Just wondering if anyone has had any contact with Willem, where is he and how is the progress. Last I heard he had some overheating problems on the CSR.

Cheers
Dick

G'day Stuart

Willem and Judith were camped up in the Newman caravan park on Wednesday afternoon, we spoke at lenght about their desert travels and of course about his choice of tyres. Willem gets somewhat passionate about his ideas on travel and equipment we agreed to disagree on a couple of points regarding the "Bush"
They were leaving Newman sometime on Friday to tackle the " bore line " track and they intended on spending a quiet few days at Barn Hill.

For me, it is always nice to finally put a face to a name.

Regards: Joe

G'Day Fred.B.

I believe the Kempens were traveling and camping solo, though it's a fairly sizeable caravan park, but Willems camp was well on its own, maybe because of their dog ~ Jess . I'm not 100% sure.

Regards everyone: Joe

Hey Mr Pesty, how's things? How are John and Suz? and Joe, the dog's name is Jeddah (she especially loves our cat - that is, she'd specially love to eat it!)

Twice I believe Michael! Agree with Mr Pesty, you are indeed subtle...and too kind. Glad to see you made it home. Arrived in Warburton this day. They have 3G and have had it for 10 days now. All well. Heading on to Connie Sue and Anne Beadell way tomorrow. Hope to call in your way in about 2 weeks time. Subtank fell out on the Talawana. Why me lord? See you soon fella.

G'day Graham H

The Kempens + Jedda the black dog were in the other caravan park. (Newman Caravan Park)

I trust the dog won't be to offended by my not rememembering her name, but she was definately guarding the Nissan very closely.

Yep we caught up with Judith, Willem and Jeddah at Marble bar the other week.
George & Maureen are home as are John and Suzette (for the moment;-))), glad to hear Michael J made it home ok.
We met with Mick O in Rudall River NP the other day and parted after luch as we were heading south towards Perth (there now) and he was heading eastwards to be home by the end of the month.
The Nissan was running well.
