Whilst in Gin Gin Rest Area Camps6 #118 I met up with Ken & Lyn, Dun Wurkun their forum name and John is Jack Mac, good to put a face to the names as we talked about our travels.

A guy goes to the supermarket and notices an attractive woman waving at him. She says hello. He's rather taken aback because he can't place where he knows her from. So he says, "Do you know me?" To which she replies, "I think you're the father of one of my kids." Now his mind travels...

Back in Mareba from our five week trip up to The Tip. Visited and stayed at several beaches on way up. Done most of Old Telegraph Track.

Just a post to let you know of a good honest mechanic if you are looking for one in the Mareeba, Qld area. His name is Sam Musumeci and his number is 07 4092 6085 or 0410328930. He did a job on our cruiser and he did an excellent job. Would recommend him any day. His workshop tidiness is the give away. Brian

Billeeee recommended that I go to Darlington Park on a previous thread so here is the result. Darlington Park Camps6 #705 24kms south of Beaudesert on Kerry Road. An excellent place to camp along the Albert River and up the hill towards the kiosk there are plenty of camping spots available. Had no inte...

It was raining and the place was really wet with water over the road in huge puddles and the grassy walk to the amenities block was a muddy track. There is a footbridge over the river...

Yep, just felt an earth quake here in down town Wonthaggi, felt about the same as the one a few weeks ago and lasted about 30 seconds and as I type this just got what I spose is an after shock not as bad and about 5 seconds. A few photos on the wall have turned a bit but still there.

Hi Wondering how you keep a track of the good places to camp you come across or hear about in an organised way. I'm hopeless at organisation. POIs on a GPS, I haven't found a way to do that, mine is a Kogan, not even sure if it is possible.

I have just posted details of a great mechanic in the Mareeba, Qld on the recommendation forum. Brian
