Well been home about 20 minutes. Another big day in the car.

kris and Fiona thank you for your hospitality and generosity, we had an amazing weekend. Was fantastic that there was a great group of kids the right age for both my kids to want to spend time out of camp playing like we once did as kids. No thought to where they might be and confident that they were having a great time in a safe environment in the Dirt and the Rain. Loved it.

Oh how I wish your property was closer mate, I'd be all over that!!! What an amazing spot you have. Congratulations and well done bud. Simply paradise. Damn you for living in Canberra though! Broadford would have been awesome.

I have been having all sorts of trouble with Motorculture on the iPhone but will see about getting some pics up but here is the iPad Hema Plot for each way trip.

Trip up

And here is today's trip but I did not start plotting until we aired up at the Captains Flat Pub so missed a bit.

Clutch is fixed, thanks everyone. Split hose, George the legend brought up a new one but failed (bummer). Anyway in Batemans bay ATM got a new hose made up and all good. Thanks to everyone, great weekend, will chuck up some photos soon, still cruising down the coast for a few days back on the weekend some time.

On the move. . .

Yes being only 13 weeks old I thought it would be a bit of a pain... He really has been the perfect companion.
I had to check cars as they left the camp sites... A few members wanted to kidnap him haha.
He made a good friend in Jack the Kelpie.

Only just got home a couple of hours ago.

Stayed at gundagai last night and now had to drive to st kilda to pick up a projector screen for work. That's enough driving for me, stuck in crazy punt rd traffic :(

May as well pick up johnos bins whilst I'm here!

I must say thank you Chris for the Lamingtons on Australia Day was a nice touch.. I actually enjoyed working on my car with everyone pulling up a spot and relaxing while having a quiet drink and a lamington was a nice touch.

Left this morning unfortunately. A massive big thank you to Fiona and her husband for allowing us to stay for the week. Staying in a cabin in Bombala tonight after a messy drive. Then on to the horrid unpacking and cleaning tomorrow. I cannot thank you guys enough. Great to catch up with others as always and have new people turning up. We all enjoyed ourselves immensely and had trouble leaving ( literally ). Will try to post pics maybe next week.

Thanks Kris and Fiona.... What a lovely few days!! To those I'd met before, it was great catching up, and to the new faces, was great to meet you! Couldn't get a better bunch!
Just home and had dinner after a lovely stop-over in Wee Jasper last night with the Family4x4 crew... Unpacking the essentials and then time to flake out.

Thanks to everyone for making it an awesome trip!
