Hi Lawrie.
I live only an hour from Echuca and am figuring on traveling to Maryborough Qld (100 miles from Lawrie) for the A nationals in Sept. About 1,000 miles. Just the opposite direction to what you have just taken. I like the picture of the ag. plane that is spraying cotton. I flew ag for 52 years and that was a good working life. My granddaughter has only just finished glider towing (sailplanes for Americans) in the very first aeroplane I flew in 1968 when I was 20 and she too is now 20. That is she, Milly, wearing those global size sunnys. gary

Gary and Lawrie, Thanks for posting. I will also be driving to Maryborough for the National. I was in Maryborough, Victoria yesterday, as it happens.
We (Glenda and I) will be travelling with 3 other cars and I hope to catch up with a cousin I haven't seen in sixty something years as we drive past Brisbane, where she now lives. We both look forward to meeting up with both of you there.
