Hi Jon ,
Your out there thats the main thing.
A mate of mine & his daughter run the local news paper at Albury.Has done for many years.

We used to work together in the entertainment industry many years ago.
We had a four peice band & worked all the club scenes in this area.

The good old days.

Hello Jim ..
                    Its still seems to pervade some of the old characteristics .. Folks I've linked up with here still proudly display the old attitude of personal service which is something thats simply disappeared from the todays etticat .. (sorry about the spelling . doesnt look right ..)

Mate ,We come from the old school ,we don't change.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Our spelling is closer than you see today.

Good on you Jon, pleased to see you having a ball.

.. ta Linda !

Stay of those expressways Jon, can't 'smell the roses' at that speed. Johnw

get out of there quick smart, and come over to some good country before the heat starts, wild flowers are still out and things are still green, the gums are flowering and galahs breeding everywhere best I've seen the country for years

I'm just plain jealous. Is that EttiCat a variation on the HobieCat ? ;) Happy Travels, whatever. :)

.. thanks for the comments folks ..

I think etticat is a cross breed ..

Will be in Adelaide in Dec .. but not travelling north just yet, Dave  ..

It seems I'll be around here 'til at least NEXT Thursday to get some alum welding done .. so will play GN Tourist for a while ..

its all good !

If you are just going to come on here and try to turn us all green with envy........you can leave right now because you are succeeding !!! Good stuff Jon..........the dream finally becomes reality. Enjoy Mate Ducky!!

sorry Disco .. I'm so happy I could just ...t! oops ..
Thought it best I make it a little more low profile .. hehe !

Just as well you got the model with the port-a-loo then.............hehehehe And you know that while you are doing THAT, you are alive!! Onya Jon!!

G'day there Drongo (an' Wenny of course) ..

yeah, I know about the Adelaide water after living there for some time .. but Dave hasn't got that prob .. they just don't have any water .. poor buggers !

Actually, I've got some time to fill in. Up until next Thursday when I have to be back here in Wodonga.
I've decided to head back aways to Culcairn to see if I can get space in a CP there for the next week. They also have a bowling green and I do love my bowls but haven't played in about 8 weeks .. so I'm starting to stress out ! tee hee ! hehe!
I don't want to get caught without being in a CP over the 'race' weekend, but will identify Myrtleford for consideration ..
 

we have plenty of water, I dont know what you're talking about, last time it rained (about 1972 I think) I saved a 20 litre bucket and I still have half left, we're a frugal lot over here victoria is a nice enough spot if you like that type of thing, the only problem is that it contains bloody victorians starting to warm up over here so the wildflowers will soon be gone and the green will turn to brown then dust, 32 here today and expecting in excess of 36 on sunday, all I can say is thank the lord for air conditioned cabs, warm nights so around the clock reaping we have had a little bit of rain here lately our season has been reasonably kind, crops are fair to good, better that the average of the last ten years, eyre peninsula copped the storms and ruined their hope of a good year adelaides reservoirs are overflowing so that may ease the burden on the murray for a little bit never mind we still get up in the morning, always a good sign of life!

Hi Jon.We have just arrived back from the Echuca area.Never spent any time in Vic before but I certainly had an eye opener with it's greenery and vineyards.We free camped along the River Murray at Deepcreek about 18 klms from Moama.Perfect bliss,not another human around,plenty of birds,fish,no mossies and only flies until dusk then they nicked off.We will certainly be back down that way.Cheers.Ibbo.

Hi Terro.Yep we found Deepcreek.It is 18 orso klms from Moana.It is a Marina,Pub,Grocery Store etc.I guess that it is mainly a marina for 90 or so Houseboats/gin Palaces on water.LOL.We found it to be very quiet and pleasurable.All very modern and well kept.Terro,the main aim of the exercise was to to take "photos..............flat bloody batteries in the camera.I do have some photos that you may like to see but I will not post them on line just yet.Cheers.Ibbo.

Hi all ..

Dave .. the last one I said that about told me they were frugal too .. recycled actually .. will let thet rest .. hehe

I'm camping at NUG NUG .. about 13 k's south of Myrtleford .. and it has no comms .. will be leaving there next thursday morning early to go back to Wodonga ..

Til then I will see no mail etc .. catch you all later !

Wow John! From a nervous nelly at the beginning, to a competent and adept happy camper. I bet you're now glad you made the decision to do this. Good for you. Enjoy yourself am who knows, we may cross paths somewhere. Take care.

Hi folks and thanks for the messages .. just an update !
