Sydney calls ...

Dear Reader,

Cobar? Tibooburra? How about Sydney for our first post on this adventure?  Yes indeed!  Yesterday while doing our checks we found a faulty part in Jabi. We'll have to wait for the part to be flown in from our Bundaberg friends and then be fitted over the next week. Which makes things a bit tight for our pending U.S. adventure.

So what to do? We know!  Tomorrow we'll take the Flying Kangaroo to Uluru for a few days, hire a car and drive to Kings Canyon and Alice Springs and then have the Flying Kangaroo bring us home on Friday 7 August.

We'll pick up the rest of our planned adventure when Jabi is feeling fit and healthy.That's how it goes on a Jabi adventure!

Thanks for the many good wishes we continue to receive. It's all about the journey.

The Flying Nabateans
