3–4 November 2010 Lawnton Showgrounds

Back to the city yet again!  While we were staying at Maleny Showgrounds (during the first big wet) the 240v power decided to give up the ghost.  We managed to find a local electrician who could actually come out and look at the system that day (how extra-ordinary!) who told us that we had one “dud” internal circuit which kept blowing the safety switch.  Because we were looking after the property at Booroobin for two weeks that was not really a problem, but it’s now time to get it fixed.

Took the van into Kedron so that Tom’s contract electrician could check it out and fix it.  Surprise, surprise, he could find nothing wrong with it at all.  The whole system worked fine!!!

After a lot of fiddling and farting around, they discovered that there was loose wire at the bottom end of the transformer which was causing all the drama.  We were not charged for the time taken for trouble-shooting nor for fixing the errant wire properly.  Our thanks go once again to David and Tom at Kedron for looking after us so well.

Wheee!  Tomorrow we can head north to Standown Park.
