Unfortunately there was a bit too much attention paid to Cribbys ute...

Some serious colouring in was also done over the weekend...

Drive home south on Tuesday was pretty hairy...

was nearly run off the road by a b-double...
narrowly missed a fallen tree lying across two lanes of highway...
highway at Kempsey was down to one lane due to flooding...
the FB died on Pennant Hills Road about 40 mins form home...timing troubles... :roll: :cry:

We linked up with the Clancey's for a time and a grey ute and blue EK... Ruby on the trailer had transmission troubles...

Hey Stuart, wonder if the guy in the grey ute made it home without being picked up for an obscured number plate. This is the GESTAPO state and we all know what it's about.

Outstanding Pics Stu.

Your daughter did a great job on the coloring in. Too bad there was no competition.
It was great to catch up with you and many others!
Cheers
