Default bbq

... this is a real-time posting. The Canadians are just making an Aussie BBQ. The Canadians are doing a good job on the Barbie. Since its all upside down to them, will cook sunny-side down to make it more Canadian.

Hope Max was able to order Maple Syrup in a 44 gall drum so there's enough for the trip.

So was it all panic today as Max predicted?

I hope that's Vegemite in your swag, Chris!

And as the old saying goes: "A wet fart does NOT count as a "Spa"!"

Canadians are away, two Canadians went AWOL on the day of departure so Max and Kath had to stay behind a while, the rest got going at 8 am in the nice misty rain, at least they all had padded overalls to keep their hides dry.

Default Day 1 route

We left Yass and headed to Boorowa, Toy Dodge up front and Canadians in Max's ute and blitz. Arrived at Boorowa and waited for a while for the Canadians to arrive. Swiss Chris and I decided that if we gave them time for a leg stretch they might forget all they learned so far about crash box truck driveing. So when we sighted the blitz grinding through the gears we pulled out and kept them going to Cowra.

I thought that it might be nice to educated the Canadians on the Cowra breakout so we stopped at the vistors centre for a look at the historic movie on the Japanese breakout during WW2 from the POW camp. I soon learnt that 6 older Canadians and cats were related as we tried to entice them back to the trucks for another haul. Eventually lunch is just around the corner got the boys behind the wheel and 32km we got round the corner to Canowindra.

While most went to the bakery for lunch we lost 1 Australians and two Canadians now that was a total of four lost Canadians for the day. Eventual tail end Charlie Mark Gruber found them holed up in Pub drinking bear and not wanting to drive another leg in an old truck. As the apointed leader for this section child pyshcology was applied and told them we were leaving now and left, they soon were on the road trying to catch up.

Next stop was Molong were we visted a junk yard artist who turns old farm machinery into art work, in fact for the next 80 km of road every farm seemed to be displaying a bit beside the road. This were Max caught up along with the Four Canadians he did not stop as he had left his best working dog at home and rounding up Candians was hard work on your own.

That a pretty smart bit of garden art. He should put it on Epay. He might make a good buck on it. I bet the ride would be nearly as bad as a CMP.

... nope, no panic day

Everything went more or less smoothly and the Canadians packed for the first time their Swag. Not everybody was so keen to sleep in it on the ground. Some of them are sleeping in the trucks under cover

Kathy spoiled me with couple swag. So she's probably hoping I flirt with a jillaroo or pick up a blonde tall Swedish backpacker As you say here, you haven't been in Australia if you haven't slept in a Swag and had a s## in it

bye
chris

Well I have to say. Swag's are great to keep out the cold but if they are telling you to shit in it then I guess I've never been to Australia either. Generally you dig a hole, say a small prayer like "Thank God for that" and cover it over. You would have your own personal Dutch oven though!

Chris only included two ## after the "S" not three ### which could mean an entirely different exercise which works best with two if you get my drift
