GNs planning a trip to northern WA, and who like a tipple: take supplies with you. All takeaway sales were banned in Carnarvon on Friday for two Aboriginal funerals. The ban may be lifted today, but who knows? And Roebourne council is voting today on a possible total and permanent ban on all alchohol sa...

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...

Arrived in Karumba yesterday and have never seen so many vans in the one place. I don't think there are any victorians left at home, they are all here.

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. But, hey, who cares at 39.5 cents a litre (with supermarket docket). Filling the 140lt petrol tank instantly doubles the market val...

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
