Hi All, G7s here, OIC - "Camp Discrete " otherwise known as the Darling Range Horse and Pony Club, the gathering point of the 2005 Track.
Just left " Camp Discete ", after dinner, the Trackers seem to be happy and some a little over excited.
Dave Mottram is there with his Dad, - Ray as navigator, their tent got flooded in the storm Monday night, then Dave stept in a doggy doo first thing Tuesday, they were enjoying baked beans on toast tonight.
Bruce Campbell & Neil from Vic. have their Jeep in a local Auto Eletricians workshop tonght, they tried to start the Jeep this morning and it sang " Smoke on the Wire ".
The New South Welsh men - Graeme, Mick & Derek have taken control of the Club's Bar B que and the TV, the Victorians Win & Alan Carpenter have taken control of the kitchen and hall. The NSW mob upset the Vics, by letting their BBQ smoke set off the hall alarm tonight.
Euwan (?) and extended family turned up after dark, and left again, their tent and Corio trailer is on site, everyone was smiling !!!
The Toydodge is on site - Mark & Rob. they said they were there last night? came in late left early ?
