Me mate, EO Member George(NT), had to leave his beloved Nissan 4.2 behind in Boulia, Queensland, after spending a week there hemmed in by floodwaters. He and his good lady flew out back to darwin via Birdsville and Brisbane on the milk run a few weeks ago, leaving his wagon in the care of the local publican.

He decided to go and collect it last week as the Barkly Hwy is once again passable. He got a ride to the Isa after advertising the fact and arrived there last Saturday. Tried to hitch a ride to Boulia but the only one to stop was a fella who was worse for wear, so George decided that it would be better to wait for the supply truck to come up from Boulia today and get a lift back.

Trouble is....it started raining again and floodwaters have now cut the road bewteen Dajarra and Mt Isa and it seems that George will have to cool his heels in the copper city until Friday....or maybe longer.

Such is life!

George says Cheers to all his EO mates.



Cheers
