Ive been a member of ExplorOz for almost 2 years now and get a lot of pleasure out of the different characters contributing to the
Forum.
When I saw the Gathering listed, and having read stories from previous Gatherings, I thought I might try to get there. When I told my wife that we are going to
Innamincka there were some raised eyebrows.
It's a long way from
Perth. So I thought we could tie in a trip to
Melbourne and get a couple of little things done to the Trakmaster at the factory.
When we picked up our van 12 months ago I mentioned that we were going over and I met Pesty in
Clare, Ruth and Willem in
Birdsville (I'll bring you a pressie, Ruth. I don't want that branding iron on my butt) and almost met some more members on the Nullarbor if we weren't in such an un-necessary hurry. It was very nice.
We will be going from
Melbourne up thru
Broken Hill to
Innamincka. I have an EO window sticker on the back of the van and on the vehicle windscreen. Sing out on CH40 if you see us.
I know we will like everyone there and I'm looking forward to making new friends in other states for future trips.
We are off on Sunday 15th. Nullarbor, Eyre Peninsula, Wakerie, SW Victoria,
Melbourne,
Mildura,
Broken Hill,
Innamincka.
See you there.

Hello Gone Bush,
We live near
Beulah, which is on the Henty Highway and if you're heading from
Melbourne to
Mildura you might be travelling through. If so just call in to town and I'll be at the Chemist
shop in the main street (only very small town you won't miss it). Also if you need somewhere to
camp for the night you would be very welcome.
Give me a message on here if you like.
Have a great time in
Innamincka if we don't catch up. Wish we could go but we're heading away for six weeks at the start of August and can't manage two trips.
All the best
Viv

Thanks Viv,
We haven't finalised our route out of
Melbourne yet, so you never know. We may take up your kind offer.
cheers
