Camped at Copeton Dam (Eastern Shore) - near Inverell NSW - Yeoeleven (John) for those that know him - you can imagine how excited he was when this was on his line.

Id love to chat with those who live on the road. Id love to hear your stories, the good and the bad, where you are and what you are doing and I guess just live vicariously through you until our time comes.
