Well we made it our first trip down to Kempsey ,must have seen 300 odd nomads heading north are we  heading the wrong way.
Stopped at Yamba and Coffs harbour
No majors.
although will double check the poptop locks in future after being flaged down 6 k,s out of Yamba.
Lesson learned .

Well, I hate to be the one to break it to you, but yes you are - well, according to the southerners fleeing north to escape the cold of winter.
Personal choice.
I'm glad your trip went well, and there's nothing "odd" about nomads, most of them anyway.
We all learn lessons every time we hit the road. That's just life.
When we stop learning and looking, we're dead. I don't know about you, but I have a lot of living to do.

Cheers Chris

No offence taken, and it's not an exclusive K1W1 expression.
It's just my playing with your English - or should I say, "Inglush".
If you only saw the "odd" nomads, I just wonder where the "even" nomads were that day?
Cheers Chris

we find it quite interesting some of the Ozzy slang,
Like going to the Servo with daveO to get some petrol and stopping at the bottleO to get some tinnies on the way home we saw an accident at the corner and the fireys and the AmbO,s were there. LOL
So I guess we have a few that are easily confused too
cheers mike
Must be time for a Schooner or a pot
