Suppose this should have gone on Milos weather thread, as that was the memory stirrer
At Mallacoota parked side on to the sea , that is on the south east heading, 
The wind picked up the annexe of the fella next door and blew it several vans back
, you learn not to put out the canvas on days like that, the van was rocking a bit,
considered moving it to face on the wind but too damn lazy

beware the onshore wind

frustrated.gifThe driving wind and rain over here, just South of Geraldton, is pretty fierce too.
So much so, that we have decided to give the South West corner of WA a miss this time around, and head back East via the Nullabor to meet you two lovebirds in the orchards, before heading back up to Bundaberg to have a beautiful new door fitted to our motor-home. Nothing particularly wrong with this Toyota folding one, but my Queen has fallen in love with a 'Bundaberg Triple Lock, Combination Door' that we have seen on few other rigs, which will provide further storage space too.


chew.gif Shame really, as we were both looking forward to that pretty corner of WA.
Most of the local folk have told us that March/April is a far better time do see that part of WA, so we have had to re-schedule our 2010 trips accordingly.

the young fella is refering to a song by Kris Krisstoffson about a driver who;s call sign on the CB was the Rubber Ducky, seems he got an unfair fine from the local bears (pollce) and all the semitrailer in America banneded together to blockade a town,
A very stirring song, and an good movie,

yep still does, red sovine I beleive, lotsa goodys around that time and all highly memorable

I couldnt tell you any of the faces on the idiot box or name any popular series but ask me to name a song or an artist from the seventies onwards and I will have the answer,

always got either the cd player or radio on in the background, another leftover from my folks, forever gratefull to them for putting music in my life

for those not familiar with "teddy bear" here it is, get your tissues out!!!!!!
