Who's Travelling The Farthest To The St George Gathering ?,

That's great Kev, he must be a avid Exploroz-er.

He must be a bloody good swimmer as well LOL

My swimming is not so flash.
Avid? or should that be rabid, probably a bit mad I suppose,
I don't mind flying, if it means getting across the ditch occasionally.
See you all there,
all going well.

***He must be a bloody good swimmer as well LOL***

Nup bloody long Snorkel !

Hi Guys,

I will also be jumping the ditch to the 'West Island'. :-))

6am departure (leave home at 3am) Arrive Bris about 7am local time. Allowing for half a day to pick and stock my vehicle should be there on Sunday afternoon.

Hi Kiwi
We kneed to bring a bit of edgamcation to our cozy-bros ovre thier at times don't we.
Please don't expect me to do that.
"Gone Bush" home address makes him and others from WA. further away than from my home base.
Next years gathering?
We might need a toss up.!!

Back again KK
How can you do that in so short a time?
My trip starts here 10.45 to ChCh - Auk arrive Bris. 5.10 pm. Get through the airport/immigration hassles I might get the mile or so to the 'GARAGE ADDRESS' catch up with the lovely lady "Gwen" catch up with the mail that can only be sent to the "GARAGE ADDRESS" might have the red tape etc sorted by midnight. Next day get the Registration renewal sorted out along with the red tape I haven't allowed for and, allow a day for that along with restocking etc
At least with Ken Tame & Assoc got the Insc done.
Get the messy stuff tidied up head North & catch up with Rosscoe. A few holes to drill some talking to be done & some fittings fitted, I will head west a bit when I can. Take the best route SW or so avoiding busy messy places I hope to be in Saint George four days after leaving home.
See you there.

Hi Russnic,
6am departure from Wellington seven days per week. Why are you going via Auckland ? You could go Christchurch or Wellington or even Queenstown - Christchurch - Gold Coast.

Unless you left your bookings to late - school holidays ! :-))

Found some time to reply.
I have been working on getting over there before the flies get to thick and the temperature gets too uncomfortable, I have to change my bookings three times now, originally Ingill ChCh Bris. and trying to keep the price to change on a par is the reason I am going out from Auk. it is not by choice but at least I will get there on the same day.
In a few weeks time when the snow is gone you will be able to fly from Queenstown to Brisbane for around half the price of flying to ChCh. from here.
Competition is a good thing at times.

Gone Bush thats your rego. Whats the other halfs?

"HONEYBUN" hahahahahahahahahaha
Lucky ya not a pirate Bushy LOL "Captain HONEYBUN" would've thrown the fear of god into all them there varmints yer'd have plundered. LOL LOL.

Cheers mate, enjoy the new Bushtracker.

goodday GB
which way are you heading after picking up the van
after st george we are going to lightning ridge for a week or so then heading out towards yowah quilpie and those areas

steve

Just a thought Steve, don't know which way you're going to St.George, but if your going anywhere near Coonabarabran you are welcome to stay on our bush block on the Newell Highway.

Anthony,

you're right GONE BUSH is my rego. It's on the trayback. HONEY BUN is Mrs Bush's rego on her 200 Series which she has kndly allowed me to put in front of the new BT. I can see the less powerful (but more useful) trayback being consigned to the sales yard when we get home.

Steve,

we intend to do all the touristy things in QLD since we haven't been north of the Sunshine Coast before. We'll go up the coast and down through the inland areas then into the New England district of NSW on the way home. Over about 2 months I reckon.

Gone Bush, like I offered Steve, if you are visiting the North West Slopes and Plains, feel free to use our bush camp, out of Coonabarabran for the Warrumbungles, Pilliga Scrub , Narrabri etc.

Thanks Fred, that's very kind of you.

I'll certainly look at that on our trip home.

thanks

thank you fred for the offer i may be in touch will have a look at travel plans

steve

Barry,

The prize will be 1 can of cockroach spray to use if they meet up with you hahahahahahahaha

Barry. Captain "HONEYBUN" would have beat ya mate, if he were going. LOL.

I wonder if the "Flag" is making an appearance this year? LOL

Hi Fred,

Will you be at your 'Bush Block' after St George ? We will be heading down that way and on to have a look around the Snowy Mountains when we leave St George.

KK

KK I won't be at St. George, as I will be in Southern NSW. I won't be at Coonabarabran, but you're welcome to use it. Send MM and I will give you details if you want to plan it in. Lots to see and do in the District.

Fred.

John,

I'll still be in Calliope on Wednesday next week.

I have just been down to the Calliope River to see Member Scrubby who is in the area slowly making his way to St George for the Gathering.
I think will be to longest travelled as he started in Bendigo in May and has been up to Darwin and Cairns.

See you next week

Cheers Kev

John

If you need a place to park whilst in Townsville I can help you out.

I've got a new D-MAX due for delivery sometime around the EOM ex Brisbane. Still tossing up if we will have to go St George then Brissy. Love to have the new vehicle for the gathering of "the Clan" LOL.

Malcolm

Hi Malcolm,

I've sent you an MM.

John
