Coming down Bulli Pass was a bit hairy, 1st gear was too slow and second was a bit too quick, it's only a small van so it doesn't have any brakes. Anyway I was leaning on the brakes a fair bit, we finally got to the bottom in one piece and headed towards Coledale, came to a red light....no brakes they had suffered major fade, just managed to pull up
Thanks for visiting and putting up the pics Hewart, the wife and I had a great weekend, well I convinced her she did anyway!
It was a little crowded in the van come bedtime,
so we decided to sleep at opposite ends to balance things up. I drew the short straw & took the bunk, about 4.30 am CRACKKK I fell through the bloody thing
luckily it was the bottom bunk so I didn't have far to fall, shored it up at daybreak with a few timbers & it was right as rain that night.
That was the only time I went in there, oh and to get beer out of the icebox.
The Camping site is right on Coledale beach, free electric BBQ'S, big campfire at night (courtesy of John & Lynelle, pictured), a few Fords and other breeds but mostly Holdens, 15 caravans in all.
There are only 4 powered sites at Coledale, & they went early, we had a torch & a fellow adventurer loaned us a kero lamp.
It was great fun and a great bunch of people, this was the inaugural run for the east coast members (the club is based in WA) it was called the "East coast get together." Some members of this site are also members of the Vintage Caravans site
We will definatley be going again next year, oh & going back up Bulli Pass ? 1st gear most of the way up.
Hope to have the bigger van ready by then, vintage caravans are bit like old Holdens, once you are bitten by the bug, you are hooked, or is that hitched.
