Educating Canadians

[Rusty]

Tony lend the Lad a gumboot, enough said

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.

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.

... just on a slow connection. We drove from Dubbo to Cryon, visited Yarraldool, drove through Walgett to Bourke.

Was heavy raining the first few days. Took some good mud pics, but unfortunately, Mark G forgot his card reader.

We will try tomorrow to drive to White Cliffs, depending on road conditions.

Greetings from Max and his Canadian Crew as well

Great to hear from you Chris and greetings to the rest of the crew.

Looking forward to hearing more as you find internet connections.

Hope the CMPs have been behaving themselves.
