Kevin & Vicki Bailey travelling in their restored 1935 Stinson Reliant SR-8C VH-UXL around Australia. It commenced March 25th with the crossing of the Nullabor, thru SA & in Victoria - attending the RAAF 90th Anniversary Pilgrimage, AAAA Annual fly-in at Echuca. Our plans are to see as much of Qld before turning left into Northern Territory and finally down the west coast of WA to home.

DAY 20 – 4th APRIL WEDNESDAY MAINTENANCE – TYABB
Parked at Bernardi's - Tyabb
Lady Bird was overdue for her 25 hourly so Kev spent the day dropping oil, refilling, checking filters and attempting to reduce oil leaks. He also found a broken baffle which needed repair. He attempted to sort out the intermittent fault in the brand new pre-oil pump solenoid – frustrating. Seems it is faulty.
Sarah and I took Mia and Tibby for a very long walk that morning to enjoy the sunshine and to hopefully move some of the fruit and nut mix that they had helped themselves to out of our bags. (Oops my fault – I left our room door open). Those two dogs are a great pair – Mia is the investigator – even gets into sealed plastic containers then when things are dug out Tibby comes in and helps clean up the findings. They were great companions for Sarah who was missing our pets terribly.
We settled into a day of school work and washing etc blended with time out in the sun.
Another crayfish feast ended the day!
