Well the time has come to drag the van out of it's resting place, begin the pretrip checks and get ready to roll.

Taking a wander up to the Gold Coast to finally use our tickets for the Outback Spectacular, you may remember it was on the cards awhile ago but the Mrs got crook, but alls stable at the moment, we're booked to see the show on Sept 30th, hit the track on Sunday 24th.

Looking forward to it with anticipation, and Mrs G... wink

Hope you both have a great time Gubby, just hope I don't have to send you an urgent call if "you know who" is playing up while you're away.

Speaking of which, he's been very quiet, hope he's OK 2......

Do you think the Ford will make it?

Didn't I just read somewhere that Falcons are "obsolete."

We hope you both have a fantastic time and if you should need a tow, you have our number.

Safe travels and best of health to you both.

Thank You to all the well wishers and we do intend to enjoy ouselves, just chomping at the bit to get going...  aww

HW we'll see how we're travelling on the way back we might come through Echuca.

Vic it's only for a fortnight and we'll have the laptops with us so as to monitor the situation and keep in touch.

Elle, we have tickets to see the Outback Spectacular on Sept 30th at the Gold Coast, it's between "Movie World" and one of the water theme parks. Due to three grandkids having a B'day party on Sept 24th at Gumbayah Pk. out past Pakenham in Vic. we'll be leaving home (near Ballarat Vic) on Sunday Sept 25th and taking a leisurely drive with free camping up to the GC.

We'll stay up their for a few days and stroll home, I need to be back for Oct 10th (colonoscopy on the 11th, Oh Joy)

Dusty, Falcons Obsolete????? you've been listening to someone with a very vivid imagination....    We're going to give the one-tonner a run, see how it goes towing on gas.

Jules, will be in contact but it sounds like a plan, already contacted Beth and she said about organising a little get together...

Wombat you be a verry verry good liddle Wombat now and watch out for those mysterious Camel Jockeys, (One hump or Two?)......

Gubby,the weather is nice up here at the moment. You should enjoy the climate. September is a great time of the year in SEQ. Do you know where you are staying? I'll be in that region around that time - we may be able to catch up.

We looked around a few others this one seemed to be reasonably priced and close to where we wanted to be.

The problem is it being the last weekend of the Qld school holidays a lot of them are up to $42 a powered site, Jacob's Well $33..

There's a very nice pub at Jacobs Well, where we could meet for a cuppa Gubby, Jules, Travel Bug and anyone else in the area who wants to join us. Whatever day suits you Gubby and Mrs Gubby.

Hi Beth...and Gubby....

Sounds good!! I would love to go along if it's on a day that I can make it.
Unfortunately, I have some (unbreakable) commitments over the next few weeks...but I will certainly be there if I can.

Safe and happy travels Mr and Mrs Gubby smile

Hope to see you all on "the day".

Cheers.
