Finally got the last of the stuff packed ready for St George.

It is amazing how much additional stuff you need to take when organising such things :)
I have had stuff sent to me from all over and had to find spots to fit it all. That is not including the stuff I had sent directly to St George.

We are heading off early in the morning so the Kids sleep most of the way ;) The dog sitter is booked in St George as well so that is one less thing I have to deal with when there.

To all those who are still to leave and those on the road already have a safe trip and don't panick if you end up arriving late. I would prefer you arrive Alive and ready for fun than either dead or worn out.

To those who couldn't make it (especially Tonbon) we will all be thinking of you hahahaha

I won't have much access to the internet whilst away although there is a few comming that have. I am sure they will keep you posted as to what is happening.

I will do a full trip report when I return, hopefully there will be some great pics.

Cheers Kev

G/Day Kev

I got keen yesterday and gave the Truck and Caravan a bit of a wash, they were covered in Ash from a bush fire that was over in the next valley, and today they are both RED, from the dust that blew in, never mind that's the least to worry about, the Cook has been throwing some Tucker in the van and my Beer, I'll fill the water tanks and if all goes well we will leave on Friday, we will stop over at Toowoomba and Camp at Dalby over night and see you on Saturday, in the mean time find out where the Yabbies are, lol lol.

PS. You and the family have a safe trip.

Cheers

There is a great fruit and vege shop in Dalby, Betros Bros across the road from the Mobil Servo/McDonalds in the main highway ;)

Have a great trip as well, you may run into Jo going that way as well :)

Yes I have and there is alot of stuff that is to be delegated.

But the notes for the Trip report is something I want to do, then all I have to do is get a bit of input from others as well.

Now I am off to bed

See you in St George :))

We're 90% packed and will be leaving mid morning today (Friday 25th)......but as we have a bit further to go than most of you, we won't arrive at St George until late Sunday.

We will be travelling with Dave B from Broken Hill (which is where we will be parked-up tonight).

It started to rain again overnight and is still piisssissently coming down out there now......but the charts seem to indicate we will out-run it as we get out towards Yunta and beyond........then it will just be the wind we have to contend with!!! Sheesch!! Don't ya just love this wide brown (red????) land of ours...!!! hahahaha
