Campervan

We noticed this camper van outside of our hostel one day in Sydney, it had a for sale sign so we rang the number to find out its price.

The van was owned by a group of lads from England and were flying out the next day so needed a quick sale.

We took the van for a test drive and made sure the right documents were with it. Neither of us were mechanically minded, so we just hoped that it would be ok. The lads wanted quite a lot for it, but we didn't want to pay that much, we gave them our price and they eventually sold the van to us, we had a good bargain. As we had ourselves a very good deal, we thought that if anything does go wrong at least we hadn't spent a fortune on it.

The van was basic but great and we couldn't have asked for anything better!

As it turns out we didn't have any major problems with it, we had to buy one new tyre and it over heated once, but a kind American family stopped and got it going for us again. When we eventually sold the van at the end of our trip, we made a profit!

The van got us all the way from Sydney to Cairns.
