audiomick Posted July 16 Posted July 16 the wonderful wizard of Oz(tralia). Given that I am here often, I thought I'd mention that for the next three weeks I probably wont be. We're flying to Australia tomorrow to visit my family. My last visit was in 2016, and I haven't seen one of my brothers since 2013. Flying in to Brisbane, where a former flatmate of mine lives, the brother I haven't seen since 2013 2 hours south of there. 1400 km down to Canberra to my sister, 450 odd km south of there to my mother and another brother, 1 1/2 hours west of there to my father and another brother, and then 300 odd km south to Melbourne for a couple of days. I'm expecting to cover about 2,500 km in three weeks. I hope it all goes to plan. PS: also my first long trip in a camper van. With my girlfriend. Hope that works, too. 7 1 2
docc Posted July 16 Posted July 16 I love this plan! Bon voyage (however an Aussie might say that . . . ) 1

pete roper Posted July 17 Posted July 17 If you’re in the Canberra region and fancy a beer give me a yell. I’m about 35km from Canberra 1
audiomick Posted July 17 Author Posted July 17 3 hours ago, pete roper said: ... I’m about 35km from Canberra Yeah, I know. Thanks for the invite. I'll be arriving in Canberra on the 26th. July to visit my sister (coming down from the north), and moving on towards Albury-Wodonga on the 28th. If I reckon I can fit it in, I'll let you know. PS: where are you exactly? So's I can have a look at the map and see if I'm expecting to be coming past there directly.
guzzler Posted July 17 Posted July 17 Mate If you're coming through Drouin, give me a yell.. Pretty sure my email address is on here but will check! Cheers
guzzler Posted July 17 Posted July 17 Bugger, I thought it was but not so! Don't know how to get in touch but if we can you're quite welcome here mate! Cheers Ps I'll be at work but on a/leave from the 4th August and hanging round the house till the Friday before we head off ourselves! 1

The closest I'm expecting to get is a visit at a mate's place somewhere near Arthur's Seat. Time is tight. We've got just over three weeks, and I could easily fill 6.
guzzler Posted July 17 Posted July 17 Bugger. Oh well mate hope everything goes well and you have a great trip! Cheers

So's I can have a look at the map and see if I'm expecting to be coming past there directly. I’m in Bungendore. It’s almost directly east of Canberra on the way to the coast. We’re about twenty minutes away from Queanbeyan which is the town just over the border from Canberra in the ACT. 26th/27th would be fine but I’m off to hospital again for another of my interminable heart procedures on the 28th so I might be a bit squiffy for a day or two after that. 1
audiomick Posted July 28 Author Posted July 28 So, we made it to Bungendore. @pete roper it was great to meet you and June. Sorry we got there later than planned. I hope the rest of your evening went well. 2
pete roper Posted July 28 Posted July 28 Good yo meet you. Pity we took you to the wrong pub. Didn’t realise it was going to be stuffed so full of noisy rugby morons! We felt guilty about that. We could of taken you to the other pub which would of been shit in another way! Hint to other visitors. Don’t come on Friday evenings! Especially in winter! 2 1

audiomick Posted Saturday at 01:49 AM Author Posted Saturday at 01:49 AM I managed to find an hour to go off an meet @Lucky Phil the other day. The coffee machine does indeed work very well, and the V10 Greenie is very pretty. Thanks Phil for a very pleasant visit. 2
