Day 72 Monday 3rd Sept Home Valley HV8


Jason left at 6am for Kununurra to get the air conditioning looked at in the car as we had noticed on Saturday it was not working. Leanne and the girls stayed at the campsite and got ready to pack up in case the air was fixed   reasonably quickly. After this they passed the time at the pool… Jason text during the day with updates re the car…..A pipe from the dryer in the air conditioning had snapped and the air conditioning technician was looking for a replacement part. When this was not available the broken pipe was taken to an engineering company to be repaired, unfortunately the company affiliated with the air conditioning techs could not fix it. This was not good news, so Jason began chasing up the part around a few places in Melbourne  as apparently this is where all their  parts come from. After no luck with this, in a last ditch effort he found another engineering company in Kununurra who fixed the pipe. Upon taking it back to air conditioning  techs, they discovered the pipe was not air tight, so back he went to the engineers for more repairs…. Once this was done it was back to the air conditioning techs who again found a leak!!! By this stage it was 5pm and everything had shut down, all this was done by Jason in 38 degree heat, some of it by foot as the car had to be left there….  After calling Leanne with an update he was persuaded to stay overnight in Kununurra and return to engineers in the morning instead of battling with the rough road back to HV8 again!!
