Tuesday 18th January

Woke up  to a nice pleasant day, temp around 23 degrees...John decided to take all the wheels off the trailer and check each one, to make sure no more cracks etc and check the bearings...we are both paranoid about this trailer at the moment..so much as gone wrong with it since we got it..

But the good news is all the wheels were ok...so we will just wait till we get the other in and get them fitted back on again..

While he was doing that, I was working on the pc and it was so slow... and not getting any pages up so I rang Bigpond  to be informed that the modem was stuffed, so they have to send me a new one out, which could take 5 working days...in the mean time I have no internet so I went back to my pre paid one, when I went to use it it would not work grrrrrrrrrrrrrr so back onto Bigpond and they had deactivated it...hummm thanks Bigpond.. so now I have to find a Telstra shop to pay !!! to get it re activated again...

So we decided to go for a drive to Mirimbula which is 30 kl away...as they have a Telstra shop there.. It was a nice drive, and when we got to Mirimbula we was so surprised what a lovely place it was, we had a nice drive around and checked it all out and was sorry we didn’t make it to there instead of boring Bega...

Merimbula is the crowning gem of Australia's Sapphire Coast. Located at the halfway point between Melbourne and Sydney, this South Coast tourist town is the perfect place to enjoy the beautiful white sand beaches, rainforests, lagoons, and mountains of the South Coast NSW.

Merimbula is known worldwide for it's magnificent beaches. You don't need to go further than 5 minutes away from Market Street for your choice of beach, each with their own vistas and atmosphere!

For the best surf in Merimbula, head on over to the Shore Point Beach or The Bar. You're bound to find some great swells!

If you're just looking for a relaxing swim with the family, check out Mitchies Jetty or Spencer Park. Spencer Park has a great playground close by for the kids and a BBQ for a great beach cookout.

On a windy day, Main Beach (also known as Merimbula Beach) and Short Point are the go to beaches for windsurfers and kiteboarders alike.

Bar Beach is the best beach to check out Merimbula's sea life. Snorkel by the boat shed, you're likely to spot some octopus, whiting, dusky flathead, drummer and luderick. Come in late summer and the beginning of fall to see butterflyfish, tangs, and neon damsels.

so you can see why we wished we had moved on that little bit and stayed here...We will definately stay here on our way around again..

After getting the Telstra stick fixed up we headed back to Bega...

Now Omen or not...but over Christmas we was looking at changing the trailer ...selling what we have and buying a “Dolly Trailer” thats a trailer that you drive the front wheels of your car onto and tow it that way...but at the time it was not easy to find who makes them or where we could purchase one from..the closes place being BEGA !!  so on the way back from Mirimbula we decided to go and check out the place where the guy makes them to order, and lucky for us he had one there finished for us to look at... NOT CHEAP !!! but perfect for what we wanted...But of course we needed to sell ours first before we could think of buying another one..the RV can only pull one at a time...

So on the way back we discussed with each other if we should try and sell ours on Ebay while we are here for a couple more days..and said ok bugger it lets try !! see if we get any bites... I put it on Ebay for a “Buy it Now” price... and within 30 mins of putting it on we got 3 calls one after the other enquiring about it...and the first guy bought it there and then sight unseen, and hes driving up from Melbourne to pick it up...amazing we could not believe our luck and how popular they are...So our prayers have been answered we have finally got rid of our “lemon” its now someone elses problem...
