I had to do a post thanking Mr XXXX for his assistance on the trip. The encouragement and support was incredible. There were times when I thought gee things were getting tough but after XXXX had a word with me I was keen and ready for action. The trouble was I needed motivation all the time !!! Sometimes even at 10.00 in the morning until I went to bed.
There were alot of XXXX's cousins on the trip also and they provided plenty of inspiration....sometimes too much but it was good to get a different opinion now and then !!! But on a whole I would say we could not have done this trip without them all !!! :cheers:
I know I am not alone in thanking Mr XXXX and his cousins and you will be the first on my list next trip. In fact I will bring as many of Mr XXXX 's family as possible !!!!

I started the trip with Mr XXXX and 209 of his closest family members, each and every one of them was kind, considerate and friendly, it was a shame to see them go the way they did. RIP my XXXX friends.

I was not with you guys but Mr XXXX and I developed a special bond back in the 1979 beer strike and have been close ever since. It al started by accompanying a mate who worked in a pub down to the local hardware store to buy a couple of funnels and 2 bottle openers and then locking ourselves behind locked doors of the pubs storeroom surrounded by cartons of tallies filled with Mr XXXX's great amber fluid and a couple of empty kegs before the disco on Friday night :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:
We did not spill much!
Once the strike was over, Mr XXXX rewarded us with cartons of so called "champagne beer" that got its name from the weeks of extra enforced maturation time in the vats. The end result was a brew of such outstanding quality, it has never been repeated. I do in fact recall emptying the first stubby of this brew on a hot day by the time we got to the first gate to open which was 200m from where we started!
Try that with some of those imposters from the southern states!
Yes Mr XXXX has always been there for me through life's ups and downs, In times of sorrow, in times of celebration and sometimes even to cure a hangover in the morning!

Just a quick question?
How many cartons did you all take to the cape as I might need to stock up for next year. My next door nieghbour and I knock off a 30 pack of Gold most friday afternoons/evenings.
Cheers Rod.... 8) :cheers:

I don't consider myself a big drinker.....BUT ..............I went through 6 cartons of Crownies and a bottle of American Honey in 2 weeks, and ran out :'( . If you are a big drinker you may have to leave the spare tyre at home to make more room. Normal beer brands are about $65 at Bamaga so help is at hand.
The good staff at Punsand Bay would sell me a carton of Crownies but it was at $7.00 per stubby = $168.00 for a box, holidays or not that just wasn't gunna happen.
Any and all alcohol consumed is for hydration purposes only, not pure enjoyment as some may think. >:D
