Hi to all,
Joined as a member about a week ago and want to thank this forum and its members for the input of experience and information that is found freely offered on this site.It helps new travellers like myself and partner to appreciate what others experience.We are leaving Roma Qld about 8/5/07 and heading north then across NT then WA,from there on anywhere as we have no time limit.We have been born and bred in the bush and worked on the land, we are now busted 'rs ringers going to have a look over this great country. Might see some of you along the way. Cheers Bill and Brenda

If you find yourselves on the Yorke Peninsula (SA) on your travels, give us a hoy.
