What an upheaval to get the ute to Melbourne. At one point we were told the ship was early and we had to have it in Melbourne 5 days earlier than expected, ie 28 Feb. Unfortunately in the interim, my brother had passed away and his funeral was scheduled for 27 Feb. No way were we missing the funeral of course and I was madly packing gear in anticipation of an early shipping from Yass without John going with the vehicle. We managed to see John's Dad (Charlie) before the vehicle left Yass.
Fortunately we were then informed that the ship was on it's original timetable for loading on 3 March for sailing on 7 March. Mission achieved with much work between John and Dave Mottram.
We know the vehicle is not on the ship going through Cyclone Hamish thank goodness. I have tried to resize photos but obviously that's not working.
Will keep on trying and by the time we leave Australia all will be well.
