Hi everyone,
I was contacted today by one of the rangers at the Werrimul Office who was doing a final check of the Shearers Quarters, the tank is full of water, there are two showers at the Quarters, and they have made sure that there's pleny of gas for us ....he also told me that if anyone who is using a tent wants to pitch it in the Shearers Quarters Grounds they can do so [there is a fire pit there as well] the rest of us will be in the camping ground which is about 100 meters away...
Please refer to updates posted on post number 20594.
Trucky if you want to paste your link here go for it...I"m not good with links ;)
cheers
Lyn

Mate, great news on the lockers...they kick butt, no doubt about it.
With the high forecast temps and no rain I think I'll leave the tent at home, see how I feel when I load up tomorrow. Don't forget the fuel for the bikes...can't put smelly oil in em. Not sure what time I'll get away. I have to work Thursday night till midnight but will pack up most of the stuff tomorrow before work....only a coupla boxes and the Engel....I'm travelling light

yea havent got my knee brace yet, so wont be m/bikes, only pushies.
yea thinking a lunchtime leave would be good, that way miss all traffic, and also get there around 7, quick tent up, some photos around the place (clearing off the 2gig cards now) and fire and sleep.
Wanna travel light, usually do, but with the trailer, I'll probably lose my brains.

Very sad to say I'm a last minute withdrawal. My eldest son James (who was coming with me) was diagnosed with diabetes today, into hospital at 7 pm tonight and Jenny and I have just got home. He'll be in hospital for a couple of days whilst they stabilise it. Don't fancy taking him straight up the bush,
miles from medical help whilst we are learning how to treat it.
See you all next time.
Cheers,
Jim.

All the best to James .. it's always a shock though if you look after yourself there is usually no problem. I reckon in ten years they will have stem cell transplants that might be able to cure it.
