follow up 110lt waeco

G'day Jim,
I went the Remco with Chris's blessing, he reckons they perform well and as long as I don't need it for cranking I should be right.

Murrundindi... Been there once, followed a mate around for a couple of hours so I am not very familiar with the area. We were there after quite a heavy period of rain, I got snatched out twice that day and I saved him once. He lives in Perth now so it's not likely he'll be playing tour guide. There must be someone in EO who has played out there a bit and wouldn't mind a weekend away.

10/11/12/13 dec I'll be away for the first big test of the fridge/battery setup as well as the SWMBO/Tambo setup ( which will be directly affected by the fridge/battery performance ) . At this stage it looks like we'll be out near Avoca, we have 20 acres out that way with NO power or water...

Leading up to xmas my shifts are always crazy so it's hard to make a firm commitment. If someone else wants to take charge of a weekend away, I could give a tentative Yes but confirmation would have to be last minute.

Thanks again for the battery advice, I'm sure we'll catch up for a play sometime soon... I'm pretty keen on one of your Gembrook adventures.

Blue,

An EO gathering at Avoca could be a possibilty on that weekend?

How far away is Avoca?

Cheers,

Jim.

Our property is in a town called Barkly about 40k's out of Avoca. Approx 3 hours from FTG. The nearest pub is Moonambel where the new publican will sell you Jim Beam cans for $4.50ea take away, whether you buy 1 or a slab. It's a good place to go to get away from the city lights and relax for a few days, wineries for SWMBO and I'm sure there must be some fantastic tracks up through the Pyrinees ranges. I'll have to suss out some maps and see what I can come up with.

mmmmmmmmmmmmmm Moonambel Pub, glorious memories of ful bellies and warm and friendly atmosphere. Great Place. Used to work for SEC in Maryborough so looked after that area. Never knew about 4wd tracks back then but drove a Sigma so thats why prolly. Dec is a lot close to Chrissy but Avoca's so close to home, less than 2hrs easy.

Hi Bonz,
how long ago were you at the Moonambel pub? We hadn't been there for about 3 years, dropped in just before Easter this year and the old friendly warm country service seemed to have followed Pat and Erroll when they sold up. Was really dissapointed by the cold and rather unfriendly service and nearly fell over when I asked for a slab of Jim Beam cans to go and was told " $108 thanks..." i said excuse me and he said " $4.50 per can" I said you must be f@#$*&% kidding, he said " take it or leave it" I said stick it up your a$$ and left.

More years ago than I care to remember Blue. Stayed twice at one of the woneries near there sonce then, great olde world charm and exquisite gourmet food.
