My nationals trip and long way home, about 1800km all up, no prob's .
Pre packing.

Just about full.

Most of the way there, Tocumwall.


Stu and the Tassie boys.

WEEEEE.


Negotiating a fare the rest of the way.

Behind the Tassie ute.

Then DR.

Plenty of this.

Made it.

Plenty of drinks with a bbq dinner, Mini was a great host .

Lots of this.

Bed time for the kids, so I dragged the DAKAM crew in for more drinks, Dave left after the bourbon was gone .

Little ones look like they re having a ball!! not to much are we there yet?

Saturday sign on.


Cruze to Leeton for lunch.

At a winery, who drinks that shit anyway .


Big Rog, who's a handsome boy then .


Pre lunch entertainment.

Found this romantic couple feeding each other, awww.

Telling me where to go, nicely .

Pre dinner drinks start again .





My cling-on.


Host, Steve Jackson.

Familiar site.

A stunned mullet .

Brown Bear having a go at an old lady (it got messy folks ).

144 Gold FB's, t'dah.

Saved that for the way home .

dave owes you a bottle next nationals what a prick he was drinking all your bourbon
it was fun the look on melinas face when you told the boys to have a piss was priceless

I was only being polite and accepting what our host was offering.

Dave.

FFFFFFFFFreezing cold Sunday morning .



The trusty steed.

MMMM





Turned out a great day.


Cross flow anyone?


Richard and Kates FB, one of my favorites.

Another stunned mullet .

Dave.

If you didn't have a drink with me it would have been a lonely night so that's good enough for me .

Back on the road Monday morning,



At-least there was someone awake to force a smile out of.

The long and winding road.


Mum, wrapped to have the kids back .

Did the holiday thing.

Back on the road Wed morn, heading for Lakes entrance, 500km.

Feeding my face for lunch, hanging out the washing.

Stayed at Lakes entrance the night the a quick 300km home on Thur morn .
The FB ran like a dream all the way, every noise made me nervous (the kids made most of it).
Good to be home .

I think DR and I got half way through a convo before I had to bail out at the show.
Trev you have heaps more street cred now, an FB and 4 kids...

It's weird how you don't get time to talk to everyone that you want to, I think we go a couple of polite g'days in and off we went .
