    Hi James, that will be great! Got room for another for sure!!

    The only booking we have had to make in advance is at Alice Springs. I'll put you on the maybe list, but I'll send you the booking details just in case.

    Thanks for the interest and Happy Easter.

    See you at Rays Outdoors in a couple of weeks,

    We had another good chat about the trip last night at the May meeting - and some serious trip shopping was done as we were at Rays Outdoors.

    Still got 7 definite cars and a couple of maybes (I hope everyone has sorted out our one booking in advance at Alice Springs). JamesM didn't come to the meeting to discuss, hope he knew where we were. Richard and Joel sounded interested so I'm still hoping we might get up to 9 or 10 cars!

    It's going to be great, and I'm counting it down! 7 weeks from tonight we will be at William Creek Pub on the Oodnadatta Track!

    I think most of us are going to meet at Nyngan on Monday night 23rd June, but a few of us might meet at Richmond Maccas at about 8am and convoy up from there.

    If anyone has ANY questions about the trip or gear that they will need, anything at all, PM, email or give me a call - all my details are on the itinerary.

    Just a bump up. Four weeks until the off and we still have seven cars, and a great crew!

    JamesM just messaged me to say he wouldn't be able to make it, and I haven't heard from the few who were thinking about it last meeting. There is STILL ROOM for a few more!

    If anyone else is thinking about it and wants a chat, send me a PM!

    Can't wait to get on the road!

    Dave

    Ouch, and 7500km to do. Not good. Big wheels? Offsets? Front caster?

    Worn tie rid ends I'm hoping. Fridays job.
    New/2nd hand Wrangler AT tyres on thursday.
    Roof rack fitting over the weekend for the jerry cans & maybe chairs.
    Then a major service Tuesday/Wednesday prior to leaving so no service required while away!

    If you were at the meeting last night, you would know we are up to 8 definites. Welcome aboard Richard!!!

    I did something today that I've been meaning to do for a couple of weeks, called the Cameron Corner Store and made sure they will be open for breakfast on the 25th. They are! That means we can leave Tibooburra early on Wednesday morning (about 7am), have a leasurely brekky at the Corner at about 8.30, and have plenty of time to run down the Strezelecki to Lyndhurst before the sun gets too low, and get into camp (at the pub) for a pick me up after three fairly long days driving! The next few are easy.

    A couple of people asked if we were going to convoy up to leave Sydney. I'm planning to meet Eddy at his place in Burwood at 7am on Monday 23rd. This is pretty much our normal! We will then drive to Richmond McDonalds and hopefully get there about 8am. JohnC thought he'd meet us there, and if anyone else wants to that'll be great! Let me know by email or PM so we don't leave without you. From there we will do Bells Line to Lithgow, then Mudgee, Dubbo, Nyngan. Andy and Charl are heading up a few days early and we'll meet them there. Its a pretty easy drive, and as long as we all get to Nyngan by Monday night no worries!

    If you have ANY questions or need a hand organising anything, please PM or email or phone...

    Two weeks and three days till I'm outa here!!!
