Sorry for the late replies and thanks for the emails....just got back from the Maitland show and had no computer. Sat night sounds good if everyone wants to catch up. Just work it out between yourselves and I'll be there. My number is 0419 734 989.

:cheers:

Hey crew,
Count us in for Saturday night, subject to any prior arrangements having been arranged by my social secretary. I'll check tonight, and see what I've forgtten about!

Sounds good to me. I swore after last year that I wouldn't be going back again, but keep in mind I said the same thing the year before. I'm sure there's some new gadget that I never knew existed, but won't be able to do without. After all, there's still *some* space inside the trailer, so I must not be taking enough crap with me...

Remember mate, this IS far-north QLD. We're all a bit, shall we say, morally relaxed up here. And that's not even getting to the Kuranda or Daintree residents... ;D ;D >:D
Thanks!
Matto :)

Why not???
Bill and Morag
To much on to slip up to Cairns at the moment
goin to Stanthorpe so will be close to Brissie
-
Is it .............
Yup ...... dipinds wear ya cum ffrommm...... :-*
-
Ok so what is goin' on with all the so called FNQ P!sspots? :-*
Are we going to get together with JT on Saturday night and if so where? ??? ??? ??? ???
Grrr!!! >:D >:D
-
We anticipate going down on Saturday, probably in the arvo as he probably has to work in the am. It would be great to meet up with the group. What time does the show finish? Cheers Rellbell
-
Dunno Rellbel ???
- anyway when JT finishes I thought we might go for a pub feed somewhere then get into it...Any suggestions - I am open to all sorts but no one seems to want to commit at this time. Maybe the Balaclava for a counter tea followed by copius amounts of amber...??? >:D
Just remember that JT is very very fussy..There MUST be alcohol where ever we go ok.. ;D
What time do u think you can get away John ? (JT)
Grrr!!! >:D
-
It's not that we dont want to commit.
It is more like we are flexible with our time so we can do whatever.
We would rather someone else (whose time isnt as flexible) make the deicsion.
We will be there no matter when or where...
Bill and Morag
-
What they said x 2 - Balaclava sounds great. I was wondering how their steaks were.
-
Turned once only I believe. ;D
I have partaken and supped there a couple of times and found the fair to be bloody good..
Looks like we may end there if anyone else chooses to tag along.'
Grrr!!! >:D
-
Thanks for call Crazy. Been away camping for the last few days, so missed all the chatter here.
Definitely into catching up with JT and everyone else. Balaclava sounds good to us. Have eaten there in recent times and found it good. See you all there.
Sharyn :D
-
There had to be someone out there camping hey. what with the beautiful weather we have been having lately, where did you go?? Has Jcclures seen this thread yet?
-
Evening Rellbell. Went out to Emu Creek for 3 nights. Very cold nights, but the days were heavenly. The creek is still flowing - crystal clear water - and after an hour or 2 of hiking, we even braved the cold water for a swim! Being just an ordinary weekend, there was only one other family in the area, so it was very peaceful.
-

Will do my best to make that.. Have had a couple of lunchtime steaks there and they were good!!
-
We should be there.
What time???
Bill and Morag
-
Need to talk to JT as to when it suits him Bill.. I will ask him at the show..
Grrr!!! >:D
-
Sorry all, modem dead and still no Internet. Am easy also with what goes, and dinner Saturday night sounds good. Will ring CD tomorrow and have a chat. Cheers Big D and T
-
Me and the good wife will be coming to say g'day on Sat morning......... lucky for me i'm home for the Expo, so i'm definately heading in for a look around..... see ya there.
-
At this stage it looks like JT will hold the answer to what times dinner.
-
Hey guys and girls,
Have been speaking to the big man today, he tells me that 7pm Saturday night would suit him perfectly. So 7pm at the Balaclava sounds like the plan! Hopefully we'll see you all there, or at least at the show tomorrow!
Thanks!
Matto :)
-
With bells and whistles Matto-- CU there.
Grrr!!! >:D

Hi all, it was fantastic to meet you all, we Tony Norelle & Emma had a great time, lovely food and fantastic company. Hows that JT hey. He's the man, staying to the end partying to make sure everybody was looked after. Cheers Norelle
-
;D Hi all, went with a mate to check out the massive array of boats (not) on show at the home, camping and the one boat show :-[ >:(
However ;D ;D met JT at the Trackabout stand which made the show sorta worthwhile for me. Great to meet the legend.
:cheers: Paul
-
Ditto Norelle. We very much enjoyed meeting you, Tony & Emma and other local Myswag members too. Was great that John had the time to come along to dinner with us all as well. Was a great night all round.
Sharyn :D
-
We thought it was nice to meet and chat with everyone as well.
JT you are an interesting man to chat with.
I enjoyed our conversation...
Bill and Morag

Finally back in the land of the living..WHAT A BIG DRIVE !!! was great catching up with old mates and meeting new friends. The show went great guns and I'll definitely be back next year and might even try and take a few extra days to enjoy what Cairns has to offer.
Thanks to all who turned up to say G'Day, it was great meeting and putting a face to the names on here.
Cya's all next year ;D
Cheers
JT
-
Ditto what everyone's already said - it was a great night with good food and better company. I didn't get a chance to speak to everyone unfortunately, so I'll have to catch up with those I missed next time!
Big thanks to Crazy Dog for organising it all - much appreciated.
And thanks to JT for letting us drag him out for another late night following a couple of very busy days!
Hope to catch up with you all again soon!
Matto & Jess :)

It was a pleasure to have John (JT) up here with us and to enjoy a gr8 evening with the Myswaggers who were able to make it. An entourage of about 18 I think..
Most of us, if not all, checked out his display at the show..what an awesome beast it was too. ;D
THE BLING MACHINE OF ALL TIME: TV -stereo multiple Jerry cans and gas bottles. One helluva kitchen and outer tail gate with the jack, shovel etc one humongous tool box up front and complete with an auto raise and lower boat rack to boot and completed with OB motor etc.
The only problem was that most of us and the general public could not quite work out how to get the boat off the rack. ;D
Maybe NOW JT will tell us eh but!!!
Grrr!!! >:D >:D

Stop messing with me Crazy Dog.....you know my thoughts on the boat rack subject GRRRRR !!! Not one person down at the Maitland show asked how to remove the boat (guess they had the smarts) ;D must be something in the water up north me thinks ;o) There is a guy nagging me to buy it, so might sell the new beast to him. He dragged his 90 year old dad over and said "this is what your gunna spend some of my inheritance on" ;D Dad smiled revealing his pearly white gums and said ok ??? (love to have a dad like that) The son had a smile from ear to ear revealing his one good pie eating tooth ;D....I may sell the beast to him with a dental plan thrown in !! STAY TUNED.....
Cheers

Was the one good pie eating tooth nice and shiny?........... If so, ol' mate obviously has a dental plan in place, just think of the time he saves only having one tooth to clean........ bloody 'ell i'm jealous!!....... I'm off to find my pointy nose vice grips right now..... ;D

Nah was a tad over looked, and the worst part of it was that he had a bit of food caught between his tooth :cheers:
