You're just jealous, Goldie   ;D

Finally, FINALLY packed... Hit the road tomorrow morning. Cairns on Thursday afternoon.

Would supply photos but it's too bloody dark and cold....

BRING IT ON!!!!!

Give us a call when you pass through Mackay and say G'day!

Well I know at least one traveller who will be well armed to capture all of the photographic evidence from this years' Cape Tripl  (Depending on how 'well hydrated' everyone is)

Sym may mention that our Cruiser has had one or two 'birthdays' to prepare for this trip....$$$....... :cheers:

Drive safely Boys.  The weather is fantastic up here at present with min 17 and max about 26.  Should be hotter the further up the cape we go.

Well after numerous beers this afternoon and looking at the tyres on the camper I decided to ring my mechanic and get some new shoes for it tomorrow.

$230 each for new all terrain tyres makes me feel more at ease except for my credit card but I know if I have to buy any up there I will pay a hell of a lot more.

Back to my beer now !! ;D
