Happy New Year

Lets see how long this time :D

LMAO

Roachie, mate. I think us Victorians would just like to convert Willie enough to wash the sand out the crow you guys would like us to eat...

Have a good one there Bill, Annette and family. The Ultimate family again......., yes they have a Patrol too.

Baz, a Haappy New Year to you folks too, Kerrie, Venessa, Honey and Pepper. That is a nice thing to say about the welcome. Funny about the people we have met here, they are W E L C O M E. Willie is more like a bro in more ways than one. Bearing in mind I have never had one, he has........

Hi Ray, if you are on line you must be working LOL.
You and your family have a good one, and looking forward to catching up in 2005.

Cheers

Thanks Bernie and all the best to you also. I'm sure we'll catch up somewhere along the line.

16 days aint enough to see 1/150th!!
Amazing place, we did it in 95 on the bike, but only had 8 days, it was almost like Lampoons Vacation to Wally World...
Do u have any plans of what to see yet?

It will be a pleasure to have Dave and Michelle Back.

Hi John hope you all have a good trip ( got a long snorkel)
see you in 2005

Cheers

Hiya Bruce
Yeah your probably right 16 days won't be enough, just will have to go back I guess to see the bits I missed this time.

As for plans, "Get of the boat" turn right and just keep cruising around the west coast down the bottom and back up the east.
Do as many suitable tracks as I can on the west coast.
Plus as much of the tourist things as well.
I can delay my departure if I want to by a few days. (Unless the world self destructs whilst I am away)

I believe David and Michelle are in Tassie or soon will be, If I come across them I will tell them you are sobbing onto your key board LOL.

Have a good one mate and hope all goes well with you and the family in 2005.

Cheers
John

"As for plans, "Get of the boat" turn right and just keep cruising around the west coast down the bottom and back up the east. "

that is 100% EXACTLY what we did! No plans, everyone went left off the boat, we went right.

Cradle mtn, Russell Falls are a must.
Queenstown, the only place with no women in town! so drive thru fast, but careful of the roads coming out of there, the signs will say 60kph LEFT, and the road goes right!!!!

You will have fun.. :P

Well what can I say Bruce, "Great minds really do think alike"

Hi John,

Michelle and David are certainly in Tasmania and they are currently on the west coast of Tasmania. If you see them, give them a wave or say 'Hi'. They will be there for another 2 weeks and I think they have done the 'get off the boat and turn right!' - we will have to wait to read their Journal and they will also be publishing several trek notes that they have done.

Hope everyone had a great new years eve, and all the best for 2005,
Regards,
Juliana.

Hi Bruce not sure about your post.
Have a good one in 2005

Cheers

Same Bernie. Look at how many replies and follow ups there are to this thread. See how many are missing.

My replies keep getting deleted, at least 10 things in the last few days.

Will be doing some East of Dargo Trips next yr, theres a whole new world out there I didnt realise!

It will be a pleasure to have Dave and Michelle Back.
And I say again

Truckster,

Where exactly are you going east of Dargo... Bairnsdale, Lake Entrance, Paynesville etc?

Wishing everyone on ExplorOz a safe and happy New Year,

Regards,
Juliana

Bruce, plenty of hills and if you got yourself into a kayak some very good rivers. The Mitchell and the Snowy to start with. I'd be there myself

"Will be doing some East of Dargo Trips next yr, theres a whole new world out there I didn't realise!"
