Bill's New Van

 Bill's blue Hilux was nearly 20 years old, we had it for 16 years and it had done 440,000 kilometres, so we figured it was probably not going to be repaired and the insurance company would write it off and that is what happened. Bill had been thinking about getting another Hilux but in the end went for a brand new 2024 Hyundai Staria Van. He will look like a tradie! We went and picked it up a month ago and Bill is very happy with it. He is still going to try and work out how lots of things everything works. He went for the van option as it would be great for transporting his telescopes and has been doing exactly that with all his astronomy outreach work he has been doing. Ultimately his plan is to go out camping with his telescopes out to some dark sky areas. There is talk of taking the birds camping with him as well- will see how that pans out!
