Hi All

We've got no free weekends until Xmas now, but there's no reason not to catch up. I propose meeting up for a drink and a meal at the
Ettamogah Hotel in Rouse Hill.

Plus, we need to start planning some more trips for early next year.

So, anyone keen? Date is a bit flexible, bring your families, nice food, plenty of space and extensive play area for kids.

The one near Albury is the original at the place called Ettamogah - where the comic book was set. The bloke who wrote the comic strips was a copper down that way for many years apparently.

They built that one to look like it was drawn, I think the rest are all a franchise or something taken from there.

All welcome.

If you haven't met anyone from the forum, this is a great opportunity to introduce yourself, get involved in planning for trips in January and beyond, or sooner if you're keen.

Ettamogah pub  , no such thing actually existed at the area known as Ettamogah which had only a shop with a petrol bowser out front , was an area roughly 1/2 way [5miles] between the old Albury abattoirs which is now the site of the new Base Hospital and the Hume Weir . The pub designs came from the cartoons drawn by the police sgt stationed out that way published in the Post magazine in the 60's ,most of the cartoon characters were taken from real identities living in Albury and surrounds , the barber + barber shop was in Lavington ,can remember getting the short back and sides every 4th Saturday morning for the princely sum of 6 pence prior to Feb 66 and 10 cents there after.

Seems like I should franchise this meet, there's more interest interstate so far.

Ah, erm, cough. 

My team Xmas party was rescheduled due to poor weather so I am now not able to make it.

I hope there is enough interest for this to go ahead anyway, as we need to get some trips on the board for early next year.
