This time next week, I should be at
Roper Bar, then onto
Borroloola,
Lawn Hill,
Karumba, then the
Atherton T/Lands, to meet up with Mum and dad for Xmas.
The little Man will fly over with my sister and her two girls, after school breaks up.
By the 15th we should be in
Cairns, for Xmas and New Year, I am looking forward to that drink with the mob from FNQ.
After that
well no plans as yet, some Ideas but no plans, so don't be surprised if I turn up somewhere and post If any body in the area wants a Drink and to catch up.
Then again if the fishing is good I may just stay in FNQ.
The only commitment I have is to be home by the 2nd of Feb so the little man can start school.
