Footloose
Off on Friday at last. Over to the West via the GJR and Kidson, down through the Pilbera to
Perth and back via the windy cold flat bit down the bottom :)

Steve, I've "always" had HF, and have been a member of 737 for years. I'll be on at sked time, and usually scanning during the day (Q4223, selcall the same) except when I'm on the amateur travellers net 14116.
Have a great trip. Nice country out there.

Footie,
Countdown not far away now, eh?
Further bit of info, from friends who travelled Plenty from here mid-June, who I mentioned in another post.
Had a post card from them, from the Alice, & I quote: "- on the Plenty, which had fewer(enormous) bulldust holes but more corrugations than the Donahue" unquote.
Not trying to scare you, Footie, just a factual account.
Weather great out here at moment, makes all this talk of retirement, even more enticing. Roll on July, '07.
Take care,
Regards,
Bob.

Thanks Bob, I'm afraid that I don't scare that easily (unfortunately). I expect it to be cut up a bit until Tobermary , ordinary until Jarvois and bloody corregated to the tar. Thats going on what I know of that track by experience. I'll take 2 days to do it this time, probably stay around Jarvois.
Great on the retirement date, you'll really enjoy it if you have managed to scrape a few sheckles together.
Cheers
