Bumped into Jonathon at the Mareeba Markets on Saturday morning. He is staying at the showgrounds at Mareeba for a while. We were camped at Walkamin, just down the road towards Atherton for the long weekend.
I couldn't help but put in a plug for Collingwood and Ian looks like he swallowed a fly!
Had a great weekend though and it was good to see Jon again.
what wonderful Colour combination that lovely lady has

It certainly was great to catch up with you again, Pauline and Ian .. just on about 12 months since we last crossed paths ..
.. and it doesn't stop there .. the Pale Bushman (Dave) has made his presence known and have also met his partner Jenny ..
.. last but not least, I was fortunate to meet to meet "shaker" (Phil) and his partner Anne. A more recent member to our group. Gotta laugh though .. we three went off for coffee on our bikes .. they travelled on their big 1400cc while yours-truly putted along behind them on his little 150cc scooter ..
He was lucky I didn't wear me colours ! .. heh

(Pauline .. had to add how much I hate photos .. Gee !)
