Default Enough Is Enough

Hey all - this guy is having too good a time here. We are going to have to charge him rent soon. Not bad for a guy who only made a cursive enquiry a few years ago about seeing something military here. Onya Chris!

Bob

ONCE AGAIN, NOT WATCHING THE CLOCK - LOGGED OUT AT 1/4 TO THE HOUR. ABOUT TIME THIS WAS FIXED.

Default not just playing

Hi Bob

No worries. I do sometimes a little bit of work too: Fencing, hay loading etc.

However, i just drove the Girlfriend and broke down twice (running out of fuel). The first time, I had to walk back to the farm for around 15min, the second time I had a pick up. The battery is now flat, but there's stil some fuel in the tank. She woun't start. I'll let the expert to the job

It's really a ripper time here. Every time I come to Aussie, it's getting even better and better. I don't think my coming up 4th visit some time in the upcoming years can be topped. I'll probably have to apply for citicenship

Greetings
Chris

PS Tomorrow is a little "boarder" raid on the agenda, just inside NSW

Maybe next time you won't want to go home again

A border raid isn't a border raid unless you cross the state boundary... ask Salesman Bob, he's an expert in the art... internal raids are just a recovery exercise aren't they?

And this one I believe is for a good, worthy cause.

It's alright for you to say that, he's not raiding Victoria! There is most definately a border between the Southern Tablelands and the Central Tablelands, and if you don't know where that is, we have ways of reminding you:

















(Err, where is that border again? )

Has anyone checked GRIN that this driver has an Australian license. Has been here long enough to be an Australian.

Nice to see you back mate

Regards

Col

Default Working?

Chris - I don't actually see you working. I see you holding up a fence post, standing on top of a load of hay and a skin rash. You are wearing gloves on the load of hay photos, so how did you get the rash? I reckon you got that from resting your head on your arms. Nowhere do I see you bending your back.

Bob

Default leaving oz

This is going to be my last posting when I'm in Aussie. Couldn't get onto mlu for the last 3 days here in Sydney.

Will fly home to Switzerland tomorrow with a short stop over in Singapore, strechting my worn out legs.

Well, my Aussie mates, thanks a lot for this unforgettable journey again!! Was much more better than expected. A ripper holiday! You were so kind to me.

Special thanks to Max & Kathy for their brilliant hospitality (and the opportunity of sleeping in a Swag), Keefy for restoring my Blitz and getting her ready for Corowa, Matt for my first Tank Drive in a WW2 tank and Neil for the Sunshine roof Cab for my Blitz and Ashley (mlu lurcker) for picking it up. And all the others I met.

Corowa was good to put some faces behind mlu-names, I'm glad you recognised me

Enjoy the long Easter weekend.
Chris
