We are still good to go at this stage, we are currently in Toowoomba seeing my folks as they are crook. After repacking a over heating bearing on the the C/T on the way up it should be in tip top shape.

Why must women take pics when its obviously embarrassing to repack bearings in the campsite? WHY?

We had 120mm in the back yard, and a few extra in the lounge room............but a lot less than others...........
Hope all is good mate.

My pool filled up by 6 inches overnight. Had to get up and backwash it as we got a fair bit this morning as well.

Thanks BD. We're OK. Just got some carpet to dry out, and some ceilings to paint. Nothing, compared to others.
We've had big rain before (Feb 2004), but the intensity got us this time. It just couldn't get away. Spent yesterday closing gates after horses had bolted.........

Speewa is it 'Greens Campground'?
http://www.parkweb.vic.gov.au/resources05/05_0624.pdf

Does this matter
http://www.parkweb.vic.gov.au/1park_display.cfm?park=214
The open cut Balaclava Mine in the Whroo Historic Area has been temporarily closed due to concerns over visitor safety.

D4D the Greens camp site is some distance from the mine & in no way closed . Balacava Mine is a hole in a hill & as such OH&S have stuck there head up & said OH SH1111111T its a hole in the ground . Spoke to the ranger , He said the biggest problem is there are shafts that if your really dumb can get in to them . If you do get in to these holes & into troble Darwin Awards will be forth coming . You can still walk on the pathway through from top to bottom , its open cut , a hollow hill . Quite safe as is , so no worries . If you stay in camp that could be even safer .  Tucked up in a comfy chair with a blanket over your knees to stay warm , A cup o tea , or  :cheers:

Definitely  :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:  Only thing is that our fridge is too big and heavy to get out of the Patrol to sit it by my side and the kids have left home... Every time I get comfy I will have to get up for another  :cheers:

I'm bringing a couple of my kids along.  I'm sure that we can train them (in very quick time) to do this and I'll only charge a few bevvies for their services.  (yet again this comment only rings true until SWMBO finds out).

What UHF Channel will you be on Speewa?  I will call you when we are 10 minutes away to give you warning.  You should start running....  I'll try and restrain her but it will be a tough job and I may not succeed...

All I can say is that - although we haven't formally met yet both you and I should be glad that SWMBO isn't coming on this trip.  Fortunately the kids are and my youngest just brought me a beer, the training is working!!!!!!!

Fivid  Don't worry about me let her rip , She can take a number & get in line as others also want to do things to me with very blunt objects . Well deserved I suppose . Possibly when she meets me & discovers what a pitiful slob I really an I may got a reprieve  :cheers:

I wont be there until much later than expected, bloody work commitments >:D

Should give the rest of you a laugh though! - me setting up for the first time in anger with my three kids looking at me with absolutely no idea, and no inclination to help.  Might need more than a few beers to get over the initial experience!!!!!

See you all around 8pm (2000hrs for you military types).
