This morning was a little different in that there was no packing up and moving. It was an exercise morning for us both. Prue went off for a good walk around part of the town. I went off for a ride, on a very dusty bike, around a small portion of the Ord River Irrigation area.
The morning was warming up quite quickly, as it seems to do in this area. I retraced where we had travelled last week. It was rewarding as I saw things at a much slower pace. My ride was a little over 40kms. On my return, I did clean my bike of the dust that had accumulated from the Bungle Bungle road.
After the ride, we were picked up by a member of the Hertz Rental company and taken back to their office. Once there, I signed the papers for the rental on a Toyota Aurion which we are lucky to have. It seems rental vehicles of any description are quite limited. At this time we have it until at least Wednesday next week.
We left Hertz and went and did a little shopping and returned to the Karavan. On return, an email had arrived from the Repair Shop. The quote is for the removal of various parts of the Bravo to enable it to be straightened and then after the second part is added, a metal arch to match the chassis and welded to the chassis. Finally, a paint job to cover the repairs and then reassemble all in readiness for us to take it on.
Apparently, this type of problem can and has occured on all makes of 4 wd. None are exempt. 
At this time there is no completion date but we hope to have one tomorrow. Once we have that we can then rearrange our trip arrangements. At this moment, we are not out of our arrangements except we are back in Kununurra many days early.
