Who's arriving when @ Warraweena

Nah! Bring yer bathers. I hear that a warm spell is on its way.....:-))))))

Muddy,

The missus and myself are thinking about leaving on the Friday arvo aswell and I worked out we would roughly get there about midnight.

Let me know if you want to meet somewhere and travel together. I was going via Port Wakefield and Quorn.

Cheers Luke

Ps. We met at a YP4wd club meeting a couple of months back if you dont recognise me

That's OK - I remember.

We are likely travelling straight up the guts via Blyth, Clare, Jamestown, Orroroo, Craddock and then it Hawker and up from there. Shorter route and quieter roads that way, though I suppose more likelyhood of roos perhaps at night .... not sure.

Leaving Adelaide around 6.30pm

Muddy

Thought of going that way at first but decided to go via Port Wakfield ect, ect cause I live in Burton, 2 minutes from Port Wakefield Rd.

Leaving somewhere between 4:30-5:00pm. Depends what time the missus knocks off work. Bloody Woman lol

Cheers Luke

Luke,
Up Pt Wakey road to Two Wells, up to Mallala, Balaklava, Blyth, etc
Will be much quicker, travel it regularly.

Cya there Pesty

Unfortunately I can't get there, but I would be looking out for roos after Orroroo.
Very appropriate with a name like that.
I haven't seen many roos south of there. but plenty after Orroroo.
Have a great time, wish I was there.
Dave

Hi Warren,
We plan on leaving on Friday morning, so we will see you sometime later that day.
Nette

I think you had better leave this Friday if you want to be sure that you will get there by next Friday.

goodday willem
knowing how much time you spend up there i would imagine your spot has a big RESERVED sign on it lolololol
just jealous i cant be there but hopefully there will be a meeting somewhere next year when i should be free from that 4 letter word

steve

Hahahaha....no, I usually stay at the homestead. :-)))))))

Hi Ruth & Ian
still in the same place Ventnor Hotel Port Vincent working too bloody hard
can only have a week off looking for another second chef & changing the menu lol
George our youngest is an apprentice carpetlayer, so he has trade school that week in Adelaide
Sorry you can't join us
And look forward to seeing you next year either down here or preferably us up there hahahah
Barb says hi she's wants one of your cappuccino
I will take plenty of shots & video for everyone
warren aka aussichef

Poor George - bet he'd like to be going to Warraweene. Think of the mischief he can get up to at trade school in Adelaide without the rest of you holding him up!! Yahoo.
When you come back to Birdsville Barb can have her cappuccino because we bought a smaller version of the one in the shop for the house and it's coming with us next winter! We are still hoping to come south for the whiting fishing at Smokey Bay in March - but will cruise to Port V as well, of course.
Make sure you get plenty of evidence at Warraweena. Wanted to drink white lightning with Willem too - and drink anything with Mrs. Al. Doesn't matter what you plan some family member wants to disrupt it by wanting to get married. Oh well, hopefully see everyone next year. Have a good time.

Haven't you left yet?

I do agree on the time frame.
Trevor.

You still awake trevor.
Run out of paint with about 300mm square to go.
Oh well finish next nigt
ross

Lets just say I've JUST finished packing and I'm stuffed lol. Last two days i've been screwed over time wise, although with the rain I sooked out and decided to go as I had planned in the morning leave around 4 - 5 am. The idea of putting a tent up in the rain did not excite me.

cya later
Brian

We're leaving for home on Tuesday 10th at about lunch time :(

Cheers Luke

where leaving Tuesday too Luke
maybe travel back together mate
warren aka aussichef

Sounds like a good idea Warren......... Leaving on Tuesday doesnt tho, Knowing its all over lol

See you there

Cheers Luke

Phil, Ian is asking where you got your canopy made - local guy here interested in one the same please?

Hi Ruth,
Sad you won't make it to Warraweena :-((
Unfortunately we won't make it to Birdsville this year - off to the Pilbara next month.

The canopy was built by a small body builder in Adelaide called GSV. http://gsv.com.au/
They were happy to build my canopy almost 3 years ago, but when I've referred people to them lately, they seem reluctant to do small jobs, and they tend to refer people on to Gitshams, who are a big Adelaide Company that do quality aluminium work but at a price. I think GSV have got overwhelmed with work, and only take the big jobs. But if your friend calls Albert on (08) 8244-9800, tell him what he wants, and see what happens. We couldn't be happier with the quality of our canopy. Other options are MetalForm industries in Melbourne (no website), and Roscos from WA http://www.roscos.com/ who make the Telstra canopies.

Cheers
Phil

Thanks Phil for that. I'll pass on the information to Ian's mate. I forgot you were going to the Pilbara. We'll be in Bdv for most of next winter with an early foray to Smoky for whiting fishing (March?). Got to get this house built after we get back from our next trip to BDV and SD this year. Enjoy Warraweena for us.

You just saying you are unreliable? LOL

Maybe, that's us not the car your talking about ;-))

After all you chose it for us :-))

Baz.

Mate, didn't know if you had the same one. Thought you may have bought a good Nissan 3.0TD

I got beer to keep me warm

Which way you going, might see you on the way!!

Baz.

Hi Baz,
Leaving west of Newcastle on Saturday,
Golden Hughway to about Dubbo,
staying at Goobang NP,
through Parkes and Forbes,
follow the Lachlan River as far as Lake Cargellico,
stay a night at Menindee Lake,
across the SA border to Danggali Cons Park,
replenish essential supplies at Hawker,
then a night in Flinder Range NP,
before arriving at Willem's little party on Friday.

How about you anything of interest going over?
How long are you allowing?

Chris

Chris or Redback,

We're leaving Broken Hill Thursday morning and turning off at Yunta and taking the back scenic route thru to Blinman. Any of you guys interested in going the same way?? Hoping to make Waraweena by Thursday night but might camp along the way depending on time and then roll in early Friday morning. Let us know if your keen.

Thanks Hughesy,
I think we will need to go via Hawker to refill the tucker box. See you at W.

Our first stop is Darlington point, then Lyrup, but we are going to Arkapeena first then Warraweena on thursday.

See you there !!

Baz.

Hope Pesty is following later, so you Nissan drivers make it there.
Cheers Peter and Lez

We're making sure we get away before Pesty, cos we're sick and tired of always having to tow his sorry-ass to our destination and back again. ;-))

Cough BU cough LL cough SH cough IT cough RO cough AC cough HY cough

Pesty in the Toyota (nissan backup unit!) Sorry I couldnt make it to the last oil slick!

Pesty,

Would you like me to call into Blyth on the way up to see if the Toyota is ok, It might need a tow there by the sounds of things hey :)

Cheers Luke

Mate you can call into Blyth anytime you like, but dont overload the Nissan with toyota repair equipment, if you can find such stuff, cos it will be a total waste of time and money.

Cheers Pesty

Take it easy on that long drive, remember driver fatigue ;-))
