Just spent the week in Gladstone. Caught up with sir kev and also Nev G. It's amazing how you can rock up at someone's house that you have never met (in person) and yet have heaps in common (like recipes for cats)lol. Was good to put faces to names (well sort of) lol. Thanks for the stickers too Kev, give me something to do next week. Thanks for your hospitality.
We spent Sunday at Awoonga dam, got three cat fish and dropped one small barra. The girls had a ball even though we didn't get much. Only 3 more weeks then its up to the tip, time flys when your having fun, problem is it is getting closer to the end as well. 12th of Sept will be our finish date. We started on Jan 2nd 2007 on the tassie boat and we will finish on Sept 12 2009 on the tassie boat. Before any wise cracks we will get off the boat at the other end but the trip over on the boat would be like the final crossing.
We will still have to find somewhere to live so might stretch it out a couple more weeks in tassie. Head to Hobart via west coast maybe.

Good evening Josh and family.

If you had a ball and lot's of fun on the trip and the Tassie boat is the end of it............(it's cold down in the small Island), so why not go round one more time and have some more fun, and meet some other Eo members.

Cheers for now...William H...Bunbury...WA.

I said it was the end of this trip, not the end of us travelling. I plan to meet many more people over the next few years, but I think a short stop won't hurt. In no way do I plan to stop travelling, as we talk about stopping we find the conversation often turns to where could we go to next. I asked the girls if they wanted to stop and live in a house or keep travelling. The reply was.... stop and live in a house!! For like a couple of weeks then go again. You have to love their thinking. Tasmanians say it's no colder than Vic and currently some of the locals here say this is cold so I don't really know anymore.

Josh,

It is always good to meet new EO folk, I mentioned your knife demo's yesterday and nearly everyone I spoke to said that they saw you during the week at Woolies hahahaha

Enjoy the rest of your trip and I hope you get a decent Barra up north.

Cheers Kev

You will notice Kev in the left rear of this recent family portrait carrying his bango!

There are no known photo's of him with a banjo suitable for this forum.
