Enjoy your Tasmanian adventure, Don't forget I want a full and comprehensive technical report on the ABT Railway..... Don't forget that if you go to Strachan you can get Huon Pine offcuts at the saw mill for DIY souvenirs, just check too if there is still a pile of XL sized mens clothes near the "offcuts" bin they are probably mine as I threw out my clothes to fill my suitcase with Huon..........

thanks Basil! looking forward to it, and I dare say quite a few will be glad I'm gone as well

ah!! but the dragon has forbidden me to bring any offcuts back,  worse luck, 

and yes I must admit i am really looking forward to boarding the little puffer, thats why I upgraded to premier class so we could stand on the rear platform and have a full 180 degree view, with glass in hand

oh and the free white wine and nibbles and bottomless coffee cup, doesnt hurt either

and O.K. I'll look for your clothes but I'm telling you here and now the undies stay behind................

well 8 o'clock here in noddy land,  time for all us little boys and girls to go home and do some more packing, 

so it's oorroo for now and I will catch you all in 14 days, 

you could at least save the cheering till I'm gone!!!
