Ring the bell to say you've left home !
« on: September 07, 2011, 09:06:29 PM »
Has anyone set sail for the meet yet? Or can we be the first and wear the leader's jersey...  ;D

Car and camper is all packed and sitting idle ready for pre dawn departure in the morning. We are head round the long way in convoy of 4 vehicles via Dalby (swagmail collection), Longreach, Boulia, Plenty Hwy to Alice, Finke Gorge NP, Kings Canyon, Uluru and Olgas, Mt Dare/Dalhousie, Oodnadatta, Coober Pedy, William Creek, Lyndhurst, Flinders Ranges and arriving at the meet on Saturday 1 Oct.

Plenty to see on the way and looking forward to it all and catching up with everyone at the meet.

See you there and safe travels for us and all of you.

Cheers,  :cheers:

Starhip HEM is currently docked in Wentworth...bugger me but spotted NAV04 going the other way & long story short, we are camped together at the junction of the Murray/Darling sucking on a few coldies.

Long way to travel to meet up with with people who live just up the road.
