Lovely will be working for a couple of days between Christmas & New year.
We might be able to sneak away to a mates bush block near Ballarat for a couple of nights.
That's about the best we can hope for....

Nowhere!

Had to go down to Coolie yesterday to pick up my camera after being serviced, the day that the borders re-opened.

Jeez, the terrorists took no time at all to return! :'(

The roads are already chockers with people driving at 25 in a 40 zone, & 60 on the 80k main road :'( >:(

Welcome back to a GC summer :'(

Hey JC,
             don't  forget to have some 'you' time for looking after your self. Just imagine what 10% of the love and attention you give turning bits of rusty tin into perfect panels would do for your creaking bones.
Cheers

Both of us have work, catch up with Family locally Christmas Day. New Years, no plans, probably spend it with Friends, see some fire works, or a Fire somewhere.
Fysh will be spending 14 days at Brooms Head, I'll drop out there to catchup with her and a few mates.
I owe, I owe, off to work I go.
Travel safe Swaggers, enjoy time with family & ya mates.

Anyone got any plans?
if we are very very lucky...

and if the Getaway is finally finished in time... (that's still in question with a week to go)

we'll be heading down to Gembrook to visit the inlaws.

If the van is finished... then we might do a 3 day return trip and test it out.
