Yesterday was a great day, rolling like a champion. Today within 20 klicks There came can awful noise, something is brokey for sure. Could be a piston skirt, small end, or something else. Sigh! The tow to Perth, special rate is 6k. We are 100 klicks east of Belladonia. Then into a workshop. I have been told TW Mechanical at Naval Base near Rockingham is fair. Anyone else have any recommendations please."
6 THOUSAND dollars? and one the commenters is talking about a $12,000 tow bill. I did the exchange rate and the Aussie dollar is only one cent under a CDN buck. Who has that kind of money?

I am going to tour some of Western Australia on a Coach, the whole thing will cost $7,000. It is cheaper to fly to the US, we had a comprehensive trip in Europe, with my late wife and Sister. All up $10,000
