Hi Willem,
Many thanks - your comments are highly valued as I frequently
check your site and enjoy the fascinating stories you have to tell (I grew up in Mt
Newman with the old man owning a Series I Landrover and belonging to the local 4WD club way back on 1974).
I have matured somewhat since first doing the website some 15 years ago with the current being my third attempt. GIVATHAFAT stems from a saying that loosly translates from "giving it the fat end of the foot" which was from the days that I used to navi in a 4wd competition team.
Those days have long passed and I am now devoted to club and touring trips which has seen the need to revamp the site as I don't believe that is up to current standards.
I like to follow my teachings from my Army days of KISS but with the changes seen in wesite development over the years, it is hard to know what people enjoy.
With the forums, you frequently see people that are 'posters' languishing in the fact that they seek solace in having a high post count but not actually contributing anything. However, you then see the 'lurkers' that offer rare but valuable snippets of information and are the mainstay of sites such as this (Exploreoz).
I could'nt and wouldn't keep up with forums such as this but would like to offer my own little piece to the world as you have done.
Regards
David
