After we left Kaniva we headed for the Little Desert to discover with the recent rain all of the tracks were closed. We drove through the centre on the only bitumen road suprised to rediscover the sandiness of the area.
We drove down through Horsham and on to Marong just outside Bendigo for the night with the intention of visiting the Jayco dealer to look at a possible replacement for the Snailhouse.
Well she did not take to that idea too kindly because as we left Bendigo via Rochester she decided to throw her right wheel off into a dairyfarmer's paddock as we were doing 90kms per hour.
We had just passed the deserted church so my friend did a u turn on one wheel and a hub and waddled the old girl back to the church pull off. The gate was locked so himself took the gate off its hinges and in we went.
By now it is raining. A walk along the road did not produce the absentee wheel and no obvious dead cows so the decision was made to put the old girl up on blocks and have lunch!!
John phoned Doug the gentleman who had been so helpful at the Jayco Dealers. Up shot - we drove back into Bendigo with the hub and the guys in the Jayco workshop kindly produced another for us, put the spare bearings John just happened to be carrying in liberally greased.
While that was happening I bought a Birdhouse.
