"Lucky Pigs" is the name given to our Winnebago motor-home by the previous owners who had friends from New Zealand who used to call them "Lucky Pegs" because they were living and traveling in the Winnebago around Australia as we are now doing. "Lucky Pigs" in New Zealand are equivalent to "Lucky Buggers" here in Australia. We decided to keep the existing name after purchasing it in February 2010.

REID RIVER
Leaving our camp at Rollingstone around 9.30am we travelled the 50 odd kms into Townsville in order to refuel (Diesel $1.439) and do some shopping. A lot of bushfires are burning around the area and even near our stop for tonight at Reid River, which is between Townsville and Charters Towers. With all the smoke about the sunset was pretty good too. Digital TV, Telstra and Vodafone Mobile\Internet coverage is good here.
