Its Thursday before Easter why are not you on the road ?????
« on: April 21, 2011, 06:51:29 PM »
Yes Still at home sitting on the keyboard readind MySwag at home . Due to work commitments couldnt hit the road till Good Friday . Having listened to the road reports out of Melb could be a good thing . So the plan is to put aside the calls from the already drunken swaggers around the camp fire ,pack up slowly then head off . Clear road , relaxed , looking for adventure    :cheers:
So whats your plan for the last big break till winter .  :cheers:

I will be on the road only if it is absolutely necessary and so far it is no where near necessary.

Have to go to Sydney on the 26th and already getting nervous. The only +ive is that most of the traffic will be going in the same direction - the speed is yet to be determined tho!
