Re: Trip
Thanks for bringing us along Lawrie.
Just for grins I was reading about Bedourie and Windorah. Their populations are listed as 115 and 122 residents on Wikipedia. Think about that for a minute!

Re: Trip
Well , I had a very interesting day today,I had planned a 260 klm trip,on a back road between Springsure and Tambo,I asked at the servo what the road was like, OK ,he said a bit of gravel ,that’s all, we have just had and election here and one of the slogans was ,it won’t be easy under albaneese ,he was one of the politicians),well I didn,t think they were talking about the road not being easy, but this one sure wasn,t easy,180 klms in I got stuck, so did a council truck that came along,luckily it had stopped raining so after 3-1/2 hrs we were able to extract the 33 , the council truck and my caravan,sanity prevailed and I retraced my steps and returned back to Springsure,were it took $7.50 in the slot at the truck wash down bay to clean up the 33 and caravan,so after a nice hot shower and meal ,I’m done for the day,
Nice result of the retracing my steps back to Springsure is I will have a coffee with Danny from the barn tomorrow. |

Re: Trip
I caught up with Lawrie today in Emerald, central Queensland. Just a quick lunch and Lawrie was off to give the 33 a wash after getting bogged!
