Talk about itchy feet .. Got to Tamworth Last Year .. well.. it was the 28th Dec 2011.
Lovely visit but 5 weeks sittin' still in populated area is enough .. Heading off on Wednesday to Mudgee .. then back to Macquarie Woods for a while .. peace and solitude again ..
I kin almos' hear dem bells of the forests callin' me home .. gonna have to get 'em to give me a PO box 'cause I love it there ..
.. I'm not doin' too much at the moment now that the CM Festival is over .. sometimes I do even less and have to finish the next day .. or two ..
hmmmmmmmm .. hic!

Can understand your sentiments exactly "Jonnie" don't like cities or big towns either. I much prefer to outback actually.
Haven't stopped at Macquarie Woods YET but have been going past there for many years to visit rellos in Orange. Will take the van next time and spend a couple of days.

Now it's funny you said that, because that is exactly what I did, this is really my van, not a pic off the net
thats cool, brian .. Its my new project too .. a white gate with maybe a small arch above with plastic grapes etc ..
I was thinking maybe just a small sign on the gate saying "CARETAKER" and "Beware of Dog"
I don't know where this could end up eh ! .. another sign could be "GN Registrations" .. the list goes on ..

yep .. a short picket fence sounds ideal .. problem solved .. just put in a small shed for the Ark ..
The gate should read .. " the end is nigh .. book your tickets.."

This is what my youngest brother did to his older brother. He knew nothing about it til he came out in the morning. We also videoed him coming out and discovering it. The look on his face was priceless!
Classic one Beth .. I did mention to a few of them at Greens lake that I wanted to do that to the toilet block so that we were the only ones could use it ..

GS, why have you got your underpants hanging on the back of your van?
Silly question really.
Here are some pics of our fence and gate, we store it on the roof
