Hey Jon

I love Wa its an amazing place.. I only got as far up north as Exmouth but have seen all the rest :) I have really enjoyed it but time to move on again.. House Sit on KI Sa then home for a visit.. Then maybe going in convoy with some friends up the Centre of Aus winter next year, which should be good..

Enjoy the rest of your travels and take care :)

Hi Colleen,

Any chance you will be able to make the get together at Cannington (Fast Eddy's) on the 23rd or will you be too far away? (see get togethers).

No relation to Len?

Thanks for the heads up Jon, you forgot to tell Colleen about my transformation when it's a full moon wink

The Nullabor is quite safe Colleen, just check the roadside stops out for other RV users staying overnight and you will be fine, most have parked up by around 4PM or earlier.....safety in numbers.....avoid any place that doesn't have anyone already parked there.

Lets know on get togethers whether you will be able to attend Fast Eddy's/Slow Wombats..... wink biggrin

Thanks for your comment and tips.. Thanks Jon for the heads up..

23rd of what? Dec?

Im hoping to be on Kangaroo Island by then.. I found the Nullarbor to be fine when i came across last time and Jon was nice to meet me and have a break and cuppa..

Crossing the Nullarbor is a piece of cake these days no dirt road, sit back and enjoy the ride.

No relation to Len..

I did meet a Lenny in Wa and he was in a big bus with his wife travelling. They are from Castlemaine in Vic.. I saw them at a rest area as i ran out of fuel between Kalbarrie and Monkey Mia.. I was so thankful he drove me and a friend 70 odd kms to get fuel and back again.. I will always be grateful for that :) I was lucky to meet such nice people..

It is surprising just how many nice people one meets on the road these days, as with lenny nothing is too much trouble.

Hi Colleen, details are in the get together thread, 23rd of this month, let me know on that thread if you are able to go before you take off, these are the details;

.................................................................................

So here it is folks, with Tezza's blessing, hope most can make it on that day if possible.

I have booked a table but need to confirm the numbers for joining tables etc before the day, so if you think you can make it let me know by a post here or by pm so I have an idea of how big a table we need.

Everyone orders and pays individually when leaving. As arrival times may be staggered, suggest it is better to order when you are ready to eat rather than wait for everyone to arrive, also easier for the staff at the restaurant if it is staggered.

So;

"Fast Eddy's Carousel Cannington (On Albany Highway, in Westfield Shopping Centre).

Lunch between 11AM and 3PM

Wednesday 23rd November 2011

http://www.fasteddyscafes.com/location.htm

Note: The menu is revised regularly, so you may have to ring them if you want to know exactly what is available on the day, but there will be plenty of choices irrespective so probably not warranted.

Post or pm Vic if you are coming or intend to,

Thanks

..........................................................

Regards Lenny Scrase, I knew one from Hervey Bay, Queensland, he was ex RAAF.

Colleen4884 · Veteran Member

Thanks for the invite Vic but i wouldnt have left Bunbury yet.. So cant make it..

Where is Lenny. Scrase from?.. As its a very unusual name Scrase not many people have it..

Vic · Guru

Sorry you can't make it Colleen, maybe another time.

I first met Lenny in NSW when he was serving there. He was also "moonlighting" as a bouncer at the Pink Pussycat at Kings X.

He looked a bit like Jack Palance, he later went to Vietnam and his first marriage broke up. I just happened to be in a cafe at Hervey Bay when he walked in, said he was re-married and was working locally as a hospital orderley. Don't know much more than that.

Colleen4884 · Veteran Member

Yes it would be great to meet other travellers..
Thanks :) Theres not many of us Scrase's around.. Thats very interesting, my nan when she was younger was a Nurse and i am also a Nurse.. It must run in the family lol.. I might have to find out if he is related somehow or not..

Vic · Guru

He is the only Scrase I have known (other than yourself), so don't come across too many.

Hope you find someone going the same way for your trip over around the same time. smile

Colleen4884 · Veteran Member

Yes Scrase ive never known any others except for my family.. Its an English name as my Dad was born Essex in England..

Thanks :) Id like too but im sure i will be fine if i dont.. Least this time i know what its like and what to expect..

Vic · Guru

I'm sure you will be fine, just look out for Wombat holes at rest stops, I believe a certain Wombat has been over that road several times looking for Wombat Nymphs........ wink biggrin

Colleen4884 · Veteran Member

Im still new at all this but how do you post a pic under your name? I would like to add a pic.. I tried looking where you edit profile etc but just cant seem to find it.. Thanks :)
