 Where does one start, the drive from Tassie to Cairns meeting members at Lake Placid and 
 then the trip starts, what a lot of memories (about 2 weeks at my age) of course driving a 
 good 4wd made the trip easy.
 Drove back down the track with Bert we parted company at Ravenshoe and then the rain started
 stayed at Greenvale c/park that night 4 inches of rain, then on to Clermont still raining then to
 Miles for a week and now at Brisbane staying with Paulp and Maria while getting my windscreen
 replaced (had a hole the size of a fifty cent piece were a rock went thru the screen 5km from Laura) going to the Cape).
What a great trip and to all members thanks for your advice when needed and a special thanks
to Paul and Maria for their invite to Brisbane.

Mauri.

It was a real pleasure meeting you. Driving from Tassie to the Cape is a long drive. The landrover performed brilliant as it should with a very experianced driver behind it.

         So nice to meet you on the trip you are inspiration to all, I only hope when I get to my older ages I will still be out on the road travelling the distances you have over the last few weeks. Safe trip home mate and hope to catch you on the road somewhere again.

Maurie,

Amy and I really enjoyed your company, stories and wit!!!  Could sit around a fire and nag for hours with your stories.  We should have started a book even with what we heard.

Hope to catch you (even in Tas) one day.

Please say hi to Paul and Maria. Enjoy those coffees

     Thank you all for your kind remarks,and yes Jk those fish tablets certainly work cos when I was
      a young lad I could not bend my best friend with two hands now I can do it easily with one
      so I must be getting stronger.

Hi Maurie,
You are what Myswag is all about , help others when needed, bring cheer to the group, and have a love for bush camping.
I am not saying that you are old but I hope that when I get to your age I can do and enjoy what Australia has to offer.

All the best mate and a safe trip home.

cheers duggie.
