It's said that you can't choose your rellies, but you can choose your friends.

Didn't get knighted like Sir Garth, but joined anyway.

I reckon that I get good value here, and plenty of laughs, plus some good info.

Anyhow us South Aussies need all the support we can get..

Bit of brief info; currently drive a Troopy (did look at a Nissan, honest), married, couple o grown up kids, hope to retire soon and travel (have retired twice already!!) lived in Darwin/Katherine/Tennant Creek/Alice Springs/Nhulunbuy/Broken Hill/Mount Gambier/Melrose SA/Whyalla plus the obligitory cities, Adelaide and Melbourne.

Presently at Jamestown SA (just down the road from Willem)

Enough ramble, any member travelling this route and needs a driver reviver give me a shout.

Cheers

Michael, on behalf of all EO members sans one from Berri welcome and may I apologise for such a confronting welcome from Des hahaha

I have partaken in hos reviver and can vouch for (a) his wonderful hospitality (b) his great sense of humour (c) his friendliness and ability to make you feel welcome and at home.

He is indeed a gentleman and not at all reflects his age based comment in your direction

Mr Lexic said................

Quote: "You know that you're all welcome here anytime"..........end quote.

WHAT A CROCK OF CHIT!!!!!!!

As an example, I advised Mr Lexic I would passing through his neck of the woods around 0200hrs on a particular day and that I might call in for a driver-reviver coffee. His one word response says it all............. "DON'T"!!!!!!!!!!

I was so offended that I didn't bother to ask whether it was just because it was 'me' who was to be passing through, or could it possibly have had something to do with the hour of the day? If the latter, then that blows a hole in the last word of his quoted invitation (above), doesn't it????!!!!!! hahahahahaha

Welcome Micheal,
Know Jamestown well, as I live in Blyth, was working up there a few weeks ago as I have done many times in past years.
Look forward to catching up some time, there is a group of us on here including Roachie who are involved with the YP4WD club , so if you wont to do a w/ender or something some time give us a call, mob no and email under my rig pic, and a revivor is always on here too.
We were supposed to go to woomera last w/e for another tour, but they closed the roads on the range due to the rain, so that trip will be rescheduled soon, and a few of us are going to the truck racing at Mallala on this sunday if your a petrol head.
We are having a campover at our club rooms and some campfire cooking and a small working bee in a couple weeks time, with the kadina show , (where we have a display,) later in august, and a week on Kangaroo Island in October, to name a few things on.
Hope to catch up soon.

"PS Mr Lexic is not as bad as Mr Roach makes him out to be !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL" Gee Pesty, I'm overcome. I am a bit worried if Willem knows him and he speaks highly of you though. lol
Michael, Roachie is YP president and Pesty is trips co-ordinator I think. That's no recommendation on the club though. We have a much better one here in the Riverland.

Easy Des Easy!
Dont make me downgrade you in public hahahaha
Yes you are correct Des, Roachie is our president and Pesty is the trip coordinator, must be great club then with talent like that running things, we havent lost a member in the desert for ages now, even better than that riverland mob!
But we will spend the w/e with you and show you how to enjoy yourselves in Dec, as you invited us we could hardly say no!
Hope we are free camping this time, no woosy caravan park stunts????
Tiddy Widdy would be good then.
Will I need to book Ray up again with a supply of a/h spare parts?

Cheers Pesty

LOL Pesty, Might need the A/H spare parts thing. At least I have a new battery fitted so that fixes that bit.
It's on the trip calander.
Wish I was going to the truck races but we have a trip tp Gluepot on.
We have never lost a member in the desert. Sometimes they are geographically dislexic but they have always come out alive.

Bummer you didnt post this about a week back! As I passed thru there on Sunday night on way from Bris to WA. Got stuck in Port Augusta for the day (monday) getting a minor prob sorted at Toyota before the nullabor crossing. Actually didnt go thru Jtown but straight to PA but stopped in the hills and kipped for the nite!

Wouldn't it have been easier to say I haven't lived........ probably less words that way hehehe.

Cheers,

Thanks for the welcome Trevor,

I guess that one advantage of moving about is that it gives you a great appreciation of what this great country has to offer, without travelling too far.

One downside is that we tended to go back to some of those places to see the touristy things....lol

Cheers
Michael
