Day 246 / 2016 - The Black Art of Servicing the Car

I have been considering taking up the black art of servicing ones own car while on the road... well changing the oil and filters at least. At around $300.00 to $350.00 for just a basic service it is getting expensive and they don't even change the fuel filter for that price. Time to review the worth of doing our own servicing.

There is really not much to do in Karumba unless you are into fishing especially from a boat and if you talk to the people who come here year after year would say "and the problem is?". Still its not all bad for us non fisher folk, the temperature is between 20 to 30 Degrees, plenty of socialising with other people and a great bar at the end of the road where you can go and watch the setting sun.
