Hi all

I have just arrived into Alice Springs with the Super Screens for the Finke race. Will be here till Tuesday morn then off to Darwin for the V8s. Haven't met many EO members yet and im from Melbourne. So if your at the race please say hello or give me a call.

PS Had a wet trip thru Adelaide and up to Pimba. Clear blue sky's here today. Countryside looks fantastic at the moment, lot,s of grey nomads heading north!

cheers

Ok, How do I get your job??

Following motorsport around the country with the super screens would be every motorheads ideal job.

Have not been to finke but have mates that race there every year. Gee I wish I still raced offroad. Gee I wish I had your Job.. :)

We were in Alice last Friday & Saturday (Wet & Cold.) Plenty of competitiors and visitors already there.

Went to Curtain Springs Sunday, Ayers Rock Monday, and passed plenty of competitors towing bikes and buggies coming from the west (GCR) and by the state of their vehicles they saw plenty of mud.

Coming down the Stuart H'way passed dozens of bikes and buggies on utes, trailers, and some very flash pantechs.

Did you wave? .....Everyody else did :-)

Going to check out the Port Augusta fishing today.

Talking to our neighbour for the night at Cadney Homestead Tuesday night, and they had flown over Lake Eyre that morning from William Creek, then they're off to Alice for the Finke, & Darwin for the V8's also.

I'm going to check out the fishing at Port Augusta today and tomorrow, then off to Broken Hill, (Penrose Park) on Sunday.

Fred.

Hi Jay D

I've just spent the last week travelling from Sydney to Alice via Mt Isa.

I'm with Bruce Garland's team. I'll be around all weekend until Tuesday as well then heading back via Oonadatta & Tibooburra.

If you see the team, come and say Hi.

Have a great time

:-)
Lovin' it!
