 Sorry to HiJack topic, but, Barrie, what's it like at the Lake?  Crowded? Cold??? We are at Airlie Beach for another couple of days and thought to head towards Lake Elphinstone ... Have to check distance and maybe stop along the way?  Many thanks .... Back to you JC!

Nice one....you two got to the 'anti-winter' capital of Aust in the middle of Winter. Enjoy!

Here's a thought, if it gets cold there, where will you go? confuse

Nice here too, Jim (Cleaverville near Karratha). Still haven't needed to get out of shorts & T-shirts. No idea how many rigs here, apparently the camp stretches something like 7 kilometres along the beach.
