanal.blogspot.com/p/our-tow-vehicle.html

GONE BUSH in a BUSHTRACKER. We tow with a 2007 Landcruiser 200 Series TTDV8. I've put the usual accessories on:. OME coils and shocks. Tarted up the dash with fake wood trim, Kenwood head unit with Ipod control and Garmin street nav, scangauge, UHF CB, Prodigy brake controller. It's an excellent tow vehicle. Nice and powerful and very smooth and comfortable. I recently installed a pair of Clearview Mirrors. Http:/ www.clearviewmirrors.com.au/. In the normal position they stick out 40cms from the glass.

GONE BUSH in a BUSHTRACKER: Storage for Long Items

http://farcanal.blogspot.com/p/caravan-mods-ideas.html

GONE BUSH in a BUSHTRACKER. Storage for Long Items. The Bushtracker has a front boot the full width of the van and allows quite a lot of storage. Long items can get untidy bouncing around inside the boot so I had an aluminium box made and screwed it to the floor. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Lennard River Crossing: Gibb River Road.

GONE BUSH in a BUSHTRACKER: September 2013

http://farcanal.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html

GONE BUSH in a BUSHTRACKER. Sunday, September 01, 2013. After we left Clairview we drove up towards Mackay but skirted out to the west and along Pioneer Valley through the small towns of Marian and Mirani to Finch Hatton. We spent a couple of very pleasant days at the Showgrounds in Finch Hatton (QLD 66 in Camps 7). There is a very good guide and map on this brochure:. Http:/ www.mackayregion.com/images/Documents/PioneerValleyBrochure.pdf. The view from the top of the valley at Eungella is striking.

GONE BUSH in a BUSHTRACKER: Our Bushtracker Caravan

http://farcanal.blogspot.com/p/our-bushtracker-caravan.html

GONE BUSH in a BUSHTRACKER. Our van is a 20 footer. Total length, towbar to tail lights is 8.3 metres. There's nothing like mixing Imperial and Metric is there? Delivery Day: 14th October 2009. All the electrickery including Foxtel. It is invaluable to see what is under the skin before purchasing a caravan. Bushtrackers are very well made. Look at the way the wiring is run; no spaghetti junctions here. The insulation is cut to fit perfectly. I bought a set of those plastic rod storage mounts from. The Ba...

GONE BUSH in a BUSHTRACKER: Warning Tags

http://farcanal.blogspot.com/p/warning-tags.html

GONE BUSH in a BUSHTRACKER. We all like to tinker with our toys and put some of our own ideas into them. One thing I would really hate is to drive off with an antenna left sticking up on the van. A walk around visual check is vital but let's face it, we are all gettting forgetful and need plenty of reminders. So I made up some tags to put in various places. If I use the device a tag goes on it and comes off when I return the device to it's "put away" position. The Wynguard TV antenna. The DiploMad 2.0.

GONE BUSH in a BUSHTRACKER: Access to Items on the Roof

http://farcanal.blogspot.com/p/access-to-items-on-roof.html

GONE BUSH in a BUSHTRACKER. Access to Items on the Roof. The van is just over 3 metres high and getting access to the antennas, hatches and solar panels for repairs and maintenance can be hazardous. At my age I don't want to risk any accidents so I searched the net high and low for a platform ladder and found this one from a Victorian company. It is the only one I found that folds like a real ladder for storage. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Lennard River Crossing: Gibb River Road. Caravan Mods and Ideas.

GONE BUSH in a BUSHTRACKER: Improving the Door Seal

http://farcanal.blogspot.com/p/improving-door-seal.html

GONE BUSH in a BUSHTRACKER. Improving the Door Seal. When travelling on unsealed, dusty roads it's easy to worry about dust entering through the van's door. Some BT owners carry a large piece of foam that they put between the waterproof door and the van door. That's fine but where do you carry the foam when it's not being used? Especially if it's wet. I wanted something a little more refined. Something that is ready to use all the time and is not a problem to carry. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). The Battle...
