Anybody in the Toowoomba area towards the end of next week give a yell.  Travel Bug and I will be there and if you are going to be around let either of us know what day and we will organise things accordingly.

I could go up. I had made arrangements to go to Boonah to see Jules, but maybe she'd like to come up too.

Toowoomba's 'just up the range' from me.

No, it's actually about 1 1/2 to 2 hours for me, but I'm a regular visitor to Twmba, distance doesn't bother me.

When you travel around as much as us nomads do distance isn't a big factor is it.

biggrinYep I will be there Ma - will be good to put a "face" to the name - just need to get a time and place - I have suggested visitors centre in Toowoomba - but if you are going to be in Clifton, that is ok by me - probably about the same timewise for me anyway - possibly a bit further for Beth - anyway, have pencilled the date 1st September (Thursday next week) in my diary - will not make any other plans for that day - the more the merrier is my motto!!

I'm sure we will work it out Jules.   I will ring Pam about mid week and let her know where we are and then perhaps she can ring you.

Fine by me Elaine. I Google mapped,,,2hrs 20 minutes from my place, and my route will take me through Grantham.

I haven't been out to Grantham since the terrible flood disaster, so that'll be interesting, in a sad way.

As I was flitting around reading GN posts, unbeknowst,,,is that even a word or did I just make it up?,,, to me, my ex husband was trying to chat to me through gmail. That was weird. By the time I realized, he was gone.

Oh, well Beth, he will get back to you if it is important, I am sure. I think it is spelt "unbeknownst" - sort of a Shakesperean type word - that is if it is indeed a proper word.

unbeknownst

1848, vulgar formation from unbeknown (1636). No clear reason for the -st, but since 19c. this has become the dominant form.

Okay, so I'm using vulgar language.

It's along the Tully-Hull Road, NQ.

 We are in Warialda and heading slowly north to Nanango for the country music festival first week in September, so I guess we wont be too far away, will give you a shout when we get closer - Jim is heading south west from here
