if there is anyone around the mount gambier region over the next couple of weeks, let me know. Would love to catch up for a drink, cuppa, morning tea, lunch, and some laughs. Am "home" for a couple of weeks. I will be in need of a GN fix.

Gooday fellow life enjoyers, we want to do the dam run in southern QLD next year and I was trying to work out a plan on a map, has anyone got any tips and ideas? We usually just blunder along and work out a plan as we go but this time I was going to be really organised, Ha

On a recent trip up the West Coast I noticed how quiet the Traffic was on the U.H.F.C.B. Radio. In fact , there was nothing to speak of in the whole two thousand K.P's we travelled , even the truckies were dead quiet, the only talking we heard was an escort vehicle somewhere on the highway using that dead...
