Great excitement in the Gnome cave today.Notification that the B&B Unit will be delivered on Thursday. Should begin the adventure in about two weeks,after collecting the van from Hexam (near Newcastle) then back home to sort out the rego.&  installation of the monitor in the truck,for the van reversing camera. Plus whatever else needs sorting.No real plans, just north to escape the rest of the A.C.T. winter.(sorry Basil)

so who will be wetting the bed wednesday night then HMmmm!! surely you would be praying for an earlier release date than thursday living in canberra, even the crims get to go to warmer climes do gnomes have caves???, I thought they lived under mushrooms

No mushrooms in A.C.T. in the winter.('cept for maybe a few pollies who didn't get out of town before the big freeze)

hi greg.          you sound as excited as i would be, as you get ready to take off.        good luck with all the rego officers,  margaret and i wish you a good trip to where ever you head for and hope we will meet up on the track some where.

Thanks Ken, been a long wait since we ordered the van 25th April at the Sydney Show.Had a canopy fitted to the Ranger by ARB,great extra lockable storage.Heading your way first up.Staying for a week with sister in law at Slacks Creek.Then off towards Mt. Isa,have to be back home by 20th Sept.for Carolyns next check up.

You won't be sorry about the canopy Gnome. Did you get the sliding window variety or the lift up windows?  We got the lift up style gives a bit more access to the back of the tray. The only thing we have found with ours is that the locks can be a bit dicky from time to time.  Money well spent in our opinion.

 

Hope you have a great time and think of us in the cold guys.

Drive carefully, the road to the west is chockers,

Greg, its a long way from Slacks Creek to the Isa, so you had better have a break in Sapphire on the way mate, at least a cuppa,

Thanks to you Mike & Judy.We will add Sapphire as a must stop.

Do you need to get a new van to wet the bed Dave?

I thought Grey Nomads had an automatic qualification

at my age i dont need an excuse to wet the bed but a new van would help, jeez another avatar, how the hell do you expect me to keep up, what happened to the little feller in the pool on that big blow up floaty thing! LOL!

Did you prefer that one?? I'm sort of playing around at the moment........ Which one do I use??
