Mick is home from Bundaberg and on his way, between gympie and Brisbane he counted 124 caravans, campers and motorhomes heading north. It just made us stop to think how many of us like minded people there are out there. And I must admit, a tinge of jelousy that we are not able to join them yet! But our turn...

I own one of the all-time gas/petrol guzzlers of all time; a 4litre Landcruiser station wagon with an automatic gearbox. City consumption in the 25lt/100km bracket.

Thanks everyone for your kind thoughts. I have to wait for a couple of weeks for the results. The test seemed to go fine, the hospital staff were wonderful, the food was typical. So it's back to Cairns tomorrow after enjoying the hospitality of the "Cupies". Cheers Chris
