I'm packed ... Hope everyone has some Solar cash coz I don't want to take any of this back home....

Remember to shut your side kitchen flap!

I hope to leave on Monday. Can't come down there and not drive up a big hill.

good, gives you time to come on the day trip to Kelly sites on Sunday, or, you can come on Monday and leave for home from Greta.

Packing the camper tomorrow. Work on Thursday and then Friday Morning we are on the road.
A stop in Healsville at the Bakery then on to Mansfield to pick up the final supplies and then we will be there.
Can I have the site next to Swannie? You the one. The one with the freshly manicured lawns that is dead flat with great views but without the slab.

Can't wait.
Regards

PS look out for my Crisp Image banner around the camp and come and say hi.

Easy - I don't work !! So CT is just about packed all the time - Just need an excuse ..

I don't work either but still got to do some packing!!   Will setup the tent this afternoon to enable me to pack the fridge, make the bed and pack some clothes. Car is still packed from last trip away.

NOW I'm getting excited  ;D  We will leave tomorrow morning. Plan to arrive on site midday Friday.

Just re-read the local weather forecast .... So I had to wrap all the goodies in a tarp ....
Last time I wrapped stuff in a tarp I lost the tarp, 4 tiedowns and 6 rubber floor squares !!!
Hope this one lasts the distance ...
