Our First Trip in the New Expanda

[mfexpanda]

We went to Adelaide Shores [big4]for 2 nights then to Flinders rangers [Rawnsley Park Station]for 4 nights then to Ardrossan then Beachport and slowly home

The Colorado towed and performed magic with the only problems being me I think :smow: I managed to smash the rear window on the canopy, after reaching and driving on the made road, :wacko: There is a chip in the bedend of the expanda so I gather a stone hit it then bounced back onto the rear window. Thats being fixed , Thanks Christian,
And I got a chip,now fixed, in the windscreen .

And the expanda preformed just as we thought it would, better than our older one.

So all'n'all very happy.

There are a few pics coming.
But before that I'd like to thank those that helped sort the rear window drama. Thanks ARB East Keilor who we rang as we didn't know where and how to get it fixed,
They organised the ARB Elizabeth Store to contact us and within an hour we were booked to have the window replaced later that afternoon.

And of course Christian of Stone Stomper who emailed back and forward and personly measured our rig/tug , nice to meet you Christian, and now there is a stonestomper on it way so it never happens again

The Flinders Rangers is a beautiful place, we ran out of time so its "Unfinished Business" . We'll be back !

Enjoying the pics so far the Flinders sure is a place that has plenty to offer. We have been there twice once to do the southern Wilpena/Blinman end and the northern Arkaroola end the second time. The second trip also included the southern end again it was good to see how much it had greened up after previous rain.

Some of your pics I reckon are even taken in the same spots :happy:

One of my best mates use to work with Brad (if he is still there?) from ARB Elizabeth when he had a work shop here in Vic. Its makes a trip easier when something that has gone wrong can be fixed without any fuss.

Look forward to seeing some more pics too opcorn: I enjoy a good trip report

I remember going to Rawnsley Park Station for two weeks with my family in 1977 (I think it was '77 - I was 12!)

Stayed in these big tents the Station had errected - great time. Trying to get back there next year; hopefully May!

The Flinders is a wonderful place - a month wouldn't be long enough!

Yes you are right it may have been . No head winds we were very lucky as the winds started after we were settled at rawnsley station a light show came through Tuesday night plenty of lightning and within 10 minutes passed . But the next afternoon all hell broke loose winds , rain etc etc . We ran out to wind in our awning just as the van next to us lost theirs , it ripped and flapped everywhere . By the time we got around to help them they had theirs in and were back in their van.
The next morning everyone went around and found what ever go blown away ,shoes thongs ,towels,mats etc and went back to exploring one of the most beautiful places in aust
