G'day all,
I have been on the road now for about 18 months and have travelled quite a few K's in that time. One thing that puzzles me is that although there are a lot of us members of EO, I don't see many identifying stickers.
So is my eyesight failing or does everyone consider showing their allegiance a bit twee?

Mate I saw three in
Alice Springs last week and found one in the absolute middle of nowhere, somewhere around 21°38'10.67"S 128°43'3.00"E. (See photos) I reckon the fingerprints on the back belonged to some bloke from Perff (That's two 'efs!)
Caught up with a couple in Alice driving a big green truck called Hugo and pasted with EO stickers and an EO rear wheel cover.
They are about and you'll always find one in the out of the way
places.
Cheers Mick

Cheers Baz. Yep there was a bloke named Michael Terry in 1933, an anthropologist named Thompson in 1957 and Phil B in 2010(ish). I'll leave you to guess who left the EO sticker ;-)
We were following a lot of Phil's track from the
Stansmore Range to Labbi Labbi
Rockhole. Very gracious and left us plenty of firewood at some of his old camps as well.
Cheers Mick
