@winnie sounds good mate never be jealous id ask you along
on trips any time
now the good news is ive been given a repreave from the consulting
surgeon might be another 6months before they operate ,yay
the aorta didnt grow much this time
Old andando is great Roofy. If you have time mate you can head out towards Camp 1 of the Madigan line and there is a stand of trees that are some of the oldest in the country. The only place they grow is there and the other end of the simmo I think. Only 30 minutes from Old Andando to from memory. Worth the drive to have a look. Likely marked on the map as a place of interest.
thanks mate yes was planning on seeing them somuch to see in thisQuote:

In short don’t leave anything out!
Safe travels

Stay safe, really cant beat any place Oz has to offer, with luck you might be able

Man, I remember that used to have huge numbers and amused me how far out you guys had set the goal. Nearly happening now!
Enjoy the trip guys and remember to put all the pics and info up. I'm sure there will be others that couldn't make but will enjoy watching and maybe plan some stuff off the info for future trips (hopefully me one day).
No I have not...Quote:

Last time I ever leave it till the day before departure to do maintenance I can tell ya.
Still on track to leave tormorrow but will probably have a teensie sleep in instead of leaving at 5 AM.
If i was leaving tomorrow I would be awake at 3am and broken sleep until 4:30am and just give up, get up and jump in the car...lolQuote:
