TR - too late. By the time I got back with Willem from showing him a good camp spot (not very far from the house) Uncle was clean as and Willem had his tub. They've gone to the camp spot with a bottle of Muscat I'd been saving for Willem for ages. Will probably see them down the camp later, failing that, will see them for coffee in the a.m.

G'day Ruth, good to know they are under way, Judith told me earlier they were out of Boulia last night so thought they would be getting close to you.

Just as well you don't head Southwards as Willie likes to flash his red jocks and to go for his swim. He must have gone for civility this time

Hope you folk are well there. May be a bit of a battle later in the year, hope you are ready for it.

HI JR, Willem was telling me about his new software so you can really talk! Went to that Conference which I thoroughly enjoyed but am worried about the future! Bro and Uncle on their best behaviour - they did 700 klms today and are a bit tired, so showed them a great spot (near water and with firewood) and gave Willem a bottle of Muscat I'd been saving for him! He showed me his bottle of Barbed Wire from S Africa! He thinks it's better than White Lightning. The flagpole is standing and flying the new flag from the Fed Govt! The paving finished on eastern side of the house, Ian now working on replacing the front fence from wire to colorbond to keep the sand out. Weather very nice - cold mornings and warm days. FIsh o.k., yabbies o.k.
They both look very well and Rosie's replacement has travelled well
without too much drama. I'll pass on your regards in the a.m. - they will pass this way for cafe noir on their way out down the Track as opposed to Cordillo. Bon soir (sorry watching 100 things to do before you die and it's France). Here for another couple of weeks and then - building the house!

Michael, perhaps the audience of Ruth and Ian was a bit small. So many at the EO gathering at Robe will remember the body surfer.........

Then Willie with "no evidence of the red jocks!"......

Ahhh, I'd heard the story of the body surfing at Robe, but had no idea that was part of the red jocks thing.
Don't think they went body surfing last night - but they had a nice campfire planned - not enough waves in the waterhole. Strongish, coldish NE blowing this a.m. but not enough to push the waves up for them.

Hi guys.
Long time no post by us. We have been slack! It was great speaking to John R a couple of days ago and he prompted me to come back and have a read of EO. So here I am and I see this post.... we have the video evidence of the "red jock" incident ... put to music no less.....think it is Robbie Williams "Let me entertain you"!!!!! We were certainly entertained that day, that's for sure!!

Hope you guys in Birdsville are well and happy! We missed not being able to get away this year...kids were talking about you not that long ago Ruth... think you have won them over with the milkshakes!
