Yes Vic the crossing is closed due to some prior flooding.

Getting back to a previous post about Boulder Creek and comments about the small friendly camp that it is, 4 couples who met up at B C are travelling south together. They all met at happy hours and became friends and that is a great recommendation to go and camp at Boulder Creek when travelling north or south. They all rocked in here at Calliope this afternoon and it was like old times at B C.

This is off topic but I'm on the phone so am having problems. I would just like to say that Yeoeleven you are a true inspiration. I have been reading your blog for the last 3 days from the start, currently am halfway through 2013. The fact that you have managed to travel around the block with very little hands on experience in an old hiace & carry on with a never give up attitude. The amount of friends you have made & people you have helped along the way is truly a indication of your character. The fact that you have taken the time to write about your time on the road & the info that is posted in your blog is brilliant. I have never met you but you appear to be a true blue person that I is always willing to help those in need. When the time comes for us to hit the road, I only hope I can come close to doing what you have done. P.S if someone can put this in a post in the correct place I would be very appreciativ.

Woolly, your post is in a good spot - Yeoeleven (John) is an inspiration to young and old, he will be chuffed to read your post. He is one of my very good friends, and I admire his drive and determination, if he wants something, he makes it happen!!!

Did you know Woolly, nearly 4 years ago ,I had to bail John out of the lock up !!Twice!! each time it was for persistently , Mooning the bar maid in a pub at Mannum in south Aussie, I could write a essay about John, but I will tell you this, He is a amazing guy, seems like he has been my friend forever, he is a Nutter ,first class,,, fruit loop, of the first order, !!And!!, his beard is growing faster than mine,,,grrrrrr,, think he has been cutting the hairs off his mothers chest, and gluing them to his short beard, to make it look longer , !!And!! he likes F/male back packers, German, French, stay excited Woolly,,,,,,,,, Billeeeeeee

Well what can I say. Thanks for your comments Woolly, I started the blog just after my first forum post about my 12 month plan and it has just kept on keeping on. If it encourages others to get out on the road then that is a good thing.

Now Billeee never tells porkies or stretches the truth but if anyone on this forum knows me well it is him, we met when we first started out and have been best friends since then.
