Kombi surprisingly on ferry at Myall Lakes National Park and unsealed road (01.06.06) – followed by the first repair of light machine in Taree (02.06.

On our way up north we decided to go beside the highway for seeing nicer landscapes of Australia that you will miss by only using highways. We didn’t know that the smaller road next to the ocean will get us on: a ferry, and finally on an unsealed road for at least 20 kilometres ;-(
Too much for our “old lady”, near the end of the road the light broke down and we couldn’t drive anymore! Silke had to hold the “Blinkerstock” for full-beam until we found a spot to stay overnight! We stayed in a little village with a handful population, it was hard to find something to eat at six o’clock at night. Lucky that we always get up early, so we decided to go asleep at around nine after a pizza for dinner!
The next morning we started going further up north, during the daylight we didn’t need the driving lights and we decided to get it fixed in a slightly bigger city then we stuck in for the last night! In Taree we found a electrician for fixing the kombi, it takes some time until the found out what happened and it cost us 72 $ for a small spare-part ;-( - but compared to Germany it was still cheap!
