A Very Big Thank you to the EO Team

Agree with everything you and Stephen say Graham.

BTW the History lesson is from the old Guru, Doug T, up there in tropical Adelaide River.

Hi Graham and Fred

Thanks for those great words. I hope Michelle reads this, as she will know what I mean.

It is not just me, it is a joint team affair, with so many great member that are a wealth of knowledge, and I would not be game to mention the many contributors, as knowing me I would miss someone out and I do not wish to offend anyone.

All the Best for 2013


Cheers



Stephen

Oops. must have been too much Christmas cheer, did mean Doug T but anyway you too would be included in the other positive contributers Fred and as Stephen said too many to name individually.
Have a great new year.
Cheers
Graham

Good on you Greendog.

Stephen's expressed what we all think I'm sure but it doesn't matter if we live on the road, dream about it or anything in between, this is a brilliant site for any info regarding travelling in Australia.

The experience of the contributors plus the skills of the people that run the site works together really well.

Thank you all and I'm busting to get into the New Year,

Hoo roo,

Hi Peter

Yes indeed, I would rate this as "The Best" and there are few sites that have such a following.

I have something up my sleeve for around early May. I would like to get to about 100 kilometres to the east of where we camped. If you are interested, send my an email and I will give you the details. My email is in my profile.


All the Best for 2013


Cheers


Stephen

Hi Stephen how long do you think you would be away for cheers.Peter

Hi Pete

I would only take a week off. After doing my Blog about the recovery of Burke and Wills remains, I would like to get out on station tracks to Lake Hope and try and find the old ruins out there.

I do not know anyone else that has been out there. I have not asked Jason yet, but when I was speaking with him last, he asked when was I heading up that way again. He said that there are still many big waterhole along the Cooper, but he said that within another couple of years, they will be all dried up.

I think it would be great to set up camp by the water and just take it all in again.

If you need to give me a call at home....88423662

Stephen

Ok thanks Stephen I'll let you know some thing in the new year,have a great New Years .cheers Pete

I feel like I'm eaves dropping on an intimate conversation, but it's interesting.

I'm planning a trip out towards the Cooper with my Brother in Law and his Dad. They're originally from Uraguay. Everytime I show the old fella our photos he wants to go otu there, so we're planning a trip for him while he can.

It's going to be interesting seeing it through his eyes,

Steve

Hi Steve

The Cooper is great and it was even better when it crossed the Birdsville Track. Like I said above, when I was doing research for my Blog and from other details that I have Lake Hope east of the Birdsville Track was one destination that is overlooked by everyone.

There are a couple of extra little things that I hope to see as well out there and it is only a small affair trip. We are only going as far as the Cooper Crossing on the Birdsville Track and then station track.

All the Best for 2013.


Cheers



Stephen

G'day Stephen,

I've crossed The Cooper a few times in the last couple of years and it's looking great at the moment. It's about a 20 hour drive for us to get to out near Innamincka or Windorah, so it's not too hard to do, it just costs money.

I'm keen to get the old bloke out thereand get him a feed of yabbies.

All the best for 2013 and thnk you for all your contributions this year. I look forward to reading your stories, opinions and advice in the future.

Hoo roo,
Steve

Nice van Heather. Santa was good to you :-)

Look forward to your trip blogs of your travels in it.

Have a great 2013, and that goes for everyone.

Fred.

Hi Heather

You are one such person that puts a lot of effort and time into your great blogs and they are always a pleasure to read.

I bet the end of the school holidays will not come quick enough so you can try your new van out, I bet it is a beauty.

All the Best for 2013.


Cheers

Stephen

ps

Same with you Fred, all the Very Best for 2013.

Gee thanks Stephen and Fred,

Yes the next trip can't come fast enough...but the NSW coast is chaotic for the next few weeks with tourists and we will wait until the madness subsides before going anywhere.

We are going to use the time to do some under van protection to plumbing, order a stone stomper and get a dash monitor in the 4WD for the van break safe system installed, as per the new NSW rules, and a few other bits and pieces too
.
cheers Heather

Hi Bob

Like you, I have gained a lot from questions asked and answered by members and there is always something new to learn about.

The best part about this great site, is that like minded people with a common interest share this site and it was through email contact with one EO Member (Leigh) that I was finally after many years able to get to Maralinga, and in turn met and travelled with 3 EO members that I had never met before and we all had a ball.

I know that 2013 will be no different and on one trip planned already, I have 2 EO Member coming along, all with a common love...our great Outback and desert travels.


Take Care and all the Best for 2013.


Cheers


Stephen

Hi Val

You are 100% right about a daily companion. The EO Forum Page is my home page and it is the first thing I do every morning, and then a number of times during the day and then quite some time every night.

And credit must also go to you and John for your fantastic Blog.


Al the Very Best to you and John for 2013.


Cheers'


Stephen

Hi Mary

Yes, this is a top site and like any type of organisation, its members are the ones that will make or brake it and the members on here are a fantastic group of people.


Cheers


Stephen
