A mammoth effort,
The Cane Truck has been retrieved from the River.
3 heavy vehicle Tow Trucks and a dozer.
The main Ferry is operating again.
The smaller ferry, which the cane truck rolled off the back, is still non operational.
Investigations are still in operation to attain what took place.
Seriously, people commenting on social media that have no f#$%en idea what happened, only creates more comments and feeds the rumour Mill.

Anyway, a family, and his mates still have a great loss to deal with.
R.I.P

You don't use magic to disappear, ya use a 4x4 & Swag.

Ahaha.



Hmm.

Some do when we go fishing 

 

We went to the dark side, not because of wet canvas, (never had a wet packup , had a couple of very fast ones  ) just the muscles etc didn't like the camper, even though it was a brilliant design. So we started looking, length was a problem, very narrow street to reverse from, we wanted seperate shower/toilet.So the size made it a bit of fun, but we found a brand new 16 foot van that suited us. We did a 5 month trip and we are still married. Once you work out who and what goes where it's very doable in a small van.

I am assuming that the “who” did not include placing various different partners….

Talking of trends: I have noticed during a recent lap and talking to a few mates who have made the change, that some folks are moving to small motorhomes after spending years as caravanners. Their rigs are mostly Merc Sprinter or Fiat van based. Sometimes a little bigger. All say that they would never go back to a caravan.
Some tow a small car behind, which kinda defeats the purpose of getting away from towing. Go figure.
The downside is that they are mostly restricted to good formed roads as these things tend to self destruct after a few corrugations.
The next step I suppose is a compact off road motorhome if you have $250K-plus to spare - about the same cost as a 4WD plus a 20ft off road caravan.
Nothing you can't fix with money.
