Car troubles

Sunday - The plan today was to set off to Julia Creek, that was until the Prado decided it didn't want to go anywhere. It started ok and I moved it a small distance so we had access to the back door, when I went to start it again no go. It appeared that the battery had gone flat but after trying to jump start it and using a number of different batteries it appears it may be the starter motor. A call to the RACQ who transferred me to the NRMA and it is tow job to Mt Isa, 400km away. This will not happen until tomorrow so we are not sure how long we will be there, luckily before we left I upgraded my NRMA to Premium Care so the cost of towing and accommodation is covered. It's going to be great sitting in a truck for 4-5 hours.

Afternoon update, we where having drinks with some other campers who where cow cockies from the Moree area and we decided to look at the car again, we checked the starter solenoid and everything appeared ok, Mick said he had some really heavy duty jumper leads he uses on his Header on his property and did we want to give it another go using his 4wd, guess what, it started so we put it on charge using the genny and I went and cancelled the tow. Hopefully it will start tomorrow and we will set off again and get a new battery along the way.
