We sold the caravan and agreed to tow it to the buyer’s property in Gidgegannup, another wonderful West Australian town name. We didn’t ask anything about the place. We just knew he had a few acres there.
When we arrived, we were appalled to find it was all bush with a roughly graded gravel track which led down quite a steep gradient to VERY rough patch of ground which didn’t have a level area at all. We were a bit stunned to think he expected us to be able to set it up under such conditions.
In the end, we backed it all the way down the track and onto a part that looked as level as anywhere else. Vince’s brother came with us and we were able to put the two nearside wheels up on blocks to get it somewhere near level side to side then lowered the towbar almost to the ground. Unless he has a very good vehicle, I don’t think he will ever be able to get it out of there but that probably doesn't matter. He is going to live in it while he develops his block.
He was a lovely Chinese man who overcame horrors during Mao’s regime. He has been out here 31 years but he doesn’t seem to have many practical skills. But we’ve delivered the caravan as promised and have set it up so we move on.
The top photo shows the track that Vince had to negotiate going backwards and the lower photo shows the caravan set up.

Hopefully it will provide him with shelter when he is working on his block.

I think you are right. With some, you'd think they were really using you but I think he just didn't appreciate how difficult it would be. We had a very nice 'thank you' letter from him today.

Glad you managed to get it there without too much trouble. It'll be a nice little home for him.

It was quite a bit of trouble really but we did get it there so it's all good.

It's nice to have it sold. The towing vehicle has been sold too so now we're looking for a motor-home.

Glad you could get it set up. I might have told him he needed to do it

He would never have managed. He had absolutely no idea. We got a nice thank-you message today.
