Enjoy, unfortunately I can't get there this year. Was entered, but had a set back, and will miss out. So it is West Oz for the next one for me.

That is great news that you bypassed that major accident. I heard that the Bruce Highway will be closed for days. Have fun at the Nationals. Regards Mercman <><

Thanks for posting! What are the temperatures in your stretch of Oz like, this time of year. I would think still a bit chilly...

Chuck, weather is very nice for travelling,shorts and shirts
29 c during the day,
We missed the big accident,we were way further out west of the highway .
Pic is our lunch stop yesterday and smoko stop this morning at BanBan springs.
We had stopped later today for a coffee and home made biscuits,but some inconsiderate so and so had left a bag of prawn heads close by and nearly gassed us out😄
Both are cars going great,so far 1600klms,
