Disasters!

 Just go have holidays without a few disasters and they come in threes, hopefully we have had all three.

Coming back from the Daintree we noticed the fan was off, Warren was convinced he had left it going to keep the camper cold. Then we saw the light was off on the fridge, disaster number one. Checked all the stuff, yes no power. I checked the power lead and it appeared that it was out just a little. Next door had their bikes leaning against the pole and I think it was moved just enough to lose connection. No great drama as the fridge hadn't been opened and max it was off was six hours.

We went for a swim in the pool, very nice.

About to pack up the next morni g and Warren saw the power supply to the fridge wasn't working. There had been water on our toolbox which we didnt know why. Buggar I had hung my swim top in the window and when drying had dripped onto the power pack. We paid for another night and took a trip to Cairns to buy another one.

Disaster three we had a nice drive to Cooktown and pulled in for coffee at a lookout (yes, there was a cache there).


Nice spot but again no picnic tables but there was toilets.
We drove on and 40ks down the road Warren said the trailer is swaying a bit, he pulled up and discovered a tyre had a big chuck out of it. Fifty kms to go but needed to change the wheel. Midday and 32 degrees but it didnt seem that hot really. Warren got the wheel off while I undid the spare and wheeled it around. A lady going south pulled up to see if we needed anything, water in particular which was nice. Twenty mimutes and we were on our way again. Three tyres places in town and finally bought one which is not quite the same but will do. We will replace the set on the camper when we get home as they are probably as old as camper without  much use.
