Hi Jimbo,

 I live at Gin Gin.  If you want to call in just PM me and I'll give directions. I'm just off the highway (you can see it from my place). I'm usually home from Thurs to Sun

Cheers,

Jack

Jimbo, you got that wrong. There is always a row of campervans and caravans at Apple Tree Creek. I've stayed there myself not long ago. I haven't stayed or been to Gin Gin but jack mac should be able to say if that is right. Have friends who have stayed there though.

Sorry to have missed you Jimbo, would have been good to have caught up again.

Thats ok Jimbo. I'm off into Bundy tomorrow, thought I would camp there the night on the way through and have a good old chinwag with you. Never mind, I will go straight through to Bundy and stay a night or two in there.

Pleasure to meet you Jimbo. By the way the dog's only 31/2 and female. Her colouring just makes her look old.

I should have remembered that. My neighbour back in Echuca had a Gypsy too. I knew it was a familiar name.

check out the memorial of the backpackers, sad but really well done. the twins that died were from Lake Grace in w.a. ask about the story of them all while you are there.
also you have to check out the bird park just north of town, the reptile farm is aslo a muct and also a town called Sandgate i think it is called.directly east on the coast. qld's best kept secret.
