Well, flexibility is the name of the game, and when a spanner gets thrown in the works, it is just go with the flow.

We got up this morning, packed up our little house at Balgal Beach Units and were on our way about 10am. Not quite sure of our destination, but all that was taken out of our hands when David tried to start the car. It started 2nd try, but unfortunately the battery levels were down and it looked like we may have alternator trouble. So we drove out to the Bruce highway, found somewhere to park in the shade and David did some investigation.

After a little while, he decided it was most likely the alternator. Internet and research was problematic, so we moved on to get a bit closer to Townsville, as this was the most likely to have more Auto Electricians available. So when we get closer to Townsville, we stop and David does some research, finds an Auto Electrician, chooses the highest google rated one and off we go again.

We arrive at Kenny’s Auto Electrical – this was a major workshop with many service vehicles, a huge workshop and about 15 employees. They did some checking for s straight away. We were given a quote within about 15mins and they were on the job 5 mins later. Within 2 hours, the job was done and we were on our way again at about 3pm. It was the most efficient operation and the most successful process I have seen. David was decisive and excellent throughout the whole issue.

Yay! We are on our way again. We headed to Townsville Eco Tourist Resort just south off Townsville for tonight.
