Well looks like it was afternoon tea at my place.
Stopped in at
Wollongong on the way to southern
Sydney.
We compared notes on the
Kimberley Karavan. A bit of show and tell.
As stated good to meet some other people and chat about our common interests. Funny how
John and I could be twins....LOL!!
He's much taller than I!!
ie meeting other people and sharing life stories.
We first met through eo via email and a common purchase of a KK.
The journey continues..........
Garth

Garth, if you and
John could be twins - then that makes you triplets because
John & Willem could be bros. What a thought - three of you!!! LOL

Jeepers, Ruthie what a family. LOL Great to meet up yesterday Garth. You better come out to
Innamincka and meet the rest of the family and sister Ruthie too, but make sure you have some red ready for her glass as she likes it refilled.
Well never half empty.

John & Heather have arrived!!!
Under the cover of darkness
John backed the KK down the 200m driveway without hitting a thing. After dinner and a couple of bottles of red, Heather
John and I are now in the study, each on our own computer, logged onto ExplorOz. What else would people do when they haven't seen one another for such a long time. Charles get
home tomorrow night so a couple more bottles will be consumed but I don't know what we are going to do about the 4th computer.

Good to see they found their way to your place, have you had anymore luck finding a replacement truck??
I am still looking for you ;)
Cheers Kev

hay rolls on it, wouldn't do that with the sahara, you might scratch it!!!

Gee friends nice to see you so welcoming to Southern Blowins like us. We find so many EO types great to mix with and community identities in their own right.
Nice to meet
Laura and Jonty earlier yesterday and then to meet Garth as one of the original members of the Kimberly Karavan Owners Group was great, even if very impromptu. Sorry mate for that. It was great to meet you after hearing "the voice" on the phone so many times.
Rob and Charlie we met before crossing the SD in 2004 and had four fun days with them then.
Will meet a few EO people while around here in
Sydney area. Mobile number is with the rigpic if you have lost it.
