G'day Bill, thanks for the comment. We're still working on our video of the trip......a bit each day as this editing thing has a lot in it.
Yes we are enjoying the change and the area. We've both have never travelled out this way so we are keen to see so much more. I'm thinking of a trip on the Great Alpine Way over to Mt Beauty and on to Lake Hume we're we can do some stuff with our boat when its done. The change in life style from the city has been what I really needed. Hope all's we'll down at Drouin. :thumbsup:

Beautiful part of the world craig. Omeo through to bright is very nice, might be a bit slow towing the boat behind the fb though!

I think you might be right Muza. She looks to be a fair drive over the top!

Thanks Stewart. I'm loving cruising around in this car. Can't get enough of it.

When you're faced with an unpleasant task that you really don't want to do, sometimes you just have to dig deep down inside and somehow find the patience to wait for someone else to do it for you.

Hi V8ratrod. It certainly is a nice place. Hope you did your lap of Vic in a FB/EK!
I'm not far off posting a link to our little video of the trip. It's not much, just some nice scenery, music, cruising shots done with my new GoPro thingy. Stay tuned.
P.S. as a film producer/editor I make a good mechanic. :lol:

That looks so much fun, I am a long way off of doing this, but everytime I get bogged down with Martha I am going to watch your video. When she is on the road will have to take you through the Adelaide hills!

In the zone today. Decided to hand form some air filter covers from aluminium sheet. A little tricky without a pan brake folder but a bit of dolly work and some clamping did the trick. Just got some polishing to do then on to the next job.
