Wentworth N.S.W.
























































Having travelled from Victoria to South Australia then back to Victoria, we just had to squeeze in one more State. So we free camped in the bush near Wentworth and had a look at the sights including the famous Perri Sandhills out of Wentworth New South Wales. Tyson enjoyed his trip away in the Kombi and was very excited when he caught a good sized fish in the Murray River. Now it was time to head back and check out the Cammokombi after its 2500 kilometer first trip for 2007. I guess the ultimate compliment coming from 9 year old Tyson was what he asked me regarding the Kombi...
"Grandpa, when you die, can I have the Kombi?"
With that sobering thought I end this Blog.

The road back East





































We picked a different set of roads to get back as we headed for one of our favourite camping spots on the Murray River at Wentworth. A flat tyre was the only hic cup along the way. The RAA guy drives a 62 Kombi with a 1600 engine. I raved about the Kombi Club to him. Once we set up camp it was in the river for a cool off and a relaxing time. We enjoyed a visit from a local girl and her horse. As I type this I am sitting in the Wentworth Library with my laptop plugged in and recharging. I have just enjoyed a very large Chicken Schnitzel at the Sturt Hotel and it only cost $7.00. Tyson tucked into an eaqually large plate of Bangers and Eggs for only $6.00 for kids meals. Now its off to see the sights of Wentworth including the Junction of the Murray and Darling Rivers, Some Paddle steamers in the River Port, and then out bush to the famous Perri Sand Hills. So check back soon for more blog and pics. Its another hot day so Im hanging out for a dip in the river.








Lets go play on some dirt roads!!

























































































































After enjoying a night of laughs singalongs with guitar and drum music (and a few drinks) it was time to take the kombis and go have some fun on remote tracks. "Gee's I love camping!!!!!!" The
UHF radios proved themselves as we were all able to keep in constant contact and keep the laughs flowing as we drove. After a fun filled and adventurous day it was time to say farewell to our new found friends and be on our way on the return trip. What a fantastic time! It was well worth the drive from Victoria to South Australia to catch up with all those K.C.ers I have been talking to online. Now we all know each other. Its funny though how a K.C. username can change into a nickname. Everyone kept calling me Cammo. Now my Grandson thinks its cool to call me Cammo. Ha! He loved his time with all the other Kombi Kids. As we drive off into the setting sun.....ooops wrong way! Blame the navigator!
