G'day all,
This looks like building into quite a get together, can't wait till Oct. Will be great to meet everyone. If "Uncle Arthur" is let lose, Christ knows what might happen

)Kids still have a chuckle about it .We don't know yet if we will get there Fri PM or Sat AM, depends on work. Best wishes top alll, Bullfrog & crew

In a cruel twist, i will be away out west on the newns date and will only get home the weekend before this one. It might be a bit of a stretch after 4 weeks of sleeping rough to drag the fam out the very next weekend. Ill work on it but im doubtful. Its a shame.
Sorry
Darren

Stop press

Just run it by the crew and they are keen. I'm going to leave all the gear in the car head up i hope..

BigJules · July 05, 2009, 08:44:30 AM

If everyone is able to turn up this is going to be a huge event with 24 adults and 14 kids on the list so far.

Spread the word.

I've got some pommie friends who'll likely come along and tent it with us.

Gunna Do · July 05, 2009, 08:55:38 AM

Wow, might have to turn up early to get a site before all you other Myswaggers take over the joint. Was someone worried earlier about their kids having someone to play with, with 14 kids on the list (so far), I think there will be company for just about every age in the tin lid department. Bigjules you are setting the bar very high with this gathering.

Perhaps Laith may know of somewhere suitable to go for a drive on Saturday to test out the 4bs, or a beach run?

If Pikey and Pommiedic come along your pommie friends will feel right at home.

Jules
that will be 1x 6year old girl, 1x 9 year old girl, a missus and myself.

And a new KK platinum....

Now i am kidding...

Maybe a new pillow in the swag will do.

G'Day
I told the missus about this cunning plan. This trip wil be the next weekend after spending 4 weeks sleeping in swags and tents. Then at this do you will all be there with your fancy campers so it sould be easy to pick one out and then convince her how good it wil be.
Perfect timing i think
Darren

BigJules · July 05, 2009, 05:53:19 PM

Careful what you wish for, she might just think those Kimberley's are exactly what she needs...

Gunna Do · July 05, 2009, 05:57:09 PM

Very sly Darren, but quite a clever ploy. Is your other half a little reluctant to purchase a camper again, or is she easing to the idea. Four weeks in swags and I recon you should be able to get approval for any camper you like.

The local Camp-o-matic sprooker/saleman will be there as well.

BigJules · July 05, 2009, 06:05:24 PM

You'll be lucky if she's not insisting on a time share in Fiji

darren · July 05, 2009, 06:33:02 PM

I'd say if you want to sell you camper it will be gone by saturday

Hi all
Are any of the mob going to Crowdy fisherpeople ?? Does anyone know what the fishin' is like around the Crowdy area??. I'm thinking of smuggling in a rod or ten

, maybe a fish Fri or Sat night /morn. Any takers??

Bevan

Blue Bravo · July 16, 2009, 09:25:24 PM

Good fishing from the beach. also river and and lake fishing around Laurieton

BigJules · July 17, 2009, 09:34:31 AM

I can't seem to get into fishing but my gals enjoy it so we'll chuck in some little rods.

Not sure what it is like on shore, but offshore it is superb. I went fishing off Crowdy Head in April this year and two of us caught our bag limit of flathead in 2 hours.

bullfrog · July 21, 2009, 06:16:53 PM

Howdy all,
Sounds promising on the fishing front, will have to pack some fishing gear. The old woman is into scrap booking, so I can bugger off fishing & leave her with the girls to do "their" stuff

.Had a bit of a fiddl;e with the C/T today, fitted some LED tail lights & had a think about rewiring the 12v system, many cans in the planning will be needed I feel

Bevan

darren · July 21, 2009, 08:06:35 PM

Scrapbooking... oh no not another one.... our missus's will get on famously
Darren

Gunna Do · July 21, 2009, 08:08:00 PM

You can add my daughter to that group. Will she have to book in?

barnray · July 21, 2009, 08:17:31 PM

Have we selected a venue as yet or do we wait for more swaggers

BigJules · July 21, 2009, 08:23:07 PM

We have selected a venue for this trip; Crowd Head.

Gunna Do · July 21, 2009, 08:56:24 PM

Better be more specific Jules, I don't think you can camp at Crowdy Head itself. It may have to be at Diamond Head, Kylies or Indian Head (Crowdy Head National Park). Laith gave Kylies a pretty good wrap.
