Eastern Invasion
The blokes from the east side of the paddock have started to arrive already.
Most of the visitors will arrive via the Nullabour (Big long straight Road to our overseas friends).
There are plenty of military type places to visit over here and a few collections to view for those with time to do so before we depart.
August 6 we push off north via Cervantes, Dongara, Geraldton, Billabong, Overlander, Nanga, Monkey Mia, and Wooramel. Then it's inland to Mt Augustus and a whole lot of places with Aboriginal names usually meaning "Don't go There".
There are 48 vehicles in total with 13 Cmps, Several GMCs, Dodges, Bedfords, Macks and various others including a very brave fellow with a BSA M20.
Ularu (Ayres Rock), Kings Canyon and The Olgas are some of the other destinations on the way to Alice Springs.
Euan is expected and I will introduce him to the best wines in Australia, from the southwest of W.A., better than that bat piss they make over there.
Just a pity Keith is not comming to do film justice to this trip, maybe in 2010?
