While in Vancouver you can get vegemite flavored ice-cream! down on east venables at the ice cream place across from the ferrari dealer.

Don't forget Harry we'll be in Vancouver 29 & 30 June, then we'll be hard to contact until we get to Toronto. You can text us on our phone if you wish. 0407264269.

Just thought of something
 
Hey Max!

Hope you two are enjoying your investigative tour and catching up with everyone you intended to (as well as others you didnt) :)

Just reading the MLU T-Shirt thread. D-you reckon you could act as the Australian Agent and grab a few?? (Kathy will probably kill me when you get back....but anyway)

By agent I mean sales agent, not ASIO or anything like that....what have the Canucks got that we dont know about anyway!!

Max Hedges 09-07-11 14:57

Morning Tony....the canadians sure have some lovely weather at the moment... shorts and t shirts. WE have been talking to Emma and she reckons it has been awful cold. too cold and wet to do the list of jobs I left for her.
WE finally managed to get Murray Calders carrier running and take it for a drive around the yard so on tuesday we hope to have a get together in the bush and take the carrier and the jeep for a spin.
How many t shirts do you think we would need to take home with us
It would be good if Chris found a cowgurl to take home with him, perhaps tony you should"ve come with us too, plenty there all sorts of shapes sizes and ages to chose from.

Ganmain Tony 10-07-11 01:06

Ok
 
Just a nice girl of our species will do fine Max and Kathy....

T-shirts....hmmm....One for Keefy, Four for Howard, a couple for your good selves and two for me please....actually grab four for me & Ill give one to Andrew at Dubbo and one to John Mackie. (I'll pay for them of course).

Theres also Ashley Robert and Mark I suppose. Tim as well...(Strewth! this list is getting bigger!)

Freezing and wet down here as well.

The Queensland Reds belted the Crusaders in the Rugby last night so that has made the weather far more tolerable. :thup2: :cheers: :thup2:

Enjoy that Canadian Sun. Tell 'em its only on loan and we want it back..

chris vickery 10-07-11 02:49

:thup2:G'day mates!
I will be meeting up with the lads with T shirts in hand.
Thanks, Chris

Max Hedges 11-07-11 13:28

The weather is still warm, they are getting worried as the lawns are starting to dry out, not normal to go brown over here. Talking 29 degrees today. Took Chris up to jon skagfield yesterday, went to a montana steak house for dinner and today is the tidy up day for the rodeo.

Max Hedges 14-07-11 03:54

met up with Chris Vickery and have a few t shirts to take home
had a good day yesterday with Murray's carrier in the bush

Bob Carriere 14-07-11 04:07

Sorry I could not join the gang...
 
...hate it when my work interferes with planned social activites....

Thanks for the parts Max..... will be forwarding $$ to Chris.

Kathy and I were treated by one of the canadians that came down under last year to trip to a play at one of the Stratford theatres and saw a musical camelot. Apparently I had a little snore, so maybe the culture as all a bit too much for me. Kathy found a shop with a welsh rugby jumper for our son. A very interesting trip though.

Max Hedges 20-07-11 13:33

one thing the Canadians have done for us during our visit is to provide some lovely warm weather
we will soon be leaving for home back to winter, at least Kathy has her suitcase full of quilts,maple syrup candies and rye

hrpearce 20-07-11 22:00

Max Hedges 21-07-11 16:38

G'day Max,

I hope you get through security okay with your armour plated shoulder. Thank you for your hospitality when I was living in Canberra. I got to have my second ever drive in a F15A that actually made vroom, vroom noises and had its wheels turn under its own power when I visited your place last year.
Thanks again

Kind Regards
Lionel

Actually you wouldn't believe it they were filming border security whilst we weregetting off the plane in Sydney so you never know we might be on there some day, they only took our shoes to clean the dirt of canada off them.
