Compliments of the Season to you all and CYA later

Yerrr..... well, it's that time of the year again. Xmas parties, good wishes and goodbyes. You even smile at some whom you love to hate....lol.


I have spent too much time on the net this year but what else is there to do? 10 weeks or thereabouts was taken up with 4x4-ing with a big trek to Darwin and back and another one to the Gold Coast and back. Two trips to Warraweena, Flinders Ranges SA. First one was for a Painting Expedition where I was the location driver and the other was Warraweena ExplorOz National Gathering. Later the Victorian Gathering at the Pyrenees was a weekend of fun and games. I put new faces to names and caught up with old EO mates during these excursions. I managed to use up a few parts on the GQ which kept the bank balance low at times but the old bnus is still purring sweetly.

Next year is an unknown quantity as fuel prices are going to dictate how far we venture from our camp. I have another painting trip on in April and then a hard core off -track adventure in mid May into the bowels of the Northern Territory. I will be leading a convoy of around 7 vehicles on an adventure to somewhere east of Lake MacKay. After that I will have to save up for another big trek to the northwest of WA in 2009.

We leave for the East Coast tomorrow via bushtracks and wil hover around the outskirts of the BIG Smoke(Sydney) and then travel back west across the mountains early in the new year.

So CYA all later and take care out there.

Cheers
