The last couple of weeks have been really great, had enough EO Members call in we could have had a Members Gathering here at Mt Bundy.
Then weekend before last Noel K was down here again so we went to Fenton looking for a particular B-24 Crash site,also had a lady from WA camping here for 3 weeks so she came along too, we done a lot of walking but as usual no luck in finding the site.

Then last Friday week I got to drive the Ladies Motorhome to Darwin, when I got in the drivers seat I noticed it had 6 gears, I said yeh it's a 6 speed, she what do you mean, after I told her she said "damn I didn't know that, I drove it all the way from Perth in 5th" ....GASP
It's a Ford Transit with a KEA Body, very neat inside, and drives great with heaps of power from the Turbo Diesel...in 6th.
While in Darwin we went down to the wharf for lunch, really top spot there and most relaxing. Got a chance to see the Endeavor when it was berthed at Darwin, I was amazed at the amount of ropes on the masts.

During the week I took her over to Snake Creek, I found an old hot rod , damn thing wouldn't start though, then we went back over to Fenton and did find the site I been looking for for nearly 2 years, all in all it's been a great 3 weeks , had friends from Canberra here for 6 weeks, they are now at Pimba, the Perth Lady headed out on Monday for Tassie....but ummm she's coming back here next week, she got as far as Alice Springs....She'll be here for the Wet Season...SMILE.....
