Last Camp!

---

We have survived the last camp, which we have done just north of Coffs Harbour. A beautiful site right beside the Pacific Ocean so we were able to listen all night to the surf rolling in! A very cold night too. But today the sun is shining and we are just getting ready for the final push to Singleton and Sydney. I survived my shark experience - wow, what an experience! Even got the sharks' teeth to tell the tale.

I hope to finalise this blog on Sunday when we finish at Sydney, and I will also add some photographs of our last few days since leaving Maroochydore (as well as a shark or two). The Hillman is going really well at the moment, and so we expect her to get us to our final destination.

More soon.

Our camp site north of Coffs Harbour.
Coffs Harbour is a favourite holiday resort for many - visiting during the winter meant that we had a relatively quiet time at the camp site which was beautifully situated beside the sea.

Sharks
Well I said I had survived and here is one plus several others to show that I really was mixing it with sharks.

Definitely a tiger shark!
He was very big!

You probably don't think I knew about this one behind me!

Hi
This is Roger, friend of Dianne and Bryan. I hear you are arriving at Hornsby on sunday the 18th. I would like to be there but cannot make it. I wondered if we could meet you while you were in Sydney before you go back. Best regards, Roger

Congratulations!
How fantastic! You made it but then we never doubted that you would. What an incredible experience and memories both good and bad to last you a lifetime! However saying that John we understand that you are already thinking of returning to Australia next year to drive back to the UK!! We all found that very amusing but knowing you, that could very well happen! Congratulate yourselves, it has been a briiliant adventure for all of us to follow. We simply cannot wait now to have you back home so roll on the 10th August! With much love from all the Lewis-Ososki -Morgan tribe xxxxxxx

Fuel pumps
Hi Simon, read my final blog - it says a lot for the work you put into the car, thank you, but we really still have an issue with the fuel pumps. We are carrying two spare back with us and the two fitted are sourced from India and working well! I still cannot understand why we should have to turn one tap off if using the other tank when we our two switches inside the car were supposed to allow us to just switch tanks when one had run out of fuel. John thinks one pump sucks it back into the other tank. I don't but we gotta sort it out when we return to the UK. Otherwise, a great feeling of achievement to have reached here. Barry

Finishing Line
Hi Linda and all the family members, Yes, we did make it. No comment on the drive back to the UK though, except that there was a very enthusiastic person in the Hillman Club who wanted us to turn around and drive back to the UK from here. That, he said, really would be a first. Final blog now in print. See you when I get back. xx
