It's alright for you to say that, he's not raiding Victoria! There is most definately a border between the Southern Tablelands and the Central Tablelands, and if you don't know where that is, we have ways of reminding you:

















(Err, where is that border again? )

Has anyone checked GRIN that this driver has an Australian license. Has been here long enough to be an Australian.

Nice to see you back mate

Regards

Col

Default Working?

Chris - I don't actually see you working. I see you holding up a fence post, standing on top of a load of hay and a skin rash. You are wearing gloves on the load of hay photos, so how did you get the rash? I reckon you got that from resting your head on your arms. Nowhere do I see you bending your back.

Default Camping

Ganmain Toni brought yesterday Tickets back. A small group of Blitz aficionados incl. their better halfs went camping out in the bush. I spent some time 4x2 driving over historic bridges and trough nearly flodded creeks.

After a very nice Barbie I slept in a swag under 1000 stars next to a Blitz. What can you ask for more?

It's my last day today here at Max's and Kathy's. Well head tomorrow to Sydney before I'll fly home on Friday.

Greetings
Chris

PS The MLU member pic was taken by a well known mlu lurker.

This is going to be my last posting when I'm in Aussie. Couldn't get onto mlu for the last 3 days here in Sydney.

Will fly home to Switzerland tomorrow with a short stop over in Singapore, strechting my worn out legs.

Well, my Aussie mates, thanks a lot for this unforgettable journey again!! Was much more better than expected. A ripper holiday! You were so kind to me.

Special thanks to Max & Kathy for their brilliant hospitality (and the opportunity of sleeping in a Swag), Keefy for restoring my Blitz and getting her ready for Corowa, Matt for my first Tank Drive in a WW2 tank and Neil for the Sunshine roof Cab for my Blitz and Ashley (mlu lurcker) for picking it up. And all the others I met.

Corowa was good to put some faces behind mlu-names, I'm glad you recognised me

Enjoy the long Easter weekend.
Chris

Chris it has been a pleasure to have you here, sorry about the visitor that came to your room, but she hasn't been seen since. Hope your hands have fully recovered before you go back to work, I'd hate to see you turn up with a band aid on as you would have some explaining to do, what would you tell them Chris ?You got away just in time as Emma was flat out crutching at Dalton and I was putting a crop in here to try and beat the rain which we did, we've had 22mm so far with more to come over the next three days.

Dennis I was there where were you? I only got in a Friday. If you're down this way plese call in anytime.

Max
