My optimism was slightly dented but we set off and had almost 100kms of worry free travel.
Then BANG.
A different radiator hose this time. Once again, Steve patched it with duct tape, filled up the radiator and we wandered slowly into Narrandera. Here he was able to buy the correct hose. This one wasn't easy to fit because the thermostat housing had to come off first and the thermostat broke. Ditch that bit ---- I was sick of watching that dial go higher anyway!

Old bit with duct tape, beside new hose.
We had just got through the town when the truck boiled again and Steve found that there was a leak in the housing gasket. I think that it was at this point that he decided that returning home was a good option!! Instead, we returned to my least favourite caravan park for the night.
During the evening, he made a new gasket (on my lovely laminated bench!).
