A wonderful surprise meeting today.


Popped in to Childers today, parked in the angle centre parking.

As I looked across to the footpath while chatting to a couple in the next vehicle, who should be standing there with a big grin on his face was Jim (JustCruising). Jim and Leonie had been sitting outside the bakery when I drove past looking for a park.

Spent a lovely time, must have been about an hour, chatting to them both. Last time I saw them was at the Cobb and Co get together this time last year. Before that was at Greens Lake in Victloria. My gosh it is a small world. You never know who is around the next corner.

Thank you Jim and Leonie. A pleasure catching up with you again.

So true JC, the couple I was chatting to as I got out of the van were asking me about my Grey Nomads sticker on the back. I had just finished saying, there are heaps of grey nomads on the road, I looked up to see you grinning at me. "There's one now" Its like birdwatching. You just never know when the next one pops into view.

It's a small world when you have wheels under you. There are a lot of GN's on the road in all forms of recreational vehicles.

G'day Jack Mac, do you know any of the Honor family?

I married the best one and took her to Vic. Might be up that way again soon.

I think there is a bit to do and see around childers, bird farm, reptile park and memorial for the Backpackers burnt in the fire. they do cater for nomads, worth a stay next time you go through.

 Hi Jeff,

don't any of them but the local councillor up here is Wayne Honor so probably related.

If up this way call in and see me if you like. Just PM me and I'll give directions etc.

Cheers,

Jack.
