Bernie...If Mr. Al has any doubts...[which he probably will...lol] then he won't take it..and his Mrs. might jump in someone else's car for a drive....but we'll see...knowing Mr. Al, he will be just as happy sitting around with the kids...Life, live it, love it

goodday ruth have been following your posts very interesting this supply truck is it the one full of liquid refreshement for the area .we went to ld last year very sandy lot of mallee trees etc easy to get bogged in some areas, time may be better spent unloading the truck .
mind you ld is a pretty area but was very dry due to drought but golf links were green they were beside the river

as i am having trouble sizing the picture

oh thanks for that guys. I don't know whether there has been rain in that area this year - when you get in there what do you see (apart from mallee trees - they are beautiful when in flower though)?These are Diamantina Barra (Yellowbelly)
GO HARD OR GO HOME

Now Ruth and Ian
I have been on the travelmate site and found that it is only 1775km from Birdsville to Dimboola. It estimates that it would take 23.37 hours to get there, so how about it!!! A bit of a drive, I admit, but you would love it. Might teach you how to fish and catch some yabbies - that sort of stuff. We are now going to Dimboola and making the big effort to get there on the Friday. Would love to see you there - now common - no excuses please!! See ya there, right? Don't worry about the supply truck - the guy will unload it himself! Ha ha ha

You are really cruel - I've just read through all these posts - you are going to have such fun (keep an eye on Mr Toonfish, bit worried about him) and I'll be here in glorious downtown Tirdsville (sorry, typo there) - not even going to be in Adelaide this weekend for the 21st (sorry Willem, won't be able to have cuppa tea with you) - just playing tennis (only 35, quite windy) going to Happy Hour, have to wash the 100 series,
look at pictures of new boat, now trying to decide where to put the GPS - but after recent posts think I'll put it on the door pillar on passenger side (of Ian's new Toyota Ute) and get second mount for on the boat. Failing that, I'll be entertaining all the hordes of visitors - we actually had one car load yesterday - nice couple can't remember where they live in WA they've been travelling for so long, two large Rotties in a cage in the Nissan, KK and boat. Came from Innamincka and heading north, and saw another strange car this morning. Things are looking up.
This weekend we'll really be going fishing - once the truck has been unloaded - as the driver will be Unk Bill Wilson so will be forced to drink copious bottles of v. good red and fish. Guess it will be a bit like your weekend? Have a good time everyone - don't let Mrs Al scratch/dent the car. Is Mr Al going along to polish it?These are Diamantina Barra (Yellowbelly)

Ruth,

Apparently Mr Al only has the option of "polishing it" nowadays. . . . . or so he tells me!"Live today as if there may be no tomorrow"

Only a lady driver would do that

Gary, from the main drag in Dimboola head westish along Wimmera Street, over the bridge across the river then turn left, carry on and turn right onto horseshoe bend rd, carry on and turn right at the T intersection which is still horseshoebend rd then carry on to horseshoe bend. If you want a 1:25k map email me, if you run oziexplorer I can send the .map file also BEAM ME UP SCOTTY


Hooroo

Thanks everyone. See you Friday....

UHF channel 10 from Friday ~ 2 pm.

GOB and Denny - saw that about the mallee fowl. Gosh that's a great program - I'm waiting on the DVD (Arkay told us about it on recent post).Bet you lot won't be looking at mallee fowl - fowl around the campfire later. Remember - Channel 10 in the SD as well! those mallee fowl parents have got the right idea - just bury the eggs, make sure the temps right and get back to business, chick hatches out, eats straight away and flies the next day - no parental supervision, just straight into life. Have fun.These are Diamantina Barra (Yellowbelly)

yes this weekend coming..and I wouldn't worry about it, it's going to be hot, you could just be a nature boy....I know someone who's bound to be a nature boy as well so you needn't be on your own....lol...Life, live it, love it

The lightforce are coming Bernie, but maybe not for this weekend. yeah I'll be able to talk to people...hahhaha....Life, live it, love it

Hi Peter,

cheers

Might it be a good idea to describe what vehicle we are all in.

I can just imagine how much fun it will be walking around Horseshoe Bend asking 400,000 other 4by owners if you are with the Explore OZ group.

I will be there later on Friday Arvo in a 78 Series white Troopy with all the crap hanging of it. I will also moniter channel 10 on the UHF.

It might be nice if we could try and camp in a loose group if thats what each vehicle want to do.
As I guesss the point of the excersise was to meet and get to know others from this forum.
Maybe Mrs Al would like to start another thread asking what vehicles and where you intend to go and what time each is expected to arrive at either the CP or The Bend.
Just a thought, if nobody agrees with me then thats fine to.

Regards
John

Hi Good idea John

Still not sure if We will get there yet. ( 14 Vehicles TLC on UHF15)
Scotty has them at Horseshoe Bend for Sunday night ..... he might
have to look else where.
