Didn't get to 'do' Dunedoo. 8-) We will be staying 3 or 4 nights here at Gulgong as there is quite a bit to see in the area. Nice little town. Showgrounds $15 pn power and water and a dump point. Have to head back to Tamworth on Thursday morning to get the new awning fitted. :shock:

The fabric/stitching where it attaches to the van has ripped. Can't be repaired so a new one on order. $850 incl delivery from Brisbane (Aussie Traveller) to Moonbi and fitting. Not bad, we thought. We could see daylight through the stitching for a while and the wind at Stanthorpe and Dumaresq Dam finally finished it off. :(

Lesley I find it beneficial to look at surrounding houses or caravans to see which direction they are pointing to & then select tuning specifying ALL types including radio. Sometimes I've had to move the direction 15 degrees & then tune again.
It's a totally different way than how the old analogue TV's had the channels programmed into them at the factory.
I've also heard that you can 'over boost' the signal.
My TV arial looks like a broomstick but it works!!
If you're near Bob give him a yell........ he needs a decent headache!!! :) :lol:
Sorry Bob!!!

Not sure which way to go south from Tamworth to Whitfield but if it is in your direction Bob, we will give you a shout. Kay (aka Macca) and Bruce should be coming down from Bellata so keep an eye out for them too.
