Deb & Mol Hey r u guys ever going to come back? Mols 50th at Yamba 3rd May if you are in the area, lots of familiar faces are making the trek up.

Richard Just had a chance to look at your photos and read some of your dairy entries,brought back memories of our travels,the only problem Lee has caught more fish than I did. Continue to enjoy your travels and travel safe, look forward to catching up when you are both in Sydney. My new new Nissen Navara is going great considering I was a Toyota man having driven Hiluxs for all those years.

brooksie The town I mentioned below is TEROWIE (221km north of Adelaide). It's a few hundred metres of the main road and worth a look (lots of historic buildings and the (now) derelict railway station made famous in the newsreels of WW2 when Douglass Macarthur was in town). The town had a pop of 2000 and now about 200. There's a plaque on the wall of the rail building (if it hasn't been nicked)

brooksie your trivia mates and I want to thank you for the Xmas & new year well wishes.....that you didn't send. Hope all's well with you both.....did you get to (surfing mecca) Cactus Beach? Hot tip.......the Oodnadatta track (pick up a highl;ights map before you go).....so much to see it's hard to pick the top spot on the track but try the "hot tub" at the restored Coward Springs (?) rail siding and take the side-track to Peak Telegraph Station. When travelling towards Burra stop off at (I'll get back to you). The town is all but deserted and the railway station is in ruins but this is the spot that Gen. D. McArthur uttered those famous words 'I shall return" in 1942...... Now that's a great piece of trivia xPB

Mick & Lauren Have just spent the last half hour looking at your awesome photos, what a trip! We are back home for Xmas, and have decided to hang around till the end of April due to Loz's sisters wedding in Feb, then Mick going to Kokoda in April.... so just wanted to say you HAVE TO catch up with us if you are coming through Victoria - we live in Sale (look that up on your map!) so there will be a bed for you guys anytime. Would love to see ya again! Loz & Mick xxx

Al Great photos, love the Esperance sunsets. We're getting ready for another Aussie Day at Jindabyne, we'll miss not having you down there this year. I'll see if I catch a trout for you Lee. Carol's bump is getting bigger too. Al & Carol

cheryl Hi guys, looks like you are both having a great time. happy new year. Well we have grown duck feet now as the rain wil not go away we seem to be not able to go in the spa that Trudie and Brad got for Christmas as it has been raining constantly with only a day if we are lucky. On new years day I said to rob it was time to clean that Sneeky Neeka so 3 hours later she is now 3 inches skinny, she looks so nice and she is so happy to come inside right now she is tryign to get a game out of Rob. Oh yes my tractor mower was stuck in the mud in the backyard for a week before they got it out and the girls could not beleive how slippery it was on the flat I think this is the most rain we have had in 20 years of being in Qld. Oh yes Trudie is 30 on the 5th of Feb and she is going to have a Cocktail party so Rob said that he should get a Cocktail dress, could you think of what the birthday girl would think if he did, boy what a sight that would be. cheers Cheryl and Rob

Al Hi guys, happy new year. Back at work now (doh) but not really working as I've just spent the morning getting up to speed on your blog and photos, great work. Era was good, plenty of sun and beer as usual, surf was up so not much fishing - ie. more beer. Missed you both down there though. Carol's doing fine, she's got a little bump starting to show now but I'm still winning on that front. Al and Carol

Fiona Crockett Your making me homesick! great photos of Rotto. We just wanted to wish you a merry christmas and a great new year.

brooksie Hi guys, Just wishing you a great Christmas and New Year. Hope all's well and enjoy yourself in Perth. brooksie & KIm Hot tips! 1. Check out the country's best McCubbin ("down on his luck") in the AG of WA 2. explore the"ghost towns" NW of Perth eg Cue 3. Prepare yourself for the beauty of the SW (absolutley marvellous) 4. Bring back some Jarrah & Karri "firewood" from the campsites in the SW PS 5. I've just got back from a meeting with Waste Service (WSN) freaky! Do you know Chris Northey, Paul Skidmore, Steve Richards and Jane somebody or other?

Bree & Matt Hey Guys! Just had a look at your blog, and wishing we made one of our trip. The photos make me laugh because we have very similar ones, and even some identical!! Can't believe you haven't even made Perth yet. The bottom of WA is absolutely fantastic, I don't think you'll ever make it back to NSW. We have just arrived back in Victoria (at mum & dads), funds running very short and very glad to be out of the trailer! Had to rush through SA a bit to get back for a wedding on the weekend, but no matter. Safe travels, and be sure to let us know when you reach Geelong, so we can catch up. xoxox

Al & Carol Hey guys, so you finally made it to the west coast, how many kms on the speedo now then eh... I'm just sitting at work checking out the blog and photos and I know where I'd rather be. Getting warmer over here now too but not up to 40 thank god. We haven't been up to much, getting a coupla quotes on bits and pieces in the house and got Carol's sisters wedding in a few weeks. Will call you soon now you're back in phone range land. Take it easy (like you're not already), Al & Carol. PS. gonna get a rod for christmas to take on those snowy mountains trout again.
