Hey Mike, I knew you'd reply tonight, also expecting to hear from Pen with some brilliant assistance.
The Indians are going to find it tough going when you see them in July - so dry that most of the cattle have been trucked out and there hasn't been a buffalo for years in that country.
Thanks for your reply - Mal will be very worried - because I could get to the Forum before he could get back to Brisbane. I really think we should go all out to assist him. But your right, I bet he never leaves town without checking - as he left Birdsville I walked around the back and checked for him, gave the door a couple of hard belts and told him to leave town - he wasn't very grateful and asked me what part of "get stuffed" I didn't understand. Some friend!! They were very lucky to find all their gear - some of it made its way back to the Noccumdra Pub.
See you in July, Mike. Safe travelling.

Sorry, Mal, the devil made me do it. You are now famous - people up and down the track are talking about you, and that was before I posted this! Glad you made it home safely - hello to Lyn.

Oh Mal, in the words of the late great Jimmy Cagney - "You dirty rat!!"
Thanks for the great write up. Still a shame about the tortoise though.
