Good morning fellow EO members and visitors,
It's yet another great day to be alive here in the country music capitol of OZ (
Tamworth NSW). Unfortunately I have to continue to go to work to put more $$ away to pay for the next trip.
Speaking of trips - I'm putting some very tentative ideas together for next years National gathering trip in Sept - Oct 2009.
Thinking of leaving about a month before the gathering and going out to
Birdsville again but this time leaving the camper in
Birdsville and then doing a double crossing of the Simpson and then making my way to
St George from
Birdsville in plenty of time to collect lots of $$ for RFDS from the Horse Shoe tossing fans at the gathering.
That said; is anyone else thinking along the same lines - I'd like to have at least a couple more vehicles to do the crossings with (just in case I get lost hehehe).
Cheers

LOL know what you mean. We'll probably do a trip out to Camerons Corner and make our way across to EO 2009 from there.

Is there a prize at the gathering for the longest way there?
It's Ok, just jealous. Working to to pay for the next trip too.
Actually had 5 weeks on the road this year, best for a while.
Don't see us getting a trip next year, and if business goes dry, might not be able to afford to hit the road.

I might be in on the two way Simpson crossing.
I cracked it this morning and rang head office to let them know I had had enough. The National GM will be here on Monday, so it looks like I will have some time to myself next year apart from building the new House in
URALLA ( just up the road John). and being busy doing just what I want when I want.
